Jessica Lange recently hinted that she is planning to retire as she feels "creativity is secondary now to corporate profits" in the Hollywood film industry. Lange is known for her appearances in American Horror Story and her net worth currently stands at $20 million, as per Celebrity Net Worth.
While speaking to The Telegraph on October 5, 2023, Lange said that she is going to "start phasing out of filmmaking." She was asked if she was "actually thinking of retiring," and she responded:
"I am. I don’t think I’ll do this too much longer. Creativity is secondary now to corporate profits. The emphasis becomes not on the art or the artist or the storytelling. It becomes about satisfying your stockholders. It diminishes the artist and the art of filmmaking."
Lange stated that "wonderful films" by great filmmakers with good stories and characters are rare. She also seemingly criticized superhero films and said:
"I'm not interested in these big comic-book franchise films. I think that they've sacrificed this art that we've been involved in … for the sake of profit."
