Kathy Bates, who has considered retirement before, says she will end her award-winning acting career after CBS' new take on 'Matlock' runs its course.
Kathy Bates is ready to leave Hollywood behind — after one last hoorah. Bates, whose decades-long acting career has earned her an Oscar and a couple of Emmys, revealed that her retirement is imminent. The 'American Horror Story' and 'Misery' star said in a recent interview that her upcoming turn in CBS' reboot of the Andy Griffith procedural 'Matlock' will be her final screen project.
Bates told the New York Times that she wanted to end her career after a movie shoot had gone awry. A day after filming on the unnamed project, Bates reportedly called her agents to inform them she was ready to retire. Then, in January, she received the scripts for the 'Matlock' reboot. Bates, who is an executive producer on 'Matlock,' said she sees the show as an opportunity to showcase the skills she has honed over the course of her career.
