Even though the entire interview is about her career, notice that she spends almost the entire time complimenting others she works with. She has so much class.
I noticed the same thing. She's honestly one of of the only actresses I'd love to sit down and have a meal with. She had tremendous talent, but is so gracious.
Looks like she has lost a lot of weight. I know she had cancer and is a survivor. She is an AMAZING ACTRESS AND WOMAN!!!!! She looks WONDERFUL with her hair!!!! Much love to you, Kathy!!!!!❤❤❤❤❤
She had lost 60 lbs a few years ago and looked like Lily Tomlin and very much unlike herself. Now that she gained some weight back, she looks like she should.
why are we discussing her weight and looks? This a wonderful actress and yet we care more about how she looks, you don’t see this in any of the male actors 🙄
@@KateBates22zabu I loved you in Disjointed! Along with the other characters, that cast and the show itself. Will never forget when Dank and Dabby gave up pot for a few hours and were up on the roof making a 5-year financial plan., he he.
Kathy seems like such a humble woman and a great storyteller. She still seems like a little kid, all giddy about her craft and who she has worked with. It's very endearing.
If Bruce Jenner got to do this....just saying....he would have talked about himself/herself without drawing breath or thought of anyone else. Not once.
@@elfalether6725 Same with most narcissistic celebrities! The trifecta of late night hosts - Colbert, Kimmel and Fallon - would *love* the chance to just sit and talk about themselves for hours on end. Oh, add that repulsive James Corden to that list.
Creepiest thing, though... My great aunt looks, acts and sounds JUST LIKE HER. Like, in my entire 23 years of life, I've been joking about how she is my great aunt.
Wow! Ovarian cancer, breast cancer, and lymphedema. My mother has lymphedema and it can be very difficult to deal with and can make you feel debilitated. She is so powerful, not only on the screen, but in her own life too. Love this woman
Lymphedema is very hard to deal with and doctors don't offer much help. I'm glad to see Kathy Bates is drawing attention to it, hopefully there'll be more research and perhaps a cure. I hope your mother finds relief.
She shaved the sides & back of her head for AHS Apocalypse S8,& I think this might have been filmed shortly after, so it grew out a little. It does look gorgeous on her!
Being an actor/actress is a strange and wonderful gig/job. You never know if you will be liked in that specific role, you just give it all you have to give. Get paid, take a break, and go on to the next audition for the next role.
Yep, she just has the totally down to earth unawareness about her. Its exactly that, like she doesn't realize how famous she is. We need more performers like this.
I absolutely love people like this! Vanity is such a turn off and I just love how she really attributes her success to other people even though we all know she's amazing and has real talent on her own!
I think the movie was just so popular people resent it. Yeah the love story, the door and that song are all a bit much but it was just such a stunning technical achievement.
I remember when it came out and the phenomenon of its popularity. Film reviewers and columnists were all scratching their hands, trying to understand its immense popularity. And it wasn’t because of the hype that you get with all the superhero movies nowadays. People just loved it and went back again and again and again. It made people weep uncontrollably and they couldn’t get enough.
I just watched Misery again last night, and I'm reading the novel as of the time of this comment, and she is phenomenal. I loved it when she popped up as Joan Blondell in Feud: Bette & Joan.
I can’t believe you are friends with people who actually survived the titanic. They must be so happy they are alive and can tell you their survival stories. Amazing how human lives are so fragile.
I loved her when I was a kid watching fried green tomatoes, when I was a teen watching water boy, as an adult watching disjointed. She is such an inspiration to me.
For real, the talent on those shows are off the charts. I don’t know how he manages to cut some of them out for different seasons. I definitely think a lot of them will come up in interviews like this down the line
She is such a good actor. She has the ability to make you forget you're looking at Kathy Bates as she embodies the character she plays. Not a lot of people can do that. One of my all time favorite actors.
Kathy Bates is one of the greatest actors of our time. She makes you feel and believe in her characters. She definitely one of my favorites of all time.
The fact that Ryan Murphy was “very upset” that Kathy did not thank him after she won her award is such a red flag. Let her have her moment, he’s won plenty of awards for himself.
Yeah, that’s ridiculous. If you’re somebody as humble as Kathy Bates, you’re probably a bundle of nerves when accepting an award. Anyone with common sense and a normal ego would know it’s just an innocent oversight.
