American Horror Story is, without a doubt, one of the most interesting horror shows with a colorful cast of characters/actors. Out of all the actors in American Horror Story, Jessica Langehad the most range. She played four different characters in the first four seasons and absolutely killed them. American Horror Story was her grand return to the screen, and she did not take it for granted.
Part of the reason for her retirement is because of her age. During an interview with the Los Angeles Times, she mentioned that she is"coming to the end of acting" and that she wanted to"go out with a bang...or should I say, a scare?" When Lange first starred in American Horror Story, she was only supposed to be in one season. One season turned into four, and she quickly became an American Horror Story fan favorite.
1 Lange's Concerns About Hollywood's Direction Close The biggest reason for her retirement from American Horror Story has to do with how Hollywood is producing its films and television. To be honest, she's not wrong with how far the industry is pushing certain genres and films. Lange expressed her disgust with Hollywood and how"creativity is secondary now to corporate profits." Basically, Hollywood has put its primary focus on franchises that bring in the most profit.
Jessica Lange has had an outstanding acting career. She has won numerous awards since her debut film, 1976's King Kong, and that's all on top of the albums and books she has published over the years. If any actor deserves to retire, it's Lange. American Horror Story still isn't the same without her. But really, can she be blamed for her decision to retire? The answer is no.
