Reaching out to independent, anti-establishment attorney Watson Bryant, Jewell staunchly professes his innocence. But Bryant finds he is out of his depth as he fights the combined powers of the FBI, GBI and APD to clear his client’s name,while keeping Richard from trusting the very people trying to destroy him.

Sam Rockwell, Kathy Bates, Jon Hamm, Olivia Wilde and Paul Walter Hauser star in the movie.

Kathy Bates Shows Off 60 Pound Weight Loss in New Photos!

Kathy Bates leaves Craig’s restaurant and shows off her new slim figure on Tuesday night (January 29) in West Hollywood, Calif.

The 70-year-old actress recently opened up about her sixty pound weight loss.

“I’m feeling great. I’ve lost a lot of weight,” Kathy told People. Kathy opened up about how after her breast cancer went into remission, she developed lymphedema. Lymphedema is the swelling of the arms and legs that can happen after cancer treatment.

“I’ve lost a lot of weight and it’s really helped with my symptoms,” Kathy added. “I just still have to wear compression sleeves or guard against nicks and bug bites because that can lead to sepsis.”

“Doctors spend 15 to 30 minutes on the entire lymphatic system in medical school, so if someone goes to their general practitioner with swollen limbs, pain and heaviness the doctor will have no idea what it is. So it goes undiagnosed and the disease progresses for years and gets worse and worse,” Kathy added about her condition.
