Jessica Lange Is Totally Done With “American Horror Story”
There’s always two things you can count on. Number one is that the world will continue to spin with or without you. And number two is that a Ryan Murphy production will be ten layers of gay and twelve layers of camp. Really anything could be evidence in proving this but I’m choosing my favorite – John Travolta‘s wig in American Crime Story. His former leading lady on American Horror Story, Jessica Lange, is on to new things, specifically Ryan’s new show, Feud. She’ll be playing Joan Crawford opposite Susan Sarandon‘s Bette Davis. See? The world still turns and this new show is sending the gay and the camp through the roof.
Jessica was recently on Charlie Rose and he brought up AHS. Like many, he was wondering whether she’d ever return to it and save us from Lady Gaga. Sadly, her answer was a “no”. (via E!)
Jessica: “No, I think, you know, I had four years with that. Four seasons. And each year was a marvelous character. Everything changed from one year to another, which made it very interesting for me. But, no, I think sometimes you come to the end of something and it has a…”
Charlie: “And you know?”
J: “Yeah. And it has had it’s natural… end.”
C: “But, I mean, people loved you in that.”
J: “I know. I know, I know. It’s funny.”
No, Jessica, it isn’t funny. You know why? Because Lady Gaga now has an Golden Globe. Is that funny to you, missy? Whatever. Jessica may be done scaring us in places like murder houses and New Orleans witch covens, but I’m sure her Joan Crawford will terrify us all. Thanks to Faye Dunaway, we all cower in fear when there’s even a wiff of wire hangers so Jessica has a lot to live up to. I hope she throws her talented class act thing out the window, chews the scenery like no one ever has and gives Faye a run for her money. I’m also hoping that she stuck it into her contract that Ryan must at all times wear a blonde wig and be called Christina.
