Sure we all know Billy Bibbit from 1975's One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest was young, but what about something more specific? How old was Billy in this movie?



Best Answer

I am pulling this information from a couple of different sources:

First - Billy is stated to be 4 years younger than McMurphy in this Cliff Notes link.

Second - Randle McMurphy's age at time of death (Smothered by the Chief) was 38. Birth/death given as April 22, 1925 – December 11, 1963, according to the wiki for the character.

That would put Billy's age at 34, which fits with the rest of the information in the story.
