Louise Fletcher was an awesome lady. Here's part of her Oscar speech after she won for playing Nurse Ratched:
Well, it looks like you all hated me so much that you've given me this award for it, and I'm loving every minute of it. And all I can say is I've loved being hated by you.
I really enjoyed despising Kai Winn. She’s such a broken character, always choosing the wrong side and still being completely convinced that her way is without alternative.
Still, I had some level of empathy with her (the gods she, in a way dedicated her love to, never chose her, never spoke to her and when she finally received visions, it was demons deceiving her). Fletchers performance is just the best.
I just watched In the Hands of the Prophets for the first time a few days ago. The conversations between her and Sisko are master class in acting. The way Avery expresses Sisko holding it together, when you know he just wants to unleash on her. And the way she delivers her lines cold and they cut so deep, all while having a smile on her face. It is so good it is scary.
She delivers the line, "May the Prophets forgive you for abandoning them" like she is spitting at him, but is very monotone and matter of fact with a smirk. I honestly don't know how she does it.
She's like the dude from the Voices Carry video. Every frame they appear in makes you want to push the Earth into a black hole just because they are on it.
