Kathy Bates is by far one of my favorite actresses in Hollywood, and she’s once again gaining well-deserved recognition for her new role as Madeline Matlock in CBS’ retooled version of Matlock. In addition to critics being wowed (WTW included as we gave the show high marks in our Matlock review), fans have propelled the show to be named the 2024 fall TV season’s most-watched new show, and it’s already greenlit for a season 2.
But before Bates became the witty attorney, she was once a meek housewife just going through the motions in the classic hit movie Fried Green Tomatoes, which is now streaming on Peacock.
