Bates plays astute lawyer Madeline “Matty” Matlock in the series. When she makes her way into a prominent Chicago legal office, her character is hiding something.

Even while viewers might believe they understand her intentions by the conclusion of the first hour, Bates assures us that plot twists and surprises will continue until the very end. The Oscar-winning actress said of her performance, “Matlock has an agenda that not everyone is aware of. I enjoy hitting so many different notes.”

“I never imagined that at my age, I would be playing a role as amazing as this for Network, which a huge number of people will watch,” she said. She acknowledged that she was taken aback to have been given such a complex role, particularly on a network series with such a large viewership.

Her persona is one of a forgotten, underappreciated woman who deftly uses her age—a perceived disadvantage—to her advantage. She values real connections over virtual ones and uses her extensive life experience and expertise to connect with people.

Rather than depending solely on digital resources, this human touch is essential to case solving and globe navigation. In response, Bates related a funny story from the Paramount lot where “Matlock” is filmed, when asked if she had ever felt invisible.

She said that when she drove her golf cart around on studio visits, she was frequently ignored. Bates explained that people would completely ignore her as she passed by, calling it a running joke. The woman remembered asking herself, “What’s going on? Are they unaware of my identity?

She used to wave modestly, but these days she makes frenetic arm motions to attract attention. Bates added that if she weren’t so well-known, she would probably be invisible, joking that her invisibility might be caused by aging or weight loss.

When asked how many “Matlock” seasons she would have preferred to do, Bates said she would like to do about five. It would depend on how long she was able to continue, she said, grinning, adding, “We’ll see how long God gives me.”

In any event, Bates proves that she is still a significant force in the entertainment industry by bringing her extraordinary talent and personality to every role.
