Kathy Bates - 'Tammy' - Kathy Bates says she got involved with the movie 'Tammy' "quite by magic," revealing that she'd heard Melissa McCarthy wanted her to play a role in it and waited by the phone for the call. When it came, she was absolutely thrilled. She describes the movie plot and describes her character, Lenore, who saves Tammy and her grandmother, who is played by Susan Sarandon.


Tammy movie synopsis:

Tammy (Melissa McCarthy) is having a bad day. She's totaled her clunker car, gotten fired from her thankless job at a greasy burger joint, and instead of finding comfort at home, finds her husband getting comfortable with the neighbor in her own house. It's time to take her boom box and book it.

The bad news is she's broke and without wheels. The worse news is her grandma, Pearl (Susan Sarandon), is her only option -- with a car, cash, and an itch to see Niagara Falls. Not exactly the escape Tammy had in mind. But on the road, with grandma riding shot gun, it may be just what Tammy needs.