The fact that she thought of the hardworking crew before of him speaks volume of the great person Kathy Bates is. Love her in everything she does, she should be more in everything. She’s great
Eh...I mean, I would be kind of hurt too. But you should probably be able to hide it better at that level and understand it was a nervous oversight. But I can't hold it against someone for being a little sore at that. That's why people should have a speech written, just saying 🤷♀️
its crazy how versatile she is. one of the best actresses of our time. i was truly shocked to have watched her super intense, evil role as a villain on AHS, and then her chill, emotional role of a pothead bussiness woman and mother on disjointed. love love love her
Kathy Bates is as real and down to earth as it gets. She’s the type of person you could sit down and have a coffee with, and never run out of conversation.
"Finally really hit the big time." Millennial generation here, ummm you were since Misery, Titanic, and Water Boy... everything else is icing on the cake. You're as loved by our generation as Betty White. :)
Her role as Dolores Claiborne was another great performance. Loved her in “Misery“, too. And she has been great in pretty much all of the American Horror Story episodes that she’s been in.
Dolores Claiborne really made me sad, however she was exceptional in Misery. I have an idea for a horror i wish she would consider however because of her age i don't know whether she would fit it or not (i'm not a director but just came across a real life story which she might be perfect for).
Dolores Claiborne is one of those movies that when I ask someone if they’ve seen it and they say no, I feel bad for them because they’re really missing out on not only a great movie but also one of her best performances.
This lady is one of the kindest, most gracious, and most talented people in show business and I admire her so much for that. She looks absolutely beautiful in this video.

Not mentioned in this timeline was her performance in Six Feet Under which I just loved. Her inner--revolutionary and mischievous/wisewoman/girl was lovable & authentic. She's a good actor - and role model.
They to busy to had a TH-cam channel l think you had to see the interviews & the hashtags on fb twitter ig of her full fans half fans & haters lol on the social media
Omg i just found out that kathy bates was 42 when se did MISERY!!!!!! LIKE SHE GOT HER STARDOM AT 42!!!!!! AND SHE DIDN'T EVEN LOOK LIKE IT!!!!!!!! SHE'S A FREAKING LEGENG I LOVE HER
I think it was Evan Peters who said while filming AHS that it didn't look like she did anything special while filming, but then he was blown away to watch her on screen once it was completed. That she was an absolute master in her field. She's one of my all time favorite actors ❤!
Alfre Woodard said the same. She said she watches Bates in a really emotional scene once.. and the whole film crew were crying after her take. She said it was a testament to her craft.
I love how so many actors have this awe towards Michael Shannon. Kathy, Leo, and Kate are all fantastic actors and for them all to be so drawn in by Michael really says something.
I got to see him do a 45 min 2-man improv show several years ago in a small theater. At the time no one really knew who he was but the audience was mesmerized by him...
Poor Kathy. I don't think she'd feel nearly as guilty, this long, about forgetting Ryan Murphy if he hadn't thrown such a hissy fit. So glad to see other Kathy Bates lovers in these comments. She's definitely one of my favorites. Very talented, and I'm so glad to see that she seems like a genuinely kind person.
I feel like it would be a really, really good idea for me to buy a canvas, throw some paint on it and also write those words all over the artwork. What a fabulous doctor! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Kathy Bates is such an amazing actor, amazing woman. I’ve loved everything that she’s done that I been privileged enough to see. I hope she has many more years ahead of her! 👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻💕
Another favorite....'Fried Green Tomatoes'.....I always remember her line in the parking lot when the girls said 'We're younger and faster'.......her response as she's running into their car 'I'm older and have better insurance.'
Its refreshing. Most actors can be so shy when they talk and its just bizarre, she actually is so engaging. Another actor who shocked me by how engaging he is (similar to Kathy) is Jude Law.
I've watched Misery many times and each time her performance never fails to terrify me like I'm seeing it for the first time!!! BRILLIANT actor! One of the best!
Cerys Gibson Oh my god I just got into Stephen King and I checked Netflix for it and it wasn’t there. I think they removed it not too long ago since you posted this 3 months ago. Too bad I can’t watch it :(
Kathy is one of those exceptionally talented performers, but has remained extremely humble through it all. She is somebody that hasn't gone all 'Hollywood'.
She’s great in psychological thrillers as well as in comedy, drama, whatever. She’s definitely one of the best actress in the world!!! Also, she seems to be such a good person. So humble.
Even though the entire interview is about her career, notice that she spends almost the entire time complimenting others she works with. She has so much class.
I hung on every word she said, what a great interview. She is someone to look up to without a doubt, not just in terms of mastery of her craft but shining personality and mindset.
