Bates battled ovarian cancer in 2004.

I read about that last night and was so saddened to hear it. But gosh, what a great attitude she has. I have always loved Kathy Bates, ever since I saw her in Dolores Claiborne. She is one seriously amazing actress, one that is as great at comedy as she is intense drama. I had no idea she is an ovarian cancer survivor of 9 years, before I read it last night. That is a tough one to beat.

I'm so sad to here that

Hope everything goes well for her. My Mom's favorite movie is Misery.
I loved Kathy also in The Blind Side. She is a classic!

I like her too..she made Titanic bearable to me. : )
My mom and sister had breast cancer and I'm always amazed at the courage and grace so many have.

I hope she recovers quickly.
