During an appearance on “Sunday Morning,” Bates talked about her mother’s reaction when she won best actress for the 1990 movie “Misery.”
She remarked, “I do not know what all the excitement [is] about; you did not find a cure for cancer,” after I won the Oscar for “Misery.”
Bates went on to explain that she didn’t remember to thank her mother during the speech, but Mankiewicz posted a video that showed that she did.
The actress, who was crying with relief in the film, said that her mother “should have had my life.”
“Come into me, I said, when she passed away. I desired for her spirit to enter me. Despite the fact that we had a lot of it.