I love Kathy Bates-one of my buddies works on the set of American Horror Story, with costumes, and she says Kathy is great in real life, too-very cool. Would love to meet her.
Kathy Bates can do any character, at anytime. I found her when she first started working with Stephen King. Since, if she is in the movie, i watch it. She knows how to pick her roles. She is an absolute American Treasure. Luv ya Kathy!
She looks so chic now and these flashbacks make me realize how underrated her beauty is on top of being a down to earth person and timeless, excellent actor
Kathy Bates is one of those actresses that I kind of forget she’s my favorite, but she’s straight up one of my faves. She’s versatile and plays her roles so freakin well. She captivates you in the story, regardless of genre. And after watching this interview, she’s so classic, talking up other actors and actresses.
An incredible actress, and someone I have never heard a bad word about. She's had a tough time with her health over the years, so it's great to see her doing so well.
I skipped over this in my recommendations dozens of times and now I kick myself. This is the best VF video I've seen. I wasn't aware that I loved Kathy Bates so much, but she is absolutely wonderful. She spends 90% of her time talking about how wonderful other people are and seems so down to earth. This one really lifted my spirits. What a classy lady.
She's so underrated. This women is not only an amazing actress but I believe she surpasses Meryl Streep. DISCLAIMER: I love Meryl Streep. The Devil wears Prada I'm obsessed with her in that movie.
I’m kinda shocked that her role in “About Schmidt” (2002) with Jack Nicholson wasn’t on here. Her nude scene was hysterically funny & her comedic timing was perfection. It was a movie that deserved a mention. Kathy is one of my favorite modern day actresses; so talented and diverse.
Kathy Bates has this genuine honesty I find so endearing. She’s so smart and an amazing actress I could watch in just about any movie. What’s more, she is aging beautifully and naturally with grace and dignity, something that is so much more respectable than the Hollyweirdos who OD on plastic surgery.
Kathy is such a fascinating person. She still has such a sparkle in her eyes about what she does and the people she’s met that have influenced her. She’s still so humble yet confident in this. Her voice is just like a lullaby but she can switch to a madwoman on command. Such a legend and an amazing person.
A true role model and inspiration, Bates has something seldom seen in other actors. She's incredible! Her talent, devotion, and humility are all perfectly balanced to make such a wonderful person.
Even though the entire interview is about her career, notice that she spends almost the entire time complimenting others she works with. She has so much class.
true
She is the queen of acting to me. Grew up with Fried Green Tomatoes as my moms and I's favorite movie to watch together❤
I have watched a few of these as well and noticed the same thing. She is a women of grace and love.
I noticed the same thing. She's honestly one of of the only actresses I'd love to sit down and have a meal with. She had tremendous talent, but is so gracious.
Yaaas! She's such a classy woman and her gratitude is like a fresh of breath air versus the entitlement many have nowadays.
I never realised she battled cancer twice, she truly is an incredible person & actress
neither did I, it must've taken so much and she's still up on screen giving fantastic performances
Cancer didn't stand a chance against her.
and she looks great after her weight loss
Liz Calas before and after bruh
@@Shane-Singleton the cancer also took a part in her weight loss . Thankfully, she is cancer free
AHS enabled her to be known to a new generation. Glad she grabbed that opportunity.
Yes her and Jessica Lange!
And hopefully theyll go back to her earlier stuff and see and be like “wow shes a superbeast of an actress.”
she literally had me bawling doing Freakshow
Indeed
yes i am so glad i found her through it!!
This is the best I’ve ever seen her look. She is the definition of “aging gracefully”. Great actress too.
I was just thinking the same thing! She is so cute, not to mention incredibly kind and talented!
@@amandajenkins2267 thank you
Looks like she has lost a lot of weight. I know she had cancer and is a survivor. She is an AMAZING ACTRESS AND WOMAN!!!!! She looks WONDERFUL with her hair!!!! Much love to you, Kathy!!!!!❤❤❤❤❤
She had lost 60 lbs a few years ago and looked like Lily Tomlin and very much unlike herself.
Now that she gained some weight back, she looks like she should.
why are we discussing her weight and looks? This a wonderful actress and yet we care more about how she looks, you don’t see this in any of the male actors 🙄
Notice how she is constantly praising the people around her not herself - truly shows her humility
Or, you know, her acting ability!
So very true!
Keanu does that a lot too!!!
And her self confidence and professionalism. One might add backbone to that list.
John Howley her self confidence!
Kathy Bates has range. She can do comedy and drama and everything in between.
Seriously. That's when you can tell when someone is a true artist.
