She is a major movie star who recently lost 100lbs. This icon has been in tons of films and TV shows and is a household name. One of her horror films is ranked a top flick. But when she stepped out in NYC on Tuesday she was unrecognizable. Who is she?
She is Kathy bates.
She displayed her trim figure as she promoted the very first season of her Matlock reboot.
The legendary actress, who has lost a total of 100 pounds over the last seven years, was spotted arriving to the CBS Morning Show in New York City on Tuesday.
She met with and took photographs with her adoring fans who were waiting for her outside the studio.
Kathy sported smart green hued glasses, a glossy vest, and textured jade green top.
Kathy, 76, is currently promoting the debut season of her new show Matlock, a gender-flipped reboot of the original series. The show premieres on CBS on October 17.
It comes after Kathy sparked speculation she was retiring following an interview with The New York Times, where she referred to Matlock as her ‘last dance.’
But the actress has since clarified several times that is not the case.
‘I think people got confused and thought I was going to retire,’ she recently told People. ‘What I meant was, how can it get any better? I would love for this to keep going.’

Meanwhile, Kathy’s 100 pound weight loss transformation has been making headlines.
She recently admitted she dropped the final 20 pounds with the help of Ozempic.
Bates lost her first 80 pounds with lifestyle and food changes before going on Ozempic to drop the last 20, she told People.
‘There’s been a lot of talk that I just was able to do this because of Ozempic,’ she told the publication. ‘But I have to impress upon people out there that this was hard work for me, especially during the pandemic. It’s very hard to say you’ve had enough.’

Bates revealed she really started making improvements in her health after receiving a diagnosis for type 2 diabetes seven years ago.
‘I ate because I was afraid, and I ate because it was a FU to my self-esteem,’ she shared. ‘Diabetes] runs in my family, and I’d seen what my father had gone through. He had had a leg amputation. One of my sisters is dealing with it very seriously, and it terrified me. It scared me straight.’
Bates then embarked on a health and fitness journey which saw her ditch fast food and discontinue eating by 8PM.
‘I used to eat terribly: burgers and Cokes and pizza,’ she admitted.
Her niece also shared advice about the signals bodies send to indicate they are full: ‘When we’re full, we experience an involuntary sigh,’ Bates recounted.
‘I just pushed the plate away,’ she added.
