Early life

Bates was born in Memphis, Tennessee, the youngest of three daughters of mechanical engineer Langdon Doyle Bates and homemaker Bertye Kathleen ( née Talbert).[ citation needed ] Her paternal grandfather was lawyer and author Finis L. Bates. Her great-great-grandfather, an Irish immigrant to New Orleans, Louisiana, served as President Andrew Jackson's doctor. [2] She graduated early from White Station High School (1965) and from Southern Methodist University (1969), where she studied theater and became a member of the Alpha Delta Pi sorority. [3] She moved to New York City in 1970 to pursue an acting career. [4] Bates is an alumna of the William Esper Studio for the performing arts in Manhattan, New York City. [5]

Career

Early work and success on stage (1970–1989)

After moving to New York City, Bates worked several odd jobs as well as minor stage roles while struggling to find work as an actress. At one point, she worked as a cashier at the Museum of Modern Art. [6]

In 1970, Bates was cast in a minor role in the Miloš Forman comedy Taking Off (credited as "Bobo Bates"), her first on-screen role in a feature film. [7] Following this, she continued to struggle to find acting roles, later claiming in an interview with The New York Times that more than one casting agent told her that she wasn't sufficiently attractive to be a successful actress:

"I'm not a stunning woman. I never was an ingenue; I've always just been a character actor. When I was younger it was a real problem, because I was never pretty enough for the roles that other young women were being cast in. The roles I was lucky enough to get were real stretches for me: usually a character who was older, or a little weird, or whatever. And it was hard, not just for the lack of work but because you have to face up to how people are looking at you. And you think, 'Well, y'know, I'm a real person.'" [8]

After Taking Off was released, Bates did not work on another feature film until she appeared opposite Dustin Hoffman in Straight Time (1978), [7] though she continued to perform on stage throughout the 1970s. In 1973 she performed in Wayside Theatre's traveling group, Wayside Theatre on Tour, and was credited as "Bobo Bates". [9] [10] Her first Off-Broadway performance was in the 1976 production of Vanities . Bates subsequently originated the role of Lenny in the first production of Crimes of the Heart at the Actors Theatre of Louisville in 1979. [11] Beginning in 1980, she appeared in Lanford Wilson's Fifth of July . In 1982, she starred in the Robert Altman-directed Come Back to the Five and Dime, Jimmy Dean, Jimmy Dean with Karen Black and Cher. During this time, she also began working in television, starring in a variety of soap operas such as The Doctors , All My Children , and One Life to Live , as well as making guest appearances in episodes of prime-time series such as The Love Boat , Cagney & Lacey , and St. Elsewhere in the late 1970s through the mid-1980s. [12]

The New York Times wrote that, in the early 1980s, Bates "established herself as one of America's finest stage actresses". [8] In 1983, she was nominated for a Tony Award for Best Lead Actress in a Play for her role in the Pulitzer Prize-winning play 'night, Mother . [13] The stage production ran for more than a year. She found further success on Off Broadway, in Terrence McNally's Frankie and Johnny in the Clair de Lune , for which she won an Obie Award for Best Actress in 1988. McNally specifically wrote the play for Bates. [8] She later succeeded Amy Irving in the Off-Broadway production of The Road to Mecca in 1988. Around this time, she shifted her focus to screen acting, with roles in The Morning After (1986), and Summer Heat (1987).

Film breakthrough and critical success (1990–2009)

Bates' performance in the 1990 horror film Misery , based on the book of the same name by Stephen King, marked her Hollywood breakthrough. [14] The film was a commercial and critical success, and her performance as Annie Wilkes was met with widespread critical adulation. Also that year, she had a role in Warren Beatty's crime film Dick Tracy . In the following year she won the Academy Award for Best Actress and the Golden Globe Award for Best Actress – Motion Picture Drama. The American Film Institute included Annie Wilkes (as played by Bates) in their "100 Heroes and Villains" list, ranking her as the 17th-most iconic villain (and sixth-most iconic villainess) in film history. [15]

Soon after, she starred in the acclaimed 1991 film Fried Green Tomatoes , based on the novel by comedic actress Fannie Flagg. For her performance in this film, she received a BAFTA Award nomination. [16] In 1995, Bates played the title character in Dolores Claiborne , another well-received Stephen King adaptation, for which she was nominated for Best Actress at the 22nd Saturn Awards. [17]

In 1995, Bates began working behind the screen as well, as a director, on several television series; her early directing jobs include episodes of Great Performances , Homicide: Life on the Street , and NYPD Blue .

In 1996, Bates received her first Emmy Award nomination for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Miniseries or a Movie, for her performance as Jay Leno's manager Helen Kushnick in HBO's The Late Shift (1996). [18] That role also earned Bates her second Golden Globe Award win in the category of Best Supporting Actress – Series, Miniseries or Television Film and her first Screen Actors Guild Award for Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Miniseries or Television Movie. [19] [20]

Bates gained wider recognition in 1997 when she portrayed Molly Brown in James Cameron's epic romance and disaster film Titanic .

