Kathy Bates scared us all in Misery, but she also turned in a memorable performance in another Stephen King adaptation, Dolores Claiborne.
The Big Picture “They just cheated us. This isn’t fair. He didn’t get out of the cockadoodie car!” In 1990, Kathy Bates animated Annie Wilkes, one of the most iconic and troubling characters to erupt from Stephen King’s imagination. Whether she was telling her captive, Paul Sheldon , about her obsessive love of his work or hobbling him so he can’t escape, Annie kept viewers on the edge of their seats wondering what lunacy she’d further devolve into.
Resentfully, Selena goes to Maine to be with her mother while the investigation is pending. They aren’t close, so much so that when Selena arrives at the sheriff’s station Dolores thinks she’s a lawyer who’s been assigned to her case. An ego-bruised detective is determined to see Dolores changed for murder in Vera’s death, but he has his own motivations for wanting so. Big news travels quickly in a small town, and Dolores finds herself in the crosshairs where grudges, resentment, and reputation all come into play. Will Dolores be a free woman? Should she be a free woman?
Bates’ Dolores is a tough woman whose life has been anything but easy. She loves her daughter, but her daughter hates her. She works for a nightmare of a boss and is paid below the poverty level. But she wasn’t always this hardened person. Bates is able to bring forth the duality of Dolores: the young mother who’s trying to keep a home together and protect her daughter and the middle-aged pariah who has to push through whatever comes in her path.
