Kathy Bates is ending her playing career. She says she has one more TV show left in her, even though she almost didn’t make it. She talked about the end of her career in an interview with.
the New York Times. She said that her new part on “Matlock,” in which she plays an older version of the same character from the 1980s soap, is her last one.
According to Bates, she was thinking about quitting acting and told her director she was done after a bad experience on a movie set. She wouldn’t say which one.
Then she says the story for “Matlock” came in, and she fell in love with the character right away because she had been through a lot of bad things in her life and work.
