Hollywood icon Jessica Lange, 74, was recently spotted in NYC in a wheelchair, accompanied by Susan Sarandon, 77. Lange’s spokesperson clarified she’s “recovering from a leg injury incurred at a dog park.” Wearing a black puffer jacket, Lange seemed in good spirits, dismissing concerns about her health.
This outing follows Lange’s revelation last October about contemplating retirement. In the interview, she casually mentioned, “I think I’m going to start phasing out of filmmaking.” Citing a shift away from prioritizing creativity in the industry, Lange emphasized today’s focus on corporate profits. She lamented the rarity of producing great, classic works in contrast to the past’s frequent artistic achievements.
Despite her decision to step back from acting, Lange remains an influential figure, addressing industry changes with her characteristic candor.
