Oscar nominee Kathy Bates remembers women were being called into hotel rooms long before the #MeToo-era.
When Kathy Bates began acting professionally in the ‘70s, decades before the Harvey Weinstein scandal and the #MeToo Movement, actresses were still being called to hotel rooms. She remembers that it meant something different, though.
The 71-year-old actress waded into another controversial topic when she discussed the subject of Olivia Wilde’s character in Clint Eastwood’s latest movie, Richard Jewell. Bates, who earned an Oscar nomination for her role as the mother of the man falsely accused of bombing the 1996 Olympics, addressed complaints that the film suggests that the journalist Wilde portrayed knowingly sleeps with a source for her story.
Bates also recounted some of the sexism she faced when she broke into Hollywood. One reviewer described her as “enormously overweight” and “unattractive,” but at least she wasn’t face-to-face with him. After meeting with British reporters for an unnamed 1991 movie, Bates broke down. She lamented that many of her friends aren’t working over 40, but said she’s grateful for the many juicy roles that TV and producers, including Ryan Murphy, have provided to older women in recent years.
