Actress Kathy Bates, known for her powerful performances on screen, has recently revealed that she is facing a serious chronic health condition. Despite this setback, she continues to inspire us with her determination and passion for her craft.Bates began her acting career in New York back in 1970, and although she didn’t fit the mold of a traditional leading lady, she persisted and found success as a character actor.
Reflecting on those early years, Bates shared, “I was never an ingenue. I’ve always just been a character actor. When I was younger, it was a real problem because I was never pretty enough. It was hard, not just for the lack of work, but because you have to face up to how people are looking at you.”
