After the reboot of 'Matlock,' Kathy Bates announces her retirement: "My final bow."
After the procedural show wraps, Bates is prepared to depart from Hollywood.
Kathy Bates earned legions of fans through decades of award-winning performances.
The actress who played "Misery" told the New York Times that she is relieved to be finished filming after working on the upcoming "Matlock" reboot.
In the new CBS series, Madeline "Matty" Matlock, portrayed by Bates, has achieved the career success she had always desired.
""All the efforts I've put in, including praying, working, and climbing my way up, are suddenly being asked of me," she said, feeling exhausted."
"This is my last dance."
The new TV series follows a successful septuagenarian, Madeline, who decides to rejoin the workforce at a prestigious law firm. Using her unassuming demeanor and wily tactics, Madeline wins cases and exposes corruption from within.
In the pilot, Matty remarked, "As women age, we become almost invisible. This is advantageous because people don't notice us approaching."

Despite her numerous accolades, including an Oscar and an Emmy Award, Bates' work has left the "American Horror Story" star feeling weighed down by her obsession with achieving perfection in her craft.
""Sometimes I feel jealous of my talent because I can't control it and I just want my life," she said."
Dolores Claiborne, the star of "Dolores Claiborne," admitted that she never really considered being a movie star while growing up, despite wanting her life back in some capacity.
She added, 'I just wanted to be the best I could be.'