Ain't that the absolute truth! A legend among women in Hollywood.
Preach!
She was great in six feet under too
I think she does a lot of in between
Twenty-three minutes of Kathy Bates praising other actors, directors, and more. She really glows, in all ways.

She's probably one of the few actors that looks better as herself than her characters and at this age.
This hairstyles really suites her.
I totally agree! She looks amazing!
agreed. loving her style lately.
She shaved the sides & back of her head for AHS Apocalypse S8,& I think this might have been filmed shortly after, so it grew out a little. It does look gorgeous on her!
She's so humble, as if she doesn't know she is an absolute legend.
Being an actor/actress is a strange and wonderful gig/job. You never know if you will be liked in that specific role, you just give it all you have to give. Get paid, take a break, and go on to the next audition for the next role.
Yep, she just has the totally down to earth unawareness about her. Its exactly that, like she doesn't realize how famous she is. We need more performers like this.
She's such an inspiration, talking about her third act, brilliant actress!
She actually seems to appreciate the craft unlike some of the younger hollywood actor/actresses today.
I absolutely love people like this! Vanity is such a turn off and I just love how she really attributes her success to other people even though we all know she's amazing and has real talent on her own!

Isn't that the truth? Struck a chord with me too!
Such a breath of fresh air. So many accomplished actors can be narcissistic divas, but Bates exudes gratitude and humility.
Exactly
I'm so sad that she went through a dark time like that where she had health issues and things to overcome. I'm SO happy she pulled through!
Same!
I can see how a character like madame lalaurie on AHS helped her.
She looks like a cool grandma. She looks really gorgeous here

it's no joke, i've been listening to this interview when i go to sleep at night. it's such calming to listen to her.

Bless you
THANK YOU
Not mentioned in this timeline was her performance in Six Feet Under which I just loved. Her inner--revolutionary and mischievous/wisewoman/girl was lovable & authentic. She's a good actor - and role model.
6 feet under was a great show and she was a hoot
Yes! Love six feet under & her role in it
I’ll watch anything she’s in. Even if it’s crap, she NEVER is.
Carissa Mcdonald 😉
You can just say The Waterboy if you'd like :)
SOOOOOO TRUE
Mango T me too. And Cate Blanchett.
I would agree with you, but she was in North playing an eskimo with a wig and fake make up.
But I like to pretend that that movie doesn't exist.
One of the best actress ever
Ms. Kathy Bates _needs_ her own TH-cam channel.
She can smoke a bowl & chat about her incredible life she's living!! 🤗🌼
I totally agree.. a formidable force on screen. One of the greats
Tottaly agree.. Incredible actress.
They to busy to had a TH-cam channel l think you had to see the interviews & the hashtags on fb twitter ig of her full fans half fans & haters lol on the social media
Absolutely she is. I love her!
I've always like Kathy Bates but after seeing this interview I like her a whole lot more. She seems like a really good person.
I legit just commented this sams exact thing! Haha.
Her role as Ms. Hannigan in Annie (1999) will forever be one of my favorites. That movie was such a great part of my childhood. ♥
Now I have to go watch that. “I’ll admit no man has bit, so how come I’m the mother of the head?” 😂
I loved how differently she played her compared to Carol Burnett.
why do i feel like i need to cry every time she finishes a story? can i hug her
She seems like she's hurt or in pain it's sad i love her.
She had cancer
I will always love her for playing the only likable rich person in Titanic.
seriall1337 Mr. Andrews was also rich and likeable.
Yes!! And Mr.Andrew
@@disinfectingwipes True
The character was based off of a real person :)
Omygoshhh yess
Her performance in 'Misery' is ICONIC!
Rain Heird Loved her in “Fried Green Tomatoes” too!
Misery was the best... Omg when she broke his legs... I still hear her telling the story of the diamond mines...
@@whitealliance9540 Absolutely, when she hobbled him with that sledgehammer 😬 still one of the most gruesome scenes in cinema.
Most definitely!
For an actor to be as well-rounded in his talented as she is, her humble demeanor and unwavering gratefulness is such an amazing thing to see
Omg i just found out that kathy bates was 42 when se did MISERY!!!!!! LIKE SHE GOT HER STARDOM AT 42!!!!!! AND SHE DIDN'T EVEN LOOK LIKE IT!!!!!!!! SHE'S A FREAKING LEGENG I LOVE HER
Wow omg 😳 42???!!
Omg that’s crazy! I thought she was much much younger holy crap!