In 2002, she received her third Academy Award nomination, again in the Best Supporting Actress category, for performance as an aging free-spirited woman in About Schmidt , opposite Jack Nicholson. A scene in the film, which features Bates completely nude entering a hot tub, was noted by critics and received significant public attention. [21] [22] [23] [24] NPR called it "the scene everyone is talking about". [22] Bates spoke about the scene in several interviews; speaking to Hello! , she said:

"People either laugh or cheer ... I was at the premiere and there are a lot of women who are shouting, 'You go, girl!' ... I think there are a lot of women in the audience who are thrilled to see a real woman up on the screen in all her glory." [7]

Throughout the 2000s Bates worked consistently in Hollywood cinema, often playing supporting roles, such as in Rumor Has It... (2005), Failure to Launch (2006), P.S. I Love You (2007), The Day the Earth Stood Still (2008), and The Blind Side (2009). In 2006, she directed and co-starred in her feature film directorial debut Have Mercy (2006) with Melanie Griffith.

During this time, she also appeared frequently on television. She starred in ten episodes of the HBO television drama series Six Feet Under , for which she received an Emmy Award nomination for Outstanding Guest Actress in a Drama Series in 2003. She also directed several episodes of the series.

In 2010, Bates appeared in the romantic comedy film Valentine's Day , directed by Garry Marshall. From 2010 to 2011, she had a recurring guest role on the NBC sitcom The Office as Jo Bennett. [27] Her first lead role on a television series was in David E. Kelley's legal drama Harry's Law , [28] which began airing on NBC on January 17, 2011, but was later canceled on May 14, 2012.

[30] In 2012, Bates made a guest appearance on Two and a Half Men as the ghost of Charlie Harper on the episode "Why We Gave Up Women", which aired on April 30, 2012.

In 2013, she began starring in the American Horror Story series' third season, Coven , as Delphine LaLaurie, an immortal racist New Orleans socialite who is brought back into the modern world after spending 180 years buried alive. [32] For that role, she won her second Emmy Award, in the category of Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Miniseries or a Movie.

[34] She subsequently returned again for the fifth season, Hotel , where she played Iris, the hotel's manager. [35] Bates returned for her fourth, and the show's sixth season, Roanoke , playing two characters—Thomasin "The Butcher" White and Agnes Mary Winstead. [36] She received further Emmy Award nominations for Freak Show and Hotel. [18]

On September 20, 2016, Bates received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame for her work in the film industry. Her star is located at 6927 Hollywood Boulevard.

[39] The show aired for two seasons.

In 2020, it was reported that Bates would be starring in an Irish drama film, The Miracle Club , with Maggie Smith and Laura Linney. The film's plot is being described as a "joyful and hilarious" journey of a group of riotous working-class women from Dublin, whose pilgrimage to Lourdes in France leads them to discover each other's friendship and their own personal miracles." [44] The film premiered at the 2023 Tribeca Film Festival. She was cast in the coming-of-age film Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret. (2023), a feature adaptation of Judy Blume’s novel of the same name, directed by Kelly Fremon Craig. [45]

Reception and acting style

Since her universally acclaimed breakout role in Misery (1990), Bates has often been referred to by the media as one of America's most respected actresses. [46] [47] [48]

She has been praised for her ability to portray a wide range of characters across genres and performing media. [49] [50] Bates ascribes this to her perceived lack of conventional beauty, which has allowed her to take on unconventional and interesting roles from the very beginning of her career. [51] Derek Malcolm of The Guardian noted that Bates emerged as a new kind of a film actress unrestrained by the necessity to be glamorous, a standard that had hitherto been expected of female screen stars. Referring to her acting talent, Malcolm added that, "[Bates] is a fine actress who knows that less in the way of a ‘performance’ is often more and that strong moments have to be severely rationed." [52] Roger Ebert suggested that her role of Annie Wilkes is a prime example of Bates' exceptional talent for versatility, commenting that she is "uncanny in her ability to switch, in an instant, from sweet solicitude to savage scorn". [53]

In addition to commending Bates for her versatility, critics have pointed to her remarkable talent for making her characters believable, no matter how strange or unconventional their personality may be. [54] [55] [56] Jacob Trussell of Film School Rejects notes how "truthful" Bates' performances are, observing that her ability to access a character's inner life enables her to "approach [them] from unique angles that can surprise even the writers who created them". [57]

Due to being theatrically trained, Bates tends to invest considerable time in studying the script, examining her given character's background, and rehearsing. [58] [59]

Personal life

As a teenager, Bates wrote self-described "sad songs" and struggled with bouts of depression. [60] Bates was married to Tony Campisi for six years, from 1991 until their divorce in 1997. [61] She met Campisi in 1977 and dated him for 14 years before their marriage. [8] [62] She is a member of the United Methodist Church and a registered Democrat. [63]

Health issues

Bates has battled ovarian cancer since her diagnosis in 2003. [64] In September 2012, she revealed via Twitter that she had been diagnosed with breast cancer two months earlier and had undergone a double mastectomy. [65] [66] In 2014, at the New York Walk for Lymphedema & Lymphatic Diseases, Bates announced via pre-recorded audio that, due to the double mastectomy, she has lymphedema in both arms. That year, Bates became a national spokesperson for lymphedema and chairperson for the Lymphatic Education & Research Network's (LE&RN) honorary board. [67] [68]

On May 11, 2018, Bates led advocates in a Capitol Hill Lobby Day to garner congressional support for further research funding. The next day, May 12, Bates addressed supporters at the first-ever DC/VA Walk to Fight Lymphedema & Lymphatic Diseases at the Lincoln Memorial. She was awarded the 2018 WebMD Health Heroes "Game Changer" Award for her role in raising awareness of this chronic lymphatic disease. [69]

Activism

In June 2016, the Human Rights Campaign released a video in tribute to the victims of the Orlando nightclub shooting; in the video, Bates and others told the stories of the people murdered there. [70] [71]
