Bates has now emphasised, however, that she isn’t finished acting yet. In October, she told PEOPLE,
“I think people got confused and thought I was going to retire.” “How can it get any better?” was what I meant. It would be wonderful if this continued.
She also mentioned landing the “Matlock” role. “I think maybe I want to go into, if not retirement, semi-retirement,”
I recall telling my agents over the phone. I may sell my home and go to New York if I am unable to maintain it. Then this occurred. It seemed unbelievable to me.
With a gender-flipped main character, the new “Matlock” is based on the classic series starring Andy Griffith. Season 2 of the program has already been renewed.