Alan Rickman didn't star on tv untill he was 42 aswell
Misery was a defining moment for her and it was followed up with Fried Green Tomatoes in 1991 which really solidified her stardom.
Wow!!! Good for her!!!
I think it was Evan Peters who said while filming AHS that it didn't look like she did anything special while filming, but then he was blown away to watch her on screen once it was completed. That she was an absolute master in her field. She's one of my all time favorite actors ❤!
Catherine G, yup I’ve seen or read that interview.
Alfre Woodard said the same. She said she watches Bates in a really emotional scene once.. and the whole film crew were crying after her take. She said it was a testament to her craft.
She’s a legend and one of the greatest actresses in the entire world
@@toricooper2524 Agreed!
@@beth2398 How you doing gorgeous, I'm sorry for infringing on your nice comment and beautiful profile. do you mind friendship?
"He's 89 and he's so damn sexy" - Lana's next single
🤣🤣🤣
STOP 😂😂
Lmfaooo
I- you know what you’re not wrong
yall play TOO much
Always love her and have never been disappointed with her on screen. She has so much to be proud of.
Seriously, I see Kathy Bates, I click. She's a national treasure!
She’s awe inspiring!
I love how so many actors have this awe towards Michael Shannon. Kathy, Leo, and Kate are all fantastic actors and for them all to be so drawn in by Michael really says something.
BrokenGod Ent. Hard to believe he’s the newlywed who screams “WRESTLEMANIA!” near the end of Groundhog Day.
I got to see him do a 45 min 2-man improv show several years ago in a small theater. At the time no one really knew who he was but the audience was mesmerized by him...
And Jamie Lee Curtis
Even when she played a sadistic racist in AHS I couldn’t hate her 😂😂
Inami that is a gift of a true actor
Right 🙃
Lmao for real
Spolier Alert😂🥴
Inami exactly and I’m black 😭
Poor Kathy. I don't think she'd feel nearly as guilty, this long, about forgetting Ryan Murphy if he hadn't thrown such a hissy fit.
So glad to see other Kathy Bates lovers in these comments. She's definitely one of my favorites. Very talented, and I'm so glad to see that she seems like a genuinely kind person.
“Darling, that’s all in the past. Now you will have a glass of champagne and you will begin the rest of your life.” ❤️
That's a wonderful thing to say to someone, really, in the right place and the right Time.
💙💙💙💙
Yeah such great advice. Yeah I had a great doctor like that they come around only once in a lifetime!
I feel like it would be a really, really good idea for me to buy a canvas, throw some paint on it and also write those words all over the artwork. What a fabulous doctor! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Kathy Bates is such an amazing actor, amazing woman. I’ve loved everything that she’s done that I been privileged enough to see. I hope she has many more years ahead of her! 👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻💕
Another favorite....'Fried Green Tomatoes'.....I always remember her line in the parking lot when the girls said 'We're younger and faster'.......her response as she's running into their car 'I'm older and have better insurance.'
She's so fluid and sure of herself when she speaks. It's kinda enthralling to just hear her talk.
Such confidence. Well at the end of the day she's a lez that comes to them naturally which is very admirable
@@69op2gg1005ify0m Uh no she isn't.
Its refreshing. Most actors can be so shy when they talk and its just bizarre, she actually is so engaging. Another actor who shocked me by how engaging he is (similar to Kathy) is Jude Law.
She always played roles with a lot of personnality and character. I like her play. She is way natural, authentic and straight.
The fact she had a crush with the operator in Misery made me laugh like crazy 🤣🤣🤣 love her and her stories
Off I go to imdb to see if I can figure out who she's talking about
This woman should be countlessly more celebrated than she already is.
I love how she explained acting as "dress play" what we used to do when we were still kids. So simple but makes sooo much sense!
I've watched Misery many times and each time her performance never fails to terrify me like I'm seeing it for the first time!!! BRILLIANT actor! One of the best!
Kathy is one of those women that just looks better with age, tbh.
Exactly!
Ikr
Her skin is amazing, lucky woman.
i could play the make-up card but i don't want to ruin it. i love her and she looks really gorgeous for her age :3
She's like a fine wine and I'm here for it
“Can I call my mother?” Best thing ever.😂💕
I just watched “Misery” and it is such a good film, it’s on Netflix for those who want to watch it
Cerys Gibson Oh my god I just got into Stephen King and I checked Netflix for it and it wasn’t there. I think they removed it not too long ago since you posted this 3 months ago. Too bad I can’t watch it :(
Misery and green fried tomatoes you have to watch them
Masterpieces
It’s one of my favorites
@@dzumai its still there
I loved Misery...but she's great in anything
Dolores Claiborne was amazing! She deserved an Oscar for that performance. One of my favorite movies 🎬
Mine too.
