Mimi Sarkisian Interview: Episode 1 (One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest, Nurse Pilbow, Jack Nicholson)

[@shabadoo24]

She's still beautiful

[@YoshLovesYou]

I always wondered who the cute nurse was.

[@derekrichards9418]

My goodness she’s absolutely gorgeous looking both here and of course the film 🔥♥️😍

[@EmptyGlass99]

Her wide-eyed wonder and fear are perfect, she reflects what the audience is feeling.

[@jondstewart]

Nurse Pilbow was an enigma. A nice and pleasant young lady, but with no personality and easily startled. Yet a beautiful, likable Armenian American actress with almost no other credits plays her. Fascinating!

[@MrMittens1974]

She looked very much like Mila Kunis when she was younger. Great interview thanks.

[@OttoByOgraffey]

You mean Mila Kunis looks like her.

[@richp5321]

Her quiet demeanor and straight faced silence in some of those scenes was quite dramatic

[@aliensoup2420]

In some respect, she is the most mysterious character in the movie. You know she must have a strong feeling about her environment and her role within it, but she does not betray it. During the group sessions when McMurphy is making sarcastic and suggestive remarks, it is tempting to believe it is affecting her, by the look in her eyes. Because of her youth, we know she isn't a zombie, and there must be something going on in her brain, but we never discover it.

[@Jdeneik]

One of the Movie greats! Great interview!

[@Cyba_IT]

We studied OFOTCN in school when I was about 13 or 14 and she just seemed like a regular but kind of shy nurse. I didn't realise how cute she was until now. She had a real innocence that juxtaposed Ratched's evil nature. Mimi seems like a lovely lady and it's a shame she hasn't been in more productions. I hope she is happy and well. :)

[@thecaptainnoah]

She’s so pretty

[@SunBunz]

Cuckoo's Nest is free on KZbin. I was just thinking about how cute the actress who plays Nurse Pilbow was. lol She is a lovely woman, now! May Louise Fletcher rest in peace.

[@ginfrench3350]

My close friend Will Sampson (who played Chief) was also a first time actor and couldn't say enough about how nice and supportive everyone was. He also told me stories about how Jack Nicholson would crack everyone up between scenes...which seemed to help the actors deal with all the heavy emotional parts of the film.

[@Badkittys4]

Will Sampson was my absolute favorite character, I was in love with him

[@TheeRogerWayne]

Will is an amazing man Gin. I’m an actor myself in NYC, have guest star on a new show coming out for Showtime. If I could ever have the chance to speak with him would be awesome. I’d love a picture with him.

[@ginfrench3350]

@@TheeRogerWayne He was the best person I've ever known. I made a memorial video of him that has some of his childhood pictures in it..."Remembering Will Sonny Sampson Jr." I have pictures of he & I together but would never post them for the whole world to see...they are my personal memories.

This is fantastic. One of my favorite movies. Didn't expect to see this interview. Awesome!

[@stevenguegens9516]

I really liked nurse pilbo in one who flew over the cuckoo's nest and even NOW she's still the looks especialy with her pretty smile 💯 percent 👍😍

[@TTM9691]

Thank you for this wonderful interview! I was watching "Cuckoo's Nest" yesterday and as I was watching it I was thinking how I had never seen an interview with Nurse Pilbow. One day later, this popped up as a recommendation! How cool is that? Going to part 2 now. Thanks!

[@nylawoman]

Great to see her again.

[@TheKitchenerLeslie]

The way this was shot, most of the actors didn't know the camera was rolling, and it really shows. It adds to the realism.

[@screenwriterabdullahh.erak2778]

Thank you so much for interviewing her. This is a treasure of a video.

[@mjp96]

Brief, but fantastic scream!! Perfect.

[@Aaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh]

After watching the movie many times, I am watching it right now once again and paused the movie out of curiosity to see who this beautiful women is. I'm glad she's happy and well, she's part of a masterpiece that I'll show to my kids when I'm older ❤ It's just kinda sad she didn't go a path of taking part in more movies, but I guess she did what she understood what's best for her and her family. And after all, fame is a coin with two sides, sometimes one of the sides of the coin is just something that someone is not willing to face, so I respect that, everything has a cost (specially fame). It's unlikely she'll ever read this, but congratulations for the great performance in one of my favourite movies ever ❤

[@bigroy38]

Still beautiful!

[@richieT-t4f]

Quite simply, the best movie ever made.

[@Lex5576]

Mimi was adorable as Nurse Pilbow. She’s still a pretty lady. What an honor it must be to have even a small part in a film like this.

[@Januaryfriend]

This is such a wonderful interview. I enjoyed every minute of it!

