Louisa Moritz (September 25, 1936[3] – January 4, 2019)[4] was a Cuban-American actress and lawyer. After arriving in New York from Cuba, she earned a law degree and became a film and television actress. She is best known for her roles in One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest with Jack Nicholson and the television show Love, American Style.

Early life

Luisa Cira Castro Netto was born in Havana,[5][6] where she worked as an accountant. Due to the political upheaval of the late 1950s she left Cuba and moved to New York, arriving on July 15, 1960, aged 23. She would later shave ten years off her true age, adopting 1946 as her year of birth.[7][8] She adopted the last name Moritz after seeing the Hotel St. Moritz in New York City and to avoid association with Fidel Castro, to whom she was distantly related.[4][9]

Professional life

Unable to speak English when she first moved to the United States,[9] Moritz studied law at the University of West Los Angeles[6] and Abraham Lincoln University.[13] She was at the top of her class[4] and according to her publicist won the American Jurisprudence Bancroft Whitney Prize for Contracts.[8]

On June 25, 2015, she was suspended from the California State Bar. On October 1, 2017, Moritz was disbarred for failure to respond to contact attempts from the California State Bar.[10][11] She also invested in real estate, owning a hotel in Beverly Hills that she renamed the Beverly Hills St. Moritz,[6][8] and produced self-defense programs for TV.[8]

Her acting career began in the 1960s with commercials;[6] her first film was The Man from O.R.G.Y. in 1970, in the lead role of the prostitute Carmela.[4][6] She generally played ditzy blondes, appearing in numerous films of which the best known was One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest in 1975 as the prostitute Rose, and in TV shows including Happy Days, M*A*S*H, and Love, American Style, where she was a regular.[4]

Death

After being injured in a fall during a visit to Washington, D.C.,[12] Moritz died in a hospice in Los Angeles, aged 82, on January 4, 2019; of natural causes.[4][13]

Accusations against Bill Cosby

{{main|Bill Cosby sexual assault allegations}}

In November 2014, Moritz became one of the first women to accuse Bill Cosby, claiming Cosby sexually assaulted her in the green room for the The Tonight Show in 1971.[6][14][15][16] After Cosby accused her of lying, she sued him for defamation; her lawyer planned to continue the lawsuit after her death.[9][12]
