Kathleen Doyle-Bates, mas conhecida como Kathy Bates (Memphis, 28 de junho de 1948) é uma premiada atriz americana de cinema, teatro,televisão e cineasta.[1]. Atualmente estrela a série Harry's Law.
Biografia
Nascida no sul dos Estados Unidos, filha de um
engenheiro metalúrgico e uma dona-de-casa, Kathy trabalhou nas profissões mais variadas antes de chegar aos palcos e às telas de cinema e televisão. Foi garçonete-cantora num hotel de luxo e é tida como uma
compositora muito capaz. Por muitos anos manteve uma empresa de
audiolivros.
Gordinha e baixinha, mas intensa, versátil e muito capaz, Kathy Bates atua com a mesma desenvoltura em dramas e comédias, rouba fácil a cena de qualquer outro ator e, com muita freqüência, salva filmes não tão bons com sua simples presença no elenco.
[editar]Carreira artística
Em
1982, sob a direção de
Robert Altman, atuou no drama
Come Back to the Five and Dime, Jimmy Dean, Jimmy Dean (no Brasil,
James Dean - O mito sobrevive). No ano seguinte, apareceu no
filme-catástrofe The Day After(no Brasil,
O dia seguinte) e, em
1988, na comédia
Arthur 2: On the Rocks(no Brasil,
Arthur 2 - O milionário arruinado).
Em
1990, finalmente se consagrou ao receber o
Oscar de Melhor Atriz (principal) por
Misery (no Brasil,
Louca obsessão), trabalho pelo qual também ganhou o Globo de Ouro e a admiração de público e critica, sendo sempre lembrada por sua atuação sinistra ao dar vida a insana e obsessiva Annie Wilkes, considerada uma das grandes vilãs do cinema. Por essa atuação se tornou a primeira atriz a ganhar um
Oscar por uma performance em um filme de terror (terro/suspense).
Também participou do drama
White Palace (no Brasil,
Loucos de paixão), ao lado de
Susan Sarandon, e da comédia
Dick Tracy, com
Warren Beatty e
Dustin Hoffman. Um de seus papéis mais admirados é o de Evelyn Couch, do sucesso
Fried Green Tomatoes (no Brasil,
Tomates verdes fritos), de
1991, onde foi uma das protagonistas ao lado de
Jessica Tandy. No mesmo ano pode ser vista no filme
At Play in the Fields of Lord (no Brasil,
Brincando nos campos do senhor), sob a direção do diretor argentino/brasileiro
Hector Babenco.