[@soilmanted]

Mimi Sarkisian was just wonderful in One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest. She didn't have a lot of lines to speak but her facial expressions and her bodily positions spoke volumes. Especially wonderful was following her eyes as her eyes followed the things that were going on. The scene where she walks into the nurse's station and McMurphy has managed to get himself in there and Nurse Pilbow screams. So many emotions going on at the same time. The scene was hilarious in a frightening way, or frightening in a hilarious way. One of those. I couldn't keep my eyes off of Nurse Pilbow, even when she had little or nothing to say, watching her actions was spell-binding.

[@timlamb6196]

I always thought she was beautiful.

[@andrewjames09123]

Ya she was cute wasn't she

[@benrosn8154]

Wow, she is awesome and she is such a fantastic actress you could tell she is theater trained she seems so professional and real fantastic film

[@marc196050]

Although not a big role as a side kick, she had a presence that was noticeable. Maybe it’s the cute quiet girl that everyone boy had a crush on in school.

[@bekanimal]

I am a straight woman who just finally got around to watching the film at age 36 and I could barely take my eyes off of her in each scene she was in. Just drop dead naturally gorgeous.

[@SomethingSomethingg]

What a great find!!! Thank you!

[@kurtneumann3164]

Was 15 when this came out. I fell in love with her instantly. Hotti. She still is!

[@JuandeFucaU]

I remember she also played a nurse in The Right Stuff..... what I didn't know was that is her only other film credit..... what a shame..... I'd pay to see her again any day.

[@edfelstein3891]

I saw The Right Stuff back in '83 and remembered thinking that the nurse who calls Cooper, Grissom and Slayton into the testing room looked a lot like that cute nurse from Cuckoo's Nest. Well, whadyaknow!

[@513Lindaddy]

She's so cute.

[@rod9786]

I love this.

[@0428733]

This is the most information there is about her, still beatiful.

[@ravensbrood3544]

I'm surprised Mac didnt try to grab a hold of that cutie.🤔

[@aliensoup2420]

He was smart enough to know that would have been a life sentence for him. He did make a suggestive flirtation when he make the remark about being slipped salt-peter in his pills, then he thumped the wall in front of her. I think her character was affected by McMurphy's sexuality.

[@whamsie4022]

She’s too old for him.

[@andreschusan6086]

I loved her in OFOTCN and adore her today. Peace , love, happiness and much respect, me-lady. Interview was, solid... atta boy!

[@SomethingSomethingg]

Pilbow is an amazing example of saying so much without saying much of anything. Even just looking at pictures of her I can instantly see a young, wide-eyed naive Catholic girl who's shy and easily startled and is trying to prove herself as a nurse. She looks up to Fletcher (quite literally given her short stature) and is so brainwashed by the medical field that she's doing the right thing she never questions the evilness. Because of her obvious fragility, I would have loved to have seen what happened to her after she faints at the end. Is the suicide and the blood too traumatizing for her? Or does she stay on?

[@edwinthompson159]

Interesting - I atched the movie this week and was wondering about who played this part, and then found this interview. Very nice.

[@kenotube3160]

She interviews really well. That was interesting to watch.

[@natalinaconidi6313]

'Medicine Mr. Mc Murphy!' Iconic

[@mozfonky]

cute cute cute

[@keyboardwarria]

she was SO FINE with those white, almost translucent stockings in the movie. She's still beautiful

[@joeferguson2606]

whataver "it" is, she had lots of it

[@markhuismann9721]

I met Devito around 2006.

[@ragen4504]

What was he like?

[@buntsmoker8334]

small

[@darrellpasion8925]

I always wondered what happened to her.

[@nickeypetersen5622]

Missing mister tickle after so many years. Found out he was primarily a musician. But in various movies, he was funny... Poor guy in this movie. He was so nice... Also searching a older American native from previously, who also was funny and nice in some movies. Just don't have his name to search on. He occured in some western movies... But this one here is still the best and only after almost 50 years. Dear film makers, shame on you not to bring something up to this quality ever since.

[@sdkelmaruecan2907]

I wonder if her casting as a nurse in "The Rught Stuff" was a nod to "One Flew" or just a coincidence? At some point I thought she was a real nurse.

[@MegaSmarterthanyou]

I thought she was a babe in that movie

[@Christrulesall2]

Hot!

[@neaituppi7306]

That is what I didn't like about the theater, when I was part of a theater group. Now they would probably use body mics. But that you have to yell everything, which they call projecting.

[@danielbartley516]

She is fine indeed

[@stevencosnyka7698]

Beautiful still

[@mynyddyquartzite2034]

It’s a spiritual film aswel

[@Gerard_2024]

When I saw the film she was called "Nurse Ratched".

[@Cyba_IT]

Nurse Ratched was the head nurse in the movie played by Louise Fletcher (RIP). This is Mimi Sarkisian who played Nurse Ratched's assistant, Nurse Pilbow, in the movie.
