Why doesn't it mention A Home of Our Own? That was a great first movie for Kathy Bates. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:547:C600:BCF0:C068:711C:1AF7:2486 (talk) 01:06, 6 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Update photos pls

You need to update her photos. She has lost 100 lbs!!!! 2605:A601:A9F7:B100:3111:7035:F244:2E86 (talk) 23:58, 13 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I agree. Come on, these photos are the very worst I've ever seen of her. No disrespect, but let's try to portray people as we would like to be portrayed. 71.105.203.30 (talk) 00:48, 6 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I am not sure on the guidelines for photos in infoboxes but I couldn't find anything recent in c:Category:Kathy Bates, our freely licenced file resposity where we can draw photos of living people from. Anyone is welcome to take a photo of Bates or find a freely licenced one, we can't take a random file off the internet though. It also raises the question, if Bates puts on 200 pounds in the next 5 years do we pick a recent picture then or keep an older, more flattering one?

Why no mention of "Chéri" 2009 film starring Bates, Michelle Pfeiffer and Rupert Friend?

Never made an edit and don't have an account. I don't want to break the rules here & apologies if I have, but it appears info about her film "Chéri" is missing. Kathy Bates was wonderful in that film. 2603:7080:413E:A92C:B166:447E:6942:6B7A (talk) 23:18, 20 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

It's listed at Kathy Bates filmography; what more would you like to see? DonIago (talk) 03:28, 21 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
