  Kathy Wilkes - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Kathleen Wilkes (June 23, 1946-August 21, 2003) was a philosopher and academic who played an important part in rebuilding the education systems of former Communist countries after 1990.
Kathy Wilkes became a fellow of St Hilda's College, Oxford, in 1973, and was a lecturer in philosophy in the University of Oxford for the rest of her career.
She worked tirelessly, usually in secret, for the education systems of eastern Europe; and following the collapse of their political regimes, especially that of the former Yugoslavia, she worked to try to restore their academic standards, spending time in Croatia, where she was honoured with a doctorate from the University of Zagreb.

Of the Stephen King novels I've read, the most appealing are those propelled by their characters and gradual tension rather than supernatural horror — "The Shining," "The Stand" and especially "Misery," for example.
His car goes off the road and rolls, and he's near death when a woman named Annie Wilkes (Kathy Bates) rescues him.
A former nurse, she takes him home, splints his broken legs and helps him regain his strength, explaining that the roads are closed and the phone lines are down, so she can't call for help.

Having assassinated the character he had come to hate, Sheldon holes up in a Colorado lodge to write a "real" novel, and when he finishes it he packs it into his car and heads down a mountain road in a blizzard, loses control of his car, and ends up injured and in a snowbank.
He might easily have died, but he's rescued by a brusque, resourceful woman named Annie Wilkes (Kathy Bates), who digs him out, takes him home, nurses him back to health, and then is outraged to learn he has killed off Misery.
Many competent directors could have done what Reiner does here, and perhaps many other actors could have done what Caan does, although the Kathy Bates performance is trickier and more special.