I love Kathy Bates. She’s the light and heart of every film in which she appears.
I'll double that. 🙌🌚
Kathy is one of those exceptionally talented performers, but has remained extremely humble through it all. She is somebody that hasn't gone all 'Hollywood'.
I would love to see Betty White break down her career.
Annie Romero who?
Yes, but without profanity.
Denise Eggert why not tho
that will be a 2 hour video.
She would need two days 😂
She’s great in psychological thrillers as well as in comedy, drama, whatever. She’s definitely one of the best actress in the world!!!
Also, she seems to be such a good person. So humble.
Even though the entire interview is about her career, notice that she spends almost the entire time complimenting others she works with. She has so much class.
I hung on every word she said, what a great interview. She is someone to look up to without a doubt, not just in terms of mastery of her craft but shining personality and mindset.
God she was the absolute best in Misery. That was my first ever exposure to her. What a gorgeous class act.
How can 374 people dislike this?
Well it has 77k likes which works out to 0.0048 % dislikes , I would call that a pretty good ratio .
They have mental retardation
She’s a legend. I hope they give her flowers while she’s still here.
I love Kathy Bates-one of my buddies works on the set of American Horror Story, with costumes, and she says Kathy is great in real life, too-very cool. Would love to meet her.
Jeanette Gallagher your... she.. works... on... Thats so cool.
Jeanette Gallagher your friend has my dream job
Very cool.
Kathy Bates can do any character, at anytime. I found her when she first started working with Stephen King. Since, if she is in the movie, i watch it. She knows how to pick her roles. She is an absolute American Treasure. Luv ya Kathy!
She looks so chic now and these flashbacks make me realize how underrated her beauty is on top of being a down to earth person and timeless, excellent actor
Kathy Bates is one of those actresses that I kind of forget she’s my favorite, but she’s straight up one of my faves. She’s versatile and plays her roles so freakin well. She captivates you in the story, regardless of genre. And after watching this interview, she’s so classic, talking up other actors and actresses.
An incredible actress, and someone I have never heard a bad word about. She's had a tough time with her health over the years, so it's great to see her doing so well.
she seems like an incredibly genuine and great human being! So much talent
She is just lovely. Listening to her talk was so heartwarming. What a lovely woman.
I skipped over this in my recommendations dozens of times and now I kick myself. This is the best VF video I've seen. I wasn't aware that I loved Kathy Bates so much, but she is absolutely wonderful. She spends 90% of her time talking about how wonderful other people are and seems so down to earth. This one really lifted my spirits. What a classy lady.
She's so underrated. This women is not only an amazing actress but I believe she surpasses Meryl Streep. DISCLAIMER: I love Meryl Streep. The Devil wears Prada I'm obsessed with her in that movie.
@@altar_girl A lot of actresses are much better than Streep.
Do we really have to compare them? Can’t we just enjoy both?
Literally one of my favorite actresses ever. Such an immaculate talent. Like, once in a lifetime range. And just a beautiful person inside and out.
I’m kinda shocked that her role in “About Schmidt” (2002) with Jack Nicholson wasn’t on here. Her nude scene was hysterically funny & her comedic timing was perfection. It was a movie that deserved a mention. Kathy is one of my favorite modern day actresses; so talented and diverse.
I never heard of it! I’m gonna watch it!
Yes. I thought the same. About Schmidt was great. Her performance as the eccentric mother was convincing and fun to watch.
thanks for the recommendation!
Kathy Bates has this genuine honesty I find so endearing. She’s so smart and an amazing actress I could watch in just about any movie. What’s more, she is aging beautifully and naturally with grace and dignity, something that is so much more respectable than the Hollyweirdos who OD on plastic surgery.
Kathy is such a fascinating person. She still has such a sparkle in her eyes about what she does and the people she’s met that have influenced her. She’s still so humble yet confident in this. Her voice is just like a lullaby but she can switch to a madwoman on command. Such a legend and an amazing person.
A true role model and inspiration, Bates has something seldom seen in other actors. She's incredible! Her talent, devotion, and humility are all perfectly balanced to make such a wonderful person.
Fried Green Tomatoes. So underrated.
I know I love that movie
agreed!!!
Olivia Biggs yes thank you!!!
So underrated!
Agreed, my mum loves that film 🥺
