LOS ANGELES (TND) — Legendary actress, Kathy Bates, revealed
she just wants her life back.

Bates revealed her retirement plan during an interview with The
New York Times about her upcoming project.

The Oscar winner is ready to quit acting after filming "Matlock,"
which she called her "last dance."

The 76-year-old actress will play the role of Madeline Matlock in
the reboot that’s scheduled to debut September 22 on CBS.

Bates shared she was ready to leave the spotlight after an
unnamed movie shoot left her sobbing on a sofa.

"It becomes my life, Bates told The New York Times. "Sometimes
I get jealous of having this talent. Because I can’t hold it back, and
I just want my life."

In the 1990s Bates won a "best actress" Academy Award for her
role in the horror thriller “Misery.”

The King of Rock and Roll teamed up with TV’s reigning variety
program, as Elvis Presley (21) appeared on “The Ed Sullivan
Show” for the first time on September 9, 1956.        

With 60 million viewers—or 82.6 percent of TV viewers at the time—tuning in, the appearance garnered the show’s best
ratings in two years and became the most-watched TV
broadcast of the 1950s.

Although “The Ed Sullivan Show” was filmed in New York,
Presley performed remotely from CBS’s Los Angeles
studio because he was filming his first movie, Love Me
Tender, in California.

Grandparents’ Day falls on the first Sunday of September
following Labor Day. Thus, the date changes from year to
year, but the informal holiday always falls in early to mid-
September.  

In the United States, Russell Capper (age 9 in 1969) sent
a letter to President Nixon suggesting a special day be
set aside as Grandparents’ Day.

Since the aforementioned letter, Marian McQuade, a West
Virginia housewife, was recognized nationally by the United
States Senate – in particular by Senators Jennings Randolph
and Robert Byrd – and by President Jimmy Carter, as the
founder of National Grandparents Day.

In 1973, then-Senator Jennings Randolph, D-WV, introduced
a  resolution to the senate to make Grandparents’ Day a
national holiday.

The flower of the U.S. National Grandparents Day is the
forget-me-not which blooms in the spring. As a result,
seasonal flowers are given in appreciation to grandparents
on this day.
