Kathy Bates recently got candid about ageism in Hollywood, sharing how it is restricting opportunities for actors in many ways.
Speaking to her Matlock co-stars in Pasadena, California during a Q&A session, the 76-year-old actress, who is now portraying the role of lawyer Madeline Matlock in the reboot of the 1980s’ legal drama series, explained: “A woman my age would never have such a role, ever. The complexity; the writing. A lot of ageism exists, and I’ve only been interested in doing the best work I can possibly do.”
