Kathy Bates Says She Will Retire After CBS’ ‘Matlock’: “This Is My Last Dance”
After five decades in Hollywood, Oscar- and Emmy-winning actress Kathy Bates says she is ready to yell cut and retire, after CBS' 'Matlock.'
However, in January 2024, her agents sent her the script for the procedural, the premise of which — a reimagining on the classic legal TV drama, featuring a septuagenarian righting wrongs — intrigued the actress as a person who has faced injustice earlier in her career, she said. Bates is most known for her Academy Award-winning role as Annie Wilkes in 1990’s Misery, about a violent hermit who kidnaps a famous novelist. The remake of the late ’80s original (which starred Andy Griffith) follows a brilliant attorney’s return to a prestigious law firm after having achieved success in her younger years.
