Kathy Bates Reveals Why She Feels ‘Really Lucky’ to Star on Upcoming TV Series ‘Matlock’


Kathy Bates is returning to fans’ TV screens in the upcoming series Matlock and the actress exclusively tells Closer why she’s ‘lucky’ to lead the show.

“The complexity of the role and the writing — I mean, I pinch myself every day,” Kathy, who talked about the show at the Television Critics Association Summer Press Tour, exclusively tells Closer. While Kathy, 76, admits, “I’ve been a huge fan, just as an actor, of Andy Griffith,” her series diverges from the one the Mayberry sheriff made famous. Matty returns to the prestigious law firm where she spent her youth to work with Olympia (Skye P. Marshall), a senior attorney.
