Makes me sad

That Lange, once a quintessential A list actress of the 80s and 90s, has faded out, much like many of her contemporaries unfortunately. Meryl Streep is a very rare exception because no one is quite as talented as her nor as versitile while also aging gracefully. Lange had a fortunate and unlikely gift of resurrection in AHS that got her some TV praise at least and juicy roles. It's astonishing looking back at her prime day filmography with Frances, Cape Fear, Rob Roy (that rape scene alone is worth the whole film), The Postman Always Rings Twice, Losing Isaiah, Blue Sky, Men Don't Leave, Sweet Dreams, Country, and Music Box (which I just saw again recently and once again Lange blew me away), hell, even the poorly reviewed but brilliantly acted A Thousand Acres! It just makes me a little sad of what was there then and now, and for the last 25 years. All I see for her now that she's done with AHS, for better or worse, is another TV show or a movie (but not the lead), a supporting role in
an obscure little film, or a stage production. And this is not bad at all for 66 year old actress in the female ageist industry. I just really wanted to see her score at least one more Oscar nomination before she retires. Who knows, it might happen, kind of like Sally Field in Lincoln a few years back.
