Kathy Bates left her fans feeling “emotional” after expressing her regret over not thanking her mother during her Oscar acceptance speech in 1991. However, in a new interview on CBS Sunday Morning (October 6), journalist Ben Mankiewicz moved the Hollywood star to tears after proving her otherwise.
Kathy told Ben that her parents had sacrificed a lot for her to study to become an actress. But she also noted that – despite receiving a Tony Award nomination for Night, Mother, and then an Academy Award – her mother’s reaction to her success was less than charitable, CBS reported on Monday (October 7).
The 76-year-old actress revealed: “When I won the Oscar for Misery, she said, ‘I don’t know what all the excitement’s about. You didn’t discover the cure for cancer’.”
