Kathy Bates’ ‘Misery’ Film ‘Scared’ Off Men and She Couldn’t Get Dates: ‘No Invitations From Suitors’


Kathy Bates' performance in 1990's Misery was so convincing, it 'scared the crap out of men' an insider exclusively tells Closer of the actress' dating life.

The 76-year-old Matlock actress says she never had trouble getting a date until she filmed the terrifying adaptation of the Stephen King novel, in which she cruelly mangles costar James Caan’s legs in one of cinema’s most disturbing scenes! In 1997, when Bates divorced Tony Campisi, her companion of 20 years, she was on top of the acting world with an Academy Award on her mantel and multiple hit films — but the phone shockingly never rang. “So she couldn’t understand why she received NO invitations from suitors.” And when she asked one of her male friends why she was suddenly chopped liver — he gave her a scary response.
