Kathy Bates
Kathy Bates first made her acting debut in theater before switching to film and television. She rose to prominence after walking away with both the Academy Award and Golden Globe for Best Actress thanks to her role in the 1990 psychological thriller “Misery.” In 2002, Bates took some time off after she was diagnosed with ovarian cancer. After undergoing treatment, Bates was free and clear to return back to her hectic schedule. However, two years ago Bates announced on twitter than she had been diagnosed breast cancer and had a double mastectomy.
