She takes away these privileges when anyone displeases her. Her superiors ignore her because she maintains order and keeps patients from acting out through antipsychotic and anticonvulsant drugs and her psychotherapy brand, which includes humiliating patients into doing her bidding.

Speaking about the same, she said that since her height was 5 feet 10 inches, no television producer thought a tall woman could be s**ually attractive to anyone. She added,
"I was able to get jobs on westerns because the actors were even taller than I was." Louise Fletcher made a guest appearance twice on the CBS legal drama Perry Mason.
