‘American Horror Story’ Season 5: Jessica Lange Confirms She Will Not Check Into ‘Hotel’; 16 Best Quotes From Her Characters
Jessica Lange is officially checking out of “American Horror Story.” The 65-year-old actress, who starred in all four seasons of the FX miniseries, confirmed that she will not be appearing in the fifth installment,“Hotel.”
“Yes, I’m done,” the actress revealed during a panel at PaleyFest. “We’ve had a great run here. I have absolutely loved doing these four characters that I’ve had the opportunity to play. In all the madness, I’ve loved the writers, my actors, Ryan [Murphy, creator] and the whole, I mean, insanity of it, shooting here, shooting in New Orleans, the stories, everything.”
The award winning actress added that after portraying “four great characters,” it’s time for her to move on. “It’s enough,” she said, referring to her four-season stint on the chill inducing thriller. Since “AHS” first premiered in 2011, Lange has portrayed the roles of Constance Langdon, a God fearing woman and protective mother; Sister Jude Martin, a nun that falls from grace; Fiona Goode, a power-hungry witch and Elsa Mars, a leader of a freak show and star on the rise.
But just because Lange’s FX acting career is ending doesn’t mean you won’t see the star soaking up the spotlight on other platforms. In 2013, Lange confirmed in an interview with Huffington Post that she would partake in “one or two movies” and “hopefully a play” after departing "American Horror Story."
“I feel like maybe then it's time to start something brand new in life. I just don't want to keep doing what I've been doing. Not that I don't love it because I do. It's been one of the great passions in my life, but I also feel like I want to try something I've never done before,” she stated.
We’ve also theorized that although Lange will no longer star in the terrifying series, it’s very possible that she could return for a cameo appearance in future episodes of “AHS,” like Lily Rabe, considering the installments are intertwined with one another.
“They’re all connected. We’re just beginning to tell you how they’re connected,” co-creator Ryan Murphy confessed to Entertainment Weekly in October regarding the interlacing of “AHS.” “They’re all very separate but there’s clues every season that we’re now telling you how the different worlds are intertwined.”
We can’t wait to see how Lange’s characters connect to the future installments of “AHS.” In honor of the actress, we’ve rounded up the best and sassiest quotes said by Lange throughout her four seasons on the FX drama. Check them out below:
