Kathy Bates signed this complete script from Misery, the 1990 psychological thriller adapted from Stephen King's novel. Bates played Annie Wilkes, a nurse who rescues romance novelist Paul Sheldon (James Caan) after a car accident, then holds him captive when she learns he's killed off her favorite character. Her performance created one of cinema's most terrifying villains, balancing childlike enthusiasm for Sheldon's books with sudden eruptions of violence. The role required her to be simultaneously sympathetic and monstrous, making audiences understand Annie's twisted logic while recoiling from her actions. Bates won the Academy Award for Best Actress, marking a rare win for a horror performance and launching her into major film roles. Director Rob Reiner brought King's claustrophobic thriller to the screen with mounting dread, while Bates made Annie Wilkes into a cultural icon. Her work in Misery proved that great acting could elevate genre material into something genuinely artistic. The film's most infamous scene—the hobbling—remains one of horror cinema's most shocking moments, delivered with chilling matter-of-factness by Bates. Perfect for Misery fans.
