Trending

Kathy Bates’ portrayal of Annie Wilkes in Misery was so terrifying that audiences found it hard to separate her on-screen character with her real life persona. Annie wasn’t your typical villain; she was an obsessive fan who turned her favorite author’s life into a nightmare. Bates captured Annie’s unhinged nature with chilling precision, switching from sweet and caring to violent and deranged in seconds. The infamous “hobbling” scene, where she shattered Paul Sheldon’s ankles, remains one of the most horrifying moments in film history.
