The actor who played the live Charles Lee Ray as well as provided the voice of Chucky in all the Child's Play/Chucky movies is man named Brad Douriff. I just found out that one of his first acting roles was in the 1975 movie One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest. He played Billy Bibbit, probably best known as the young inmate who kills himself Quote Disable Sigs

We had to watch One flew over the cuckoo's nest in high school. with all the different appearances of actors who became big names in their own right. I didn't realize that one of them was Chucky.

It's quite fascinating and the doll itself is in a museum in Key West. I saw that it's possible Chucky was inspired from that story. I'm not sure if it's true, but i'd not be surprised.

I always compared it to Magic (even though the dummy in that film is not actually sentient). You could even go back to the old Twilight Zone episode "Living Doll" for such inspiration.
