The Beauty of Retrospect, July Actress Edition: Jessica Lange

So what has Jessica Lange been doing since I last featured her in March 2012?

Plenty.  She may be remembered as a young ingenue from the late seventies and the early eighties, but guess what - Jessica Lange is grown up now! 

One of her more notable movie roles in the past six years and change was as the aunt of a sexually repressed girl in Second Empire Paris in 2013's In Secret, and she also played the mother of a college professor addicted to gambling in 2014's The Gambler (a remake of a 1974 movie of the same name).        

Jessica Lange has done more interesting work on TV, however, as she continued to play different roles in FX's "American Horror Stories" . . . and just wrapped a miniseries about the feud between Bette Davis and Joan Crawford as part of FX's ongoing anthology series "Feud."

Ms. Lange plated Joan Crawford. 

And she's as likely to become as big a legend.
