OK, so what's next?

She's talented, she's selective, she's respected but not "A" list. And she needs to break out of her typecast role as a distant, powerful but vulnerable woman and appear in something totally unexpected. How about a guest stint on WALKING DEAD?!!! The creators of MAD MEN should put her in a new series too. Maybe David Lynch might cast her in the TWIN PEAKS.

Do you think another TV project is her next move? Hopefully it won't be too long in coming. Guess its time for me to finally watch MASKED & ANONYMOUS and NEVERWAS.

Would still love to see her do something with Sigourney and Meryl. How about you? Sound off please!

She is has a movie coming out soon called wild oats. She was also in a recent movie called the gambler.
I think she plays the vulnerable, crazy characters best though. I think she's not classed as A-list because she keeps herself out of the limelight apart from when she has to promote films.

I hear she is attending paleyfest for AHS season 5 so hopefully that means she is to make a return and isn't retiring from acting. AHS just wouldn't be the same without the Lange.

A cameo in walking dead would be good though, I just hope she appears more on our screens.

Her and meryl would make a brilliant movie two very talented and very different actresses. Just hope they do one before they both retire.
They are like the female de Niro and Pacino

Isn't she going to be starring in a production of "Long Day's Journey Into Night" on Broadway? I've also read Lange may make at least an appearance on Season 5 of "American Horror Story." Unfortunately it definitely sounds as if she'll be taking some time off, perhaps after her Broadway production wraps, but I hope Jessica will decide to return to films and television at some point in the future in some capacity. I agree with you it would be wonderful to see Lange and Streep work together. You know what they say? Dreams do come true (sometimes!) Here's hoping...
