Jessica Lange teased to Rolling Stone that her retirement from acting is likely coming soon. The Oscar winner returned to film and television this year with the releases of “Long Day’s Journey into Night” and “American Horror Story 13,” respectively, but that might be it for the 77-year-old icon.

“I actually feel like I’m coming to an end,” Lange answered when asked about what projects she still wants to tackle as an actor. “Maybe it’s not a bad way to end, that last film being ‘Long Day’s Journey Into Night’ and playing Mary Tyrone. There are a couple projects that have been in the works forever that may or may not happen. I don’t know. It doesn’t seem easy to get things made anymore. At least not the kind of films that interest me.”
