Kathy Bates has revealed she nixed getting new boobs after her 2012 double mastectomy — and only wears prostheses for her acting roles!
“I don’t have breasts, so why do I have to pretend like I do?” says 69-year-old Kathy philosophically. “That stuff isn’t important.”
Kathy Bates’ Double Mastectomy
The actress, who played Molly Brown in “Titanic,” beat ovarian cancer 14 years ago — and realized she would rather be flat than flat on her back on an operating table.
“At the last minute, I decided I was feeling so good that I didn’t want [reconstructive] surgery,” says the “Misery” Oscar winner. “I already had what I wanted most, which was to be happy, have energy, work, be with friends and live life. I feel so incredibly lucky.”
