To prepare for her role of Nurse Ratched, she observed group therapy sessions at Oregon State Hospital, where Cuckoo’s Nest was shot. But she herself was part of no group. “I was totally isolated from everybody else in every way. Milos Forman is not one to discuss your role with you. He doesn’t want to intrude on you, to invade your space. And I was isolated from the other actors because of the character I was playing. A lot of the time I used to tell the other actors what to order for dinner. That isn’t like me to be so controlling. The boy who played Billy couldn’t eat. He would leave most of the food on his plate. And I would say, ‘Come now. Eat up. You have to eat that, Brad.’”
