But one question, how do we know she is Nurse Ratched. I’d never heared of her before so I did a search on her, and from what I read she’s a mean lady. But I don’t know what points to the nurse being her?
She looks exactly like her (the hair style is a dead giveaway) and K&H confirm it in this interview (about 20 seconds in): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H3coE2hSXTU
Anyone who has seen the movie, One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest, would have automatically recognized the Severe Nurse as Louise Fletcher’s Nurse Ratched. That hair was a dead giveaway! 😆
Her appearance, in Skin Deep, was immediately followed by the appearance of Chief Bromden (the custodian pushing a mop in the hospital basement) from the movie Cuckoo’s Nest. Brad Dourif, who got his first big role playing Billy in the movie, also played the beggar/Zoso in Desperate Souls. The author of the book, Ken Kesey, based the main character McMurphy on the real Neal Cassady and of course OUAT’s Neal Cassidy is based on the real Neal Cassady as well.
I love how K&H throw out these nods to the literary greats such as Kesey and Kerouac. I just hope we get to see a scene, at some point, where someone actually offers the custodian (Chief Bromden) a piece of Juicy Fruit Gum. 😆
