Winn Adami and typecasting?

[Taelon]

Winn Adami was played by Louise Fletcher, who is probably most famous for her role as Nurse Ratched in One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest. Do you think that there was any typecasting involved when she was given her role in Deep Space 9?

 

[Tosk]

There was twenty years between the two roles. Hardly what I'd call typecasting.

Someone should ask her about working with Suder and Kruge.

And Louie De Palma.

Hey, if you can order the lobotomy of a guy for trying to strangle you, for being an insensitive bitch, you are definitely right for the role of Winn.

I never saw her in Taxi. Did I miss it?

Fletcher also played an evil religious maniac who kept her grandchildren locked in an attic because they were born of incest in Flowers in the Attic. Her character, Olivia Foxworth, spouts Bible verses at the kids while tormenting them. I have thought before there was a little bit of similarities between the two characters, so there could be a little bit of typecasting there. She's an amazing actor. I've never seen One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, but I've loved her in a lot of other roles - a meth making ex con bisexual grandmother on Shameless, a sweet aunt in Cruel Intentions, a few tv roles, and a vampire mother whose twin sons have a threesome relationship with a woman in some strange vampire movie in the early 90s.

That last one is definitely intriguing. But you have to see "One flew over..." . I consider it a work of art.

I don't think so, but I believe "Louie" was in "Cuckoo's Nest".

Danny De Vito was one of the patients in "Cuckoo's Nest". Martini, I think. It was Christopher Lloyd's first film.

Oh yes, I should have remembered that. It's about time for me to rewatch it.

I hadn't seen Danny in anything before "Cuckoo's Nest", and saw it when it was first released in '75. Actual mental patients were used as some of the extras, and at the time I thought maybe he was one of them.
