Did Kathy Bates Actually Thank Her Mom During 1991 Oscars Speech? Actress Revisits Touching Moment After 30 Years

When Kathy Bates won the Academy Award in 1991 for her role in Misery, she initially believed that she had forgotten to thank her mother, Bertye Bates. However, she later realized that she had indeed expressed her gratitude to her mother during her heartfelt speech at the Oscars.

Bates realized this while speaking to Ben Mankiewicz for CBS Sunday Morning. She fondly recalled that after her win, her mother, in her typical humorous style, told her, “I don’t know what all the excitement is about; you didn’t discover the cure for cancer.”

When the interviewer showed her her speech, Kathy Bates was taken aback. She realized that she had, in fact, thanked her mother. The actress said, “I’d like to thank my family, my friends. My mom at home, my dad, who I hope is watching somewhere.”

After seeing a clip of the past event, she questioned why she thought she did not thank her mom. Bates was relieved to learn this. Mankiewicz asked her why it meant a lot to her to know that she expressed her gratitude to Bertye.

She responded by saying that her mother should have had her life. The veteran actress said that when Bertye passed away, the actress told her, “Come into me,” because she wanted her spirit to come into her.

Bates added that even though they faced many hardships, she wanted to let Bertye’s spirit ‘enjoy’ everything she enjoyed because of what she gave up.

Bates is one of the most respected actresses in Hollywood. She has had an impressive and broad career trajectory. She has remained relevant because of her talent and for making daring choices by taking up unconventional roles, such as her chilling portrayal in Misery and her heartwarming performance in Fried Green Tomatoes.

Talking about her 1991 Oscar win for Misery, a role that showcased her exceptional acting skills. The movie was the screen adaptation of Stephen King’s book of the same name. The movie was helmed by Reiner and starred James Caan, Lauren Bacall, Richard Farnsworth, Wendy Bowers, Jerry Potter, Frances Sternhagen, and many more.

As far as the veteran actress’s latest career front goes, she was seen in the Matlock series and in a Netflix film titled A Family Affair, which also starred Nicole Kidman, Zac Efron, Joey King, Liza Koshy, Sherry Cola, and Olivia Macklin.

Exclusive: Mona Singh on debuting with Jassi Jaissi Koi Nahin

Mona Singh has recently opened up about her unconventional debut with Jassi Jaissi Koi Nahin. The actress portrayed the role of Jasmeet Walia, who faced demeaning behaviour from her colleagues due to her appearance. While speaking to Filmfare, the actress quipped about the challenges she faced while filming the popular serial and how she showed up to work every day while dressing up as Jassi.

When asked about the difficulties she had to undergo while filming Jassi, the actress said, “It wasn’t difficult at all. I was passionate and driven towards it because that is the only thing that I wanted to do.” Calling herself “fortunate,” Mona noted that starting in the industry with a show like Jassi Jaissi Koi Nahin was a dream-come-true for her. “My only plan in life was to act and showcase my talent. I wanted to get the opportunities that I am getting now. But to start with a show like Jassi Jaissi Koi Nahin was like a dream come true. I was never tired. Of course, there were days when it used to get a little taxing because the lead of a show is there in every scene. Otherwise, I was charged up most of the time,” she added.

Mona also added that her parents wanted her to make the most out the opportunity. “I told my parents about the way I’m going to look and they were fine with it. They wanted me to follow the unconventional path. They wanted me to make my own identity in my own way,” she noted.

Speaking about the grueling audition process, Mona also said, “I was a newcomer myself and auditioning for a year and a half before I got Jassi. I was completely shocked and taken aback when I got the role. The producers told me that they would try to give me one day off a week. They said it would be very tough.”
