What Is Kathy Bates Doing Now

So, you're wondering, "What's Kathy Bates up to these days?" Well, buckle up, my friend, 'cause we're about to dive into a world of acting, directing, and some seriously impressive hobbies. Let's get started!

Acting Queen

First things first, Kathy Bates is still slaying it in the acting department. You might remember her from Misery, where she played the terrifying nurse, Annie Wilkes. Or perhaps you've seen her in American Horror Story, where she's played more characters than I've had cups of coffee (and that's saying something).

But here's a fun fact for you: Kathy Bates is actually the only actress to win an Emmy for playing the same character in four different seasons of American Horror Story. That's right, she's the queen of versatility, playing everything from a witch to a bearded lady. Talk about range!

Directing Dynamo

But wait, there's more! Kathy Bates isn't just an acting powerhouse; she's also a directing dynamo. She's directed episodes of shows like Harry's Law, The Office, and even Two and a Half Men. Yes, you read that right. She's directed Charlie Sheen. I mean, if that's not a resume highlight, I don't know what is.

And get this: she's also directed a few episodes of Pretty Little Liars. So, if you've ever wondered who's behind some of those twisty, turny episodes, now you know. It's Kathy Bates, keeping us on the edge of our seats (and probably laughing behind the scenes).

Hobbies That'll Blow Your Mind

Now, you might think that with a schedule like that, Kathy Bates wouldn't have time for hobbies. But oh, how wrong you'd be. This woman is a force to be reckoned with, both on and off screen.

For instance, did you know she's a potter? Yes, that's right. She throws clay on a wheel and makes beautiful, functional art. I mean, can this woman not be talented at something? She's like the real-life equivalent of a superhero, but instead of fighting crime, she's fighting... clay? Okay, maybe not the best analogy, but you get the point.

And here's another shocker: Kathy Bates is also a singer. Yes, you heard it here first. She's sung on Broadway, in shows like Sweeney Todd and Catch Me If You Can. I mean, can this woman not have a hobby that doesn't involve some form of artistic expression? The answer, my friends, is no.

Age is Just a Number

Oh, and one more thing. Kathy Bates is in her 70s. Yes, you read that right. She's a septuagenarian powerhouse, proving that age is just a number, and talent knows no bounds. So, the next time you think you're too old (or too young) to pursue your passions, remember Kathy Bates and get back out there!

And there you have it, folks. Kathy Bates is still killing it, both on and off screen. She's acting, directing, potting, singing, and generally being an all-around amazing human being. So, the next time you see her on screen, give her a little cheer. She's earned it!
