Kathy Bates: 'This is my third act' | AP interview

[@alisonmayrhofer3039]

Nothing but love and respect for Kathy Bates!❤️🇨🇦

[@Zenobiadream]

One of the greatest actresses ever. We love you Kathy Bates ❤

[@poppylove3673]

Love Kathy Bates as an actress and doesn’t she look wonderful! Looking forward seeing this film? 🎥 ❤👍🏽

[@RebelBuddha1971]

Long time fan of Kathy Bates. I’ve never seen her look so absolutely stunning …at 76, yet! She looks at least 15 years younger. Please Kathy, from myself and your millions of other fans: KEEP ACTING! You’re one of the greats!

[@debbralehrman5957]

Agreed🌹

[@elizabeth5985]

She is a national treasure and I can't wait to watch this show! I want to add: any time I see that Kathy Bates is in something, even as a supporting character, I watch it. That is how much I love her.

[@bonnie448]

I watched the debut last night she was fabulous!

[@Mawmawjade53]

I agree completely 🙂

[@dee_dee_place]

I do the same thing. If I see Kathy Bates listed as a performer in a project, I watch it. She always steals the scene.

[@seraphale]

Exactly. I'll watch anything that she's in, no further information needed. It's so insane that she has trouble getting roles that interest her because she's a sure bet! That just shows that the industry is upside down, and that the people holding the purse strings aren't necessarily art lovers themselves, because if you want to talk about an immersive experience, she's your girl.💙

[@judydubiel]

I’m the same

[@IggyKhvan]

Her grace, generosity and light are so special. Thank you, Kathy Bates, for your craft

[@SharonCarbine]

Kathy, you are beautiful - inside and out, and you look younger than you are. I loved the first episode of your new TV show, "Matlock." BRAVO!

[@DavidHalChester]

Kathy Bates is the real deal. What a gift she is to the industry.

[@singinpoet]

I’ve loved her since I was a kid and my mom showed me ‘Fried Green Tomatoes’. She’s been one of my favorite actresses for years. As a Lymphedema patient, I deeply appreciate her advocacy for this rare chronic illness. The first time I saw her advocating for Lymphedema on Chelsie, I SOBBED. It meant so much to me. It was the first time I’d ever seen anyone other than my Lymphedema specialist talk about it. I felt so SEEN. Thanks, Kathy.

You are awesome Kathy. I am 51 and in the 20 year stretch into my third act. While we all die, you Kathy will be memorialized forever. We love you!!

[@AVERYCK77]

She is so sweet and irradiates so much innocence, clarity, and honesty. And I personally do believe she is as talented and gifted as Meryl Streep

[@sherries7962]

I adore Kathy and so happy she is returning to tv.

[@Makeitmakesensejo]

Just watched and I love it. She's so natural. A much welcomed TV show.

[@nicblueberry6360]

I can’t help but feel emotional hearing Kathy talk about some of the challenges and struggles she’s faced these past few years. She’s such a wonderful performer and has brought so much joy and happiness to us through the years.

[@thomasdahl2232]

[@CHDean]

Not a “Dame”

[@susancumming7099]

Kathy, I was surprised to hear you say you weren't one of the beautiful actresses. I have Always thought you were and still are absolutely beautiful. And...The Most Gifted Actress in Hollywood.

[@jude1515]

I agree.

[@bfjkenwood5981]

Fried Green Tomatoes - a wonderful book and a wonderful movie with a wonderful actress. Brava for her intelligence and artistry.

[@coastalseasider4634]

I so look forward to Matty Matlock. *ANYTHING* Kathy is in, is all I need to know that I'll want to see it. I hold her in the highest regard & hope everything is the way she wants it to be. Kathy's a gift...a lovely gift, inside & out.

[@wendimorgan73]

I loved Harrys Law. So so sad when it went off. She was wonderful. Is wonderful!

[@hithere1590]

Watched the first episode of Matlock and I loved it.

[@jabjab4434]

I will and have watched all Kathy Bates work. She is a true gift. Im excited shes back weekly on television.

[@track1949]

More people should have seen her in Dolores Claiborne. What fabulous performance.

[@Mickju]

That was one of her best. I have a copy and still re-watch it fairly often. She is extraordinary.

[@jude1515]

She was awesome in that movie.

[@Emperorcalebtine]

That is one of my favorite movies. It’s one of the best films ever made, imo.

[@marikam3161]

Although a dark movie came out shining!!! I love her in all her movies. An incredible actress ❤

[@terrilikens4975]

Thank you, Kathy Bates, for the intelligence and intensity you bring to your work, and to your advocacy. I, too, have lymphedema because of cancer treatment and I appreciate most personally what you do. I also love your acting.

[@xaroraxaro]

So interesting to hear her speak so honestly about her life as an artist in the industry…

Yeah. Whoever called them the "golden years" was making a joke. She is one of my favorite actors. As far as I am concerned she is a pro. If a movie has her in it, I'll watch it.

Oh my gosh she looks so great, she's aging so gracefully! I literally have watched *Fried Green Tomatoes* at least 50 times

[@rj-zz8im]

I couldn't love and respect her more. She is so unpretentious and warm. One of the best actors of all time.

[@PyewacketCharmer-w6m]

I watched the first episode, and now I’m hooked. Kathy is such a wonderful actress. I especially loved her in MISERY. Anyway, MATLOCK is so well written. The characters are fantastic, and the ending was totally unexpected. Can’t wait for episode 2.
