Slim Kathy Bates: No More Misery!

TWO-TIME cancer survivor Kathy Bates has dropped 60 pounds, colored her hair — and gotten a new lease on life!

“I feel like a completely different person!” gushes the 70-year-old Oscar winner, who slammed James Caan’s ankles with a sledgehammer in the 1990 horror flick Misery.

Kathy was diagnosed with stage 1 ovarian cancer in 2003. In 2012, she underwent a double mastectomy to treat breast cancer.

She’s now battling lymph edema, which she developed after undergoing lymph node surgery and which causes painful swelling in her limbs.
