Channel24's Film and TV editor, Leandra Engelbrecht, sits down with Sarah Paulson to talk about her role in the new Netflix series, Ratched.
It was a rainy night in Cape Town when I spoke to Ryan Murphy alum Sarah Paulson about her role in the series Ratched. It was a scene that was eerily similar to the opening scene of the series.
The show explores the origin story of Nurse Mildred Ratched – a cold, heartless tyrant who is the head nurse at a state mental hospital - from the book and film adaptation of One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest. Louise Fletcher went on to win an Oscar for Best Actress in 1976 for her portrayal of the iconic villain in the movie.
