Whenever we hear the name – Kathy Bates – most of us immediately identify her with the 1990 hit film, “Misery,” Stephen King’s thriller about a psychotic woman who tortures a novelist played by actor James Caan for killing off her favorite character.
The role catapulted the now 76-year-old actress into movie star status with an Academy Award, a Golden Globe, more Oscar nominations, and a host of iconic film appearances, mostly as a supporting actor.
