Jessica Lange could be saying goodbye to acting forever — and she blamed the lack of decent roles being offered.
“I actually feel like I’m coming to an end,” the 77-year-old actress told Rolling Stone in a recent interview.
The Oscar winner mused that perhaps “it’s not a bad way to end,” noting that her last film role was Mary Tyrone in “Long Day’s Journey Into Night,” a movie adaptation of the Eugene O’Neill play that was filmed in 2022 and released in a limited capacity in the US last month.
“There are a couple projects that have been in the works forever that may or may not happen,” she explained.
“I don’t know. It doesn’t seem easy to get things made anymore. At least not the kind of films that interest me.”
When asked how she wanted to be remembered, the “Cape Fear” star was modest.
“For some good parts. For some good films. For being an honest actor,” she shared.
“I’ve been incredibly lucky. I love acting, and I’ve had decades of being able to do it, which has been a joy for me,” Lange added.
“Difficult at times, balancing family and career and locations and dragging my kids here and there. But it all was a great adventure. I’m so grateful that [it] came my way.”
Most recently, Lange appeared on the small screen in Season 13 of “American Horror Story.”
The “Frances” star recently slammed FX as “f–king cheap” for not providing car service to the cast of “American Horror Story” Season 3.
“We had to drive ourselves,” the actress declared while reflecting on the experience with co-stars Sarah Paulson, Billie Lourd, Gabourey Sidibe and more at PaleyFest earlier this month
“Thank you, FX,” she quipped in a now-viral video captured by a fan.
Lange made her film debut in the 1976 monster flick “King Kong” and went on to be nominated for six Oscars — winning twice for “Tootsie” (best supporting actress) and “Blue Sky” (best actress).
She also racked up nine Emmy Award nominations, winning three times for “Grey Gardens” (lead actress in a miniseries or movie), “American Horror Story: Murder House” (lead actress in a miniseries or movie) and “American Horror Story: Coven” (lead actress in a miniseries or movie).
