Bates’s weight loss has sparked diverse reactions. Some fans have expressed concern, saying, “Love Kathy to death but honey you can’t lose that much weight after a certain age,” while others have had trouble recognizing her, with one comment reading, “I almost didn’t recognize her… her face looks so thin.”
Despite the mixed feedback, Bates remains a respected figure in the industry. She noted, “‘I’ve never thought at my age I’d be playing such a wonderful role and for network, which so many people are going to see.” Bates hopes to continue with “Matlock” for around five seasons, depending on her health and longevity.
