She was nominated for Best supporting actress in 1998 for Primary Colors and again in 2002 for About Schmidt. She performed for a while in little-seen films such as "Summer Heat" and "The Morning After" before landing the role of Annie in "Misery." In 1990 she received the Academy Award for Best Actress for her performance in Misery, as the insane Annie Wilkes, an obsessed fan holding her favorite author captive. Soon after, she acted in the acclaimed movie "Fried Green Tomatoes." In 1995, she turned in another applauded portrayal as the title character in "Dolores Claiborne," and earned rave reviews for her role as the acid-tongued "dustbuster" political advisor Libby Holden in "Primary Colors." She is also the secretary of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences Board of Governers. Her nickname is Bobo. She was recently nominated for the Emmy Award for Best Supporting Actress in a Miniseries or a Movie for her performance in Warm Springs.
Bates did her first nude scene at the age of 43 in At Play in the Fields of the Lord (1991) and again for a scene in About Schmidt (2002). |
