When I see Kathy Bates is in a movie, I have to watch.

Been a fan of this lady for a long time. She always delivers a strong performance. Even if her role is smaller, you still remember it because of her.

Delores Claiborne was her best movie ever 🙌

She has been one of my favorite actresses ! The new 'Matlock' show is great, was totally unprepared for the ending :)

I loved her in The Office! She's a wonderful actress. My husband and I just watched the Premier of Matlock tonight and loved it! I wish they would show all the series on YouTube.

I just finished watching the first episode of Kathy Bates in the NEW Matlick series on Paramount Plus and like ANYTHING she touches, it turns to GOLD.

Thank you, Mrs. Bates for PERFECTING the ART OF ACTING! 🎨 🏆❤️🏅🎉

YOU, my dear, Kathy Bates, are like a Breath of Fresh Air!

I relate to Matty Matlock, because many times I have felt "invisible". But, know that I sm older, I see it as an advantage, like Matty does, and people DON'T see us coming!

You are loved and appreciated, and we SEE YOU.💜🙏🤗😘

I love you Kathy...
Met you in Chicago... Walked across the bridge and ran into you... At a fliming i worked on... I worked Kraft cart that night...
I said to you... Wow i can't believe im seeing you! You said it back to me... We actually hugged... And everyone i worked with freaked out.... mouths opened in surprise..,
When i returned from collecting coffee cups...They asked if i knew you...
I shrugged and said no... You are a beautiful woman. And much LOVED.
I love your new show... Thank you....❤❤❤❤
Congratulations....
I hope some day you remember. It touched my heart....
My BF at the time eventually worked on the Trump building.... But he couldn't tell ME.... Glad he didn't.😮

Kathy Bates, please don't ever quit acting. You are absolutely incomparable. If you're in a film or tv show, I have to watch. You are special, downright irreplaceable!

10/15/24: We in the Memphis area love our hometown girl! Graduate of White Station High School, Kathy credits her late drama teacher, Gene Crain, with inspiring her to pursue her chosen career. We’re thrilled about the new Matlock series! We really enjoyed your “Sunday Morning” interview! Come back to see us, Kathy, when you get a chance!

Oooo! Kathy! Don't leave us hanging bestie!!!! 😭😭😭

[lruss]

This new role is a real winner! She is just outstanding as Matty Matlock!❤❤❤

She could be talking about "Frankie and Johnnie". I think she did the stage version, and when they chose michelle Pfeiffer for the film role, she couldnt believe it.

She's my favorite actress. I don't think she understands just how huge her fan base is, either. "Towanda!"
