Ever since we saw Kathy Bates swing the hammer in Misery, she has had a special place in our hearts.
Therefore, the news I am about to tell you will make you sad. The actress told The New York Times that her upcoming series Matlock will be her last acting project.
“Everything I’ve prayed for, worked for, clawed my way up for, I am suddenly able to be asked to use all of it. And it’s exhausting,” the 76-year-old told the interviewer. “This is my last dance.”
So we must watch every episode of the legal procedural, which debuts on September 22nd; this way, she can never retire.
Something she might not have comtemplated had she not worked on an undisclosed movie that soured her to the entertainment industry. Matlock, which was pitched to her a few after that shoot, turned out to be the one project she felt was the perfect way for her to say goodbye to acting.
