[snip] I disagree. By far, the most chilling character Kathy Bates ever played was the mother-in-law of Jack Nicholson's character's daughter in "About Schmidt". I am referring specifically to the scene in which Bates' character joins Nicholson's character in the hot tub and Bates strips down on camera and the viewing audience sees her in full frontal nudity. This was one of the most frightening, chilling visions ever to appear on a movie screen in cinematic history. I am fully convinced that it was responsible for pushing at least 25% of the present male homosexual population of the United States to that last, crucial step into coming to terms with their sexual persuasion.
