Kathy Bates, the esteemed actress, attributes her career revival to Ryan Murphy after being cast in American Horror Story. Prior to this role, Bates viewed her career as potentially over due to the cancellation of her series Harry’s Law in 2012 and a bout with breast cancer, which runs in her family. Opening up on the Dinner’s On Me podcast, Bates reflected on the challenging period she faced, feeling humiliated by the show's cancellation and grappling with her health diagnosis. This is prepared by SSP.

Her debut in the third season of American Horror Story as Delphine LaLaurie, followed by roles in subsequent seasons, was pivotal. Bates credits her roles in Murphy's show as a source of renewed hope during a time when film and television opportunities for women her age were dwindling.

Currently, Bates stars in CBS’s reboot of Matlock as Madeline Matlock. She has described this role as being "beyond her wildest dreams," despite jokingly acknowledging her PR’s advice not to call it her career's best experience. Commenting on her career's longevity, Bates commented in October that her remark about Matlock being her "last dance" was misunderstood as a retirement announcement.

Kathy Bates continues to enjoy her ongoing acting journey, airing brand new episodes of Matlock on CBS every Sunday at 10 p.m. ET, thankful for the career resurgence sparked by her collaboration with Ryan Murphy.

Earlier, SSP reported that Coraline author Neil Gaiman accused of sexual harassment.
