New York Times published Sunday that she plans to retire from acting after starring in the CBS “Matlock” reboot series, which premieres later this month.“This is my last dance,” she said.Bates explained that she was ready to retire last year after an unnamed movie shoot went badly and left her crying on her sofa.
However, she changed her mind when she read the script for the “Matlock” reboot, which is a gender-flipped remake of the original 1986 to 1995 legal drama series that starred Andy Griffith.“Everything I’ve prayed for, worked for, clawed my way up for, I am suddenly able to be asked to use all of it,” Bates said. “And it’s exhausting.”Bates continued to vent about the current state of her career that began over 50 years ago.“Pain, pain, pain, pain, pain.
Do I have the right to feel this pain? When I was given so much?” she said.“It becomes my life,” Bates added about acting. “Sometimes I get jealous of having this talent.
Because I can’t hold it back, and I just want my life.” Bates is best known for films like “Titanic,” “Primary Colors,” “About Schmidt,” “The Waterboy,” “The Blind Side,” “Midnight in Paris” and “Richard Jewell.” She won the Academy Award in 1991 for her role in the psychological thriller “Misery.”The actress has also been nominated for 14 Emmy Awards.
