AHS' Jessica Lange Drops a Bombshell About Potential Retirement
The iconic actor is fed up with Hollywood.
Few actresses today can claim the level of accomplishment that Jessica Lange has achieved. She is widely regarded as one of the greatest talents in Hollywood history. And it's not 'just like your opinion, man': Lange is one of a select few who have achieved the Triple Crown of Acting, having won two Academy Awards, three Primetime Emmy Awards, and a Tony Award.
Despite beginning her career in the dim and distant 1976, she continues to work today and has recently garnered considerable praise for her collaborations with Ryan Murphy.
However, the 74-year-old actress is gradually reducing her workload. While fans initially speculated that age was the reason, Lange herself has a different perspective.
Thoughts Of Retirement
Lange was last seen in Neil Jordan's somewhat disappointing Marlowe, and she still has a few projects in production. However, it would appear that the actress is already contemplating retirement from acting, despite her original plans to work for several more years.
The reasons behind this decision are not personal but rather a reflection of her dissatisfaction with the contemporary film industry. That explains why she wants to take a leave of absence from Hollywood.
'I don't think I'll do this too much longer. Creativity is secondary now to corporate profits. The emphasis becomes not on the art or the artist or the storytelling. It becomes about satisfying your stockholders. It diminishes the artist and the art of filmmaking,' Lange said.
Fans quickly supported the actress, applauding her for speaking out against Hollywood's shift towards profit over entertainment. Many seasoned actors like Lange have expressed their discontent with Hollywood's current state, suggesting that the studios should acknowledge the problems they have created and attempt to fix them one way or another.
Otherwise, we risk losing talented actors, as even substantial paychecks may not be enough to tolerate the corporate mentality of modern Hollywood.
