Kathleen Doyle Bates (nata il 28 giugno 1948) è un'attrice e regista americana. Ha ricevuto numerosi riconoscimenti, tra cui un Premio Oscar, due Primetime Emmy Awards e due Golden Globe. Nata a Memphis, Tennessee, ha studiato teatro alla Southern Methodist University prima di trasferirsi a New York per intraprendere una carriera di attrice. Ottenne ruoli minori a teatro prima di essere scelta per il suo primo ruolo sullo schermo in Taking Off (1971). La sua prima esibizione teatrale Off-Broadway fu nella produzione del 1976 di Vanities. Durante gli anni '70 e i primi anni '80 continuò a esibirsi sullo schermo e sul palcoscenico, ottenendo una nomination al Tony Award come Miglior Attrice Protagonista in uno Spettacolo nel 1983 per la sua interpretazione in 'Night, Mother', e vinse un Obie Award nel 1988 per la sua interpretazione in Frankie and Johnny in the Clair de Lune. La performance di Bates nei panni di Annie Wilkes nel teso thriller psicologico Misery (1990) segnò il suo successo a Hollywood, vincendole l'Oscar come miglior attrice. Ulteriori riconoscimenti arrivarono per il suo ruolo da protagonista in Dolores Claiborne (1995), The Waterboy (1998) e per i ruoli di supporto in Fried Green Tomatoes (1991) e Titanic (1997). Bates ha ricevuto successive nomination agli Oscar nella categoria Miglior Attrice Non Protagonista per il suo lavoro in Primary Colors (1998), About Schmidt (2002) e Richard Jewell (2019). Il lavoro televisivo di Bates ha valso 14 nomination agli Emmy Award, inclusi due per il suo ruolo da protagonista nella serie NBC Harry's Law (2011–12). Ha vinto il Primetime Emmy Award come Miglior Attrice Ospite in una Serie Comica per la sua apparizione nella nona stagione di Two and a Half Men (2012) e il Primetime Emmy Award come Miglior Attrice Non Protagonista in una Miniserie o Film per la sua interpretazione di Delphine LaLaurie nella terza stagione di American Horror Story (2013). Ha inoltre ricevuto riconoscimenti per la sua interpretazione di Miss Hannigan nell'adattamento televisivo del 1999 di Annie. I suoi crediti come regista includono diversi episodi della serie televisiva HBO Six Feet Under (2001–03) e il film televisivo Ambulance Girl (2005).
