Headline: Kathy Bates recalls mother's surprising reaction to her Oscar win
Caption:
During an interview for CBS Sunday Morning that aired on the weekend, journalist Ben Mankiewicz asked the prolific actress how her family responded when she won the Oscar for Best Actress for her portrayal of Annie Wilkes in the 1990 thriller Misery. In response, Kathy admitted her mother Bertye Bates wasn't particularly impressed. "When I won the Oscar for Misery, she said, 'I don't know what all the excitement (is) about, you didn't discover the cure for cancer.'" Kathy then noted that she forgot to thank her mother during her acceptance speech.
