    Part of Dolores Claiborne was filmed in my hometown in Nova Scotia 11:25 . I’ve lived a big ol life since and it’s still a thrill to see her express her love of NS that way. A lot of locals were bracing themselves for “Hollywood people” and we were all pleasantly surprised. Anyone who interacted with her had nothing but wonderful things to say.❤

    I understand that Ryan Murphy helped take Kathy's career to the next level, but the way he reacted to her forgetting to include him in her Emmy speech is a bit telling. If you watch, you can tell she's surprised and nervous. Jessica Lange has been a muse for Ryan for the past decade, and yet she's also mentioned they've had some falling outs along the way. I appreciate that he's helped revive the careers of some legendary actresses, but the way they feel so beholden to him feels strange to me.

      I feel like it would be a really, really good idea for me to buy a canvas, throw some paint on it and also write those words all over the artwork. What a fabulous doctor! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Kathy Bates is such an amazing actor, amazing woman. I’ve loved everything that she’s done that I been privileged enough to see. I hope she has many more years ahead of her! 👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻💕

      Another favorite....'Fried Green Tomatoes'.....I always remember her line in the parking lot when the girls said 'We're younger and faster'.......her response as she's running into their car 'I'm older and have better insurance.'

    She is one of my mom's favorite actresses and i completely understand why. Shes so versatile and naturally hilarious but overall just such a talented and kind human being.

    For someone who has intense role, she’s very calm. Her voice is soothing.

      So true, I would listen to *any* audiobook that she narrates… and I hope she’s done that already…!

      Maybe because it was a “TV MOVIE” but I do agree that movie was amazing

      I prefer her Hannigan over Carol’s...full stop. I know it’s a bit sacrilegious but I never did like the original film Annie.

    Not only a fantastic actress, but also a visionary: she's one of the first respected, Oscar-winning actresses that took the chance and worked for TV, now everybody's doing it!

    She deserved the Oscar for Misery. I was 15 when I watched her on TV accepting her Oscar.
    She well worked for her role. Great job. 😊 your like an Olympic athlete in acting on stage with theatre lights.
