## Summary

Jessica Lange says she feels her acting career may be nearing its end, and that her latest film, *Long Day’s Journey Into Night*, could be a fitting final role. She cited the limited roles available to older women and the difficulty of getting films made as reasons she is uncertain about future projects.

Lange recently appeared in a dual role in *American Horror Story 13*. She has also been trying to develop a biopic about Marlene Dietrich, focused on how Dietrich moved on after Hollywood lost interest in her, but says it may never happen. *Long Day’s Journey Into Night*, directed by Jonathan Kent and co-starring Ed Harris, Ben Foster and Colin Morgan, was filmed in 2022 and released in the US last month.
