Update photos pls

You need to update her photos. She has lost 100 lbs!!!! 2605:A601:A9F7:B100:3111:7035:F244:2E86 (talk) 23:58, 13 October 2024 (UTC)

I agree. Come on, these photos are the very worst I've ever seen of her. No disrespect, but let's try to portray people as we would like to be portrayed. 71.105.203.30 (talk) 00:48, 6 November 2024 (UTC)

I am not sure on the guidelines for photos in infoboxes but I couldn't find anything recent in c:Category:Kathy Bates, our freely licenced file resposity where we can draw photos of living people from. Anyone is welcome to take a photo of Bates or find a freely licenced one, we can't take a random file off the internet though. It also raises the question, if Bates puts on 200 pounds in the next 5 years do we pick a recent picture then or keep an older, more flattering one?

Why no mention of "Chéri" 2009 film starring Bates, Michelle Pfeiffer and Rupert Friend?

Never made an edit and don't have an account. I don't want to break the rules here & apologies if I have, but it appears info about her film "Chéri" is missing. Kathy Bates was wonderful in that film. 2603:7080:413E:A92C:B166:447E:6942:6B7A (talk) 23:18, 20 February 2025 (UTC)

It's listed at Kathy Bates filmography; what more would you like to see? DonIago (talk) 03:28, 21 February 2025 (UTC)

new photos please

Please add new photos of Kathy Bates. Eg her role in Matlock. How she looks now (2025) as compared to the old photos on this page. (Edit: just realised someone else has mentioned this in a previous topic.)118.208.69.231 (talk) 22:08, 31 March 2025 (UTC)

100% agree. Put in a recent photo! Also, plenty of great photos of her at any stage of her career, why was such an unflattering photo chosen? 67.186.189.202 (talk) 23:02, 29 May 2025 (UTC)

If there's plenty of great photos, why not add one yourself, or let other editors know where they might find one that would be appropriate to add? DonIago (talk) 02:22, 30 May 2025 (UTC)
