The year is 1991 and the nominees are: 1. Kathy Bates - Misery 2. Anjelica Huston - The Grifters 3. Meryl Streep - Postcards from the Edge 4. Julia Roberts - Pretty Woman 5. Joanne Woodward - Mr. & Mrs. Bridge In 1991 Kathy Bathes won the Academy Award for Best Actress for her iconic performance as Annie Wilkes - Steven King’s favourite character he’s ever written. King was so impressed with her performance he wrote Dolores Claiborne with her in mind and re-wrote character Ray Flowers in The Stand to Rae Flowers when Bates expressed interest in playing the character. High praise! Anjelica Huston has since described her work in The Grifters as the most challenging role of her career. Julia Roberts received her second nomination playing the hooker with a heart of gold in the classic film, Pretty Woman. Meryl Streep received her ninth nomination for Postcards from he Edge, a story based on Carrie Fisher’s 1987 semi-autobiographical novel of the same title. Then there’s Joanne Woodward in Mr & Mrs Bridge. That’s all I will say. You’ll have to listen to the episode for our thoughts on that gem.
