Jessica Lange Disses AHS: 'Never Watched It!'
9 Oct
Summary
- Jessica Lange admitted she has never watched American Horror Story.
- She criticized the show's production for being 'too cheap.'
- Lange expressed doubt about her continued involvement in the series.
During a recent PaleyFest panel, American Horror Story star Jessica Lange made a surprising confession: she has never watched any of the series. Despite her prominent role, Lange admitted she rarely engaged with the show's content, even calling out production for being 'too cheap' during filming of Freak Show. She recalled challenging early morning shoots and constant script rewrites, indicating a frustration with the production process.
Lange also shared her thoughts on playing Margaret Thatcher, describing the character as a 'miserable, monstrous human being.' While acknowledging the contributions of creator Ryan Murphy and the show's ensemble cast, she candidly stated that "certain stories were better than others." She expressed skepticism about the series' longevity and her own future involvement, suggesting that she believed the current season was intended to conclude the show's run.
Fellow cast members, including Sarah Paulson and Gabourey Sidibe, responded with a mix of amusement and defiance to Lange's blunt assessments. Sidibe playfully defended the show's 'high camp' nature, even disagreeing with Paulson's negative review of the Roanoke season. Despite Lange's apparent desire to depart, some cast members, like Billie Lourd and Lou Eyrich, believe the Coven sequel storyline is far from over, hinting at further developments beyond what Lange expected.
