On My Screen: Kathy Bates On ‘Matlock’, Memories Of ‘Misery’ & The Stranger Who Said ‘Dolores Claiborne’ Changed Their Life

“It speaks to my soul as a human being, and it gives me an opportunity to use everything I’ve learned over so many years.” Here, the actress recalls some of her favorite career memories, the part that got away, and the film that always makes her cry. How phenomenal would that be to put all of that experience on screen?” Both actresses I tremendously admire, and Anne Bancroft actually sent me a note after she saw Dolores Claiborne, and she said, “This is an Annie Award,” because she knew how important it was for me. I loved being on set with Kelly Fremon Craig, a wonderful director, and Jim Brooks was there, and Abby Ryder Fortson, a brilliant young actress.
