It's the swearing, Paul. It has no nobility. (Everybody talks like that. Annie) THEY DO NOT! At the feedstore do I say "Oh, now Wally, give me a bag of that F-in' pig feed, and a pound of that bitchly cow corn?" At the bank do I say, "Oh, Mrs. Malenger, here is one big bastard of a check, now give me some of your Christ-ing money!" There. look there, now see what you made me do! |

Paul, do you know about the early days of the Kimberly Diamond mines? Do you know what they did to the native workers who stole diamonds? Don't worry, they didn't kill them, that would be like junking your Mercedes just because it has a broken spring. No, if they caught them, they had to make sure they could go on working, but they also had to make sure they could never run away. The operation was called Hobbling. |

Kathy Bates is an Academy Award-winning actress who first earned her considerable reputation in the theatre. An Obie Award winner for her performance as Frankie in the original Off-Broadway production of Frankie and Johnny in the Clair de Lune, Bates also received the Los Angeles Drama Critics Award for Best Actress in the Mark Taper Forum production of the play. On Broadway, she received a Tony Award nomination for her portrayal of the suicidal daughter in Marsha Norman's Pulitzer Prize-winning ‘night Mother, and the Dramalogue Award. Born in Memphis, Tennessee, Bates graduated from Southern Methodist University in Dallas and worked in regional theatre in Washington, D.C. and at The Actors Theatre of Louisville. Her first major play in New York was Vanities; she subsequently appeared in an impressive lineup of productions, including Come Back to the Five and Dime, Jimmy Dean, Jimmy Dean (a role she reprised in Robert Altman's film adaptation), Fifth of July and Curse of the Starving Class (another role she reprised for film). She also starred as South African schoolteacher Elsa Barlow in the Off-Broadway production of The Road to Mecca, playing opposite the author, Athol Fugard, (and starred in the film version as well). |

Revenge can be very sweet: The role of the plain, dumpy waitress in the play "Frankie and Johnny in the Clair de Lune" was written specifically for this pleasantly plain-looking, slightly dumpy actress, who played it to perfection. But when it came time to do the movie, Bates was passed over for the glamorous Michelle Pfeiffer. So, instead, she played the psychotic nurse in Misery (1990) and won a Best Actress Oscar, while Frankie and Johnny crashed and burned at the box office. Though primarily a stage actress, Bates has made film appearances since the 1970s, with small roles in such pictures as Straight Time (1978), Come Back to the Five and Dime, Jimmy Dean, Jimmy Dean (1982), Summer Heat (1987), Arthur 2: On the Rocks (1988), Men Don't Leave, Dick Tracy and White Palace (all 1990). In 1991 she snagged two plum roles: that of the fanatical Christian fundamentalist stuck in the Amazon in At Play in the Fields of the Lord and the downtrodden Southern housewife who enjoys a special relationship with an older woman (Jessica Tandy) in Fried Green Tomatoes In 1992 she joined Tandy again, along with superstars Shirley MacLaine and Marcello Mastroianni, in Used People Bates, like many of her contemporaries, affects a natural acting style, never allowing artifice to get in the way of emotional honesty. |
