AARP Wondering If Anyone Will Notice Kathy Bates On Cover For 9th Issue In Row
WASHINGTON—Cautiously optimistic that the trend would continue to arouse no suspicions from readers, executives at AARP reportedly wondered Wednesday whether anyone would notice that Kathy Bates was appearing on the cover of the nonprofit's bimonthly magazine for the ninth time in a row. 'I don't even think we need to change the photo—this one is good,' said Bob Love, editor-in-chief of AARP: The Magazine , referring to the smiling portrait of the 76-year-old Oscar winner, who has graced the cover of every issue for more than a year under a headline that alternates between 'Kathy Bates Makes A Scene' and ' Matlock Is Back!' 'I really don't think anyone will notice or care. I mean, everyone loves Kathy. Plus, I really think she still has a lot more to say about how her sense of self has changed with age.' According to reports, Love later decided to hedge the publication's bets by putting Jon Bon Jovi on the cover of the issue after this one and then returning to Bates for the next six issues after that.
