Jessica Lange, 77, teases retirement from acting after complaining about the lack of quality roles in Hollywood

Jessica Lange is considering retiring from acting after five decades in Hollywood. 

In a new interview with Rolling Stone, the 77-year-old said, 'I actually feel like I’m coming to an end.'

She then referenced her latest film, the critically-acclaimed Long Day's Journey into Night, as 'not a bad way to end'.

The three-time Emmy winner admitted that she has a handful of films in the works, but isn't sure if any of them will ever see the light of day.

'There are a couple projects that have been in the works forever that may or may not happen,' she shared.

'I don’t know. It doesn't seem easy to get things made anymore. At least not the kind of films that interest me.'

In addition to starring in Long Day's Journey into Night, which is an adaptation of the Pulitzer Prize-winning stage play, Lange is also on the current season of American Horror Story.

She was also just awarded the Icon Award at the Newport Beach Film Festival for her lifelong contribution to cinema. 

Lange has two Oscars under her belt, as well as three Emmys and a Tony. 

She won Best Supporting Actress for 1982's Tootsie, and then took home Best Actress more than a decade later for 1994's Blue Sky.

Lange was also nominated for Best Actress for 1983's Frances, 1985's Country, 1986's Sweet Dreams, and 1990's Music Box.

She's also had incredible success on the small screen, winning her first Emmy for the 2009 HBO film Grey Gardens. 

Lange scored another Emmy in 2012 for American Horror Story: Murder House and then won again for American Horror Story: Coven in 2014.

She made her film debut in 1976's King Kong, which was a box office hit and earned her a Golden Globe.  

The actress has long been outspoken about the treatment of women in Hollywood.

In a 2019 interview, she said that the film industry is 'nowhere near' where it should be in terms of gender equality, but acknowledged that things have gotten somewhat better.

The thespian also said that she'd like to take on more stage roles, but admitted that there aren't many parts available for women her age.  

'That's one of the problems of being the age I am. I would love to be on the stage again. The reality is, there's not many parts for me to play,' she said.

Lange also said the quality of filmmaking has decreased compared to decades past. 

'Everything's a trade-off. In the '70s, there were great directors doing great projects. When you look at the body of work from the late '60s through the '70s and into the early '80s — that was the heyday, I think, of American film. I really do,' she said. 

'It became corporatized just like every other aspect of America, and it lost some of its, I don't know — some of its soul.'

Lange slammed the modern movie industry yet again in an interview with Vogue this month to promote her return to the American Horror Story franchise.

'I would love to do something on stage again. It’s been a couple years,' she said.

'I did a wonderful play two years ago called Mother Play, which was a great experience. As far as film, there’s nothing right now that really excites me that much,' she admitted.

'And you’ve got to be excited, because it’s a long, long haul. The idea that you would start something, and then regret your decision to do it would be terrible. So, maybe I’m done!'
