J. Kim Murphy Jessica Lange is thinking about retirement. In a candid interview with The Telegraph, the two-time Oscar-winner revealed that she is thinking of “phasing out of filmmaking” and offered some blunt criticism for the entertainment industry’s direction over the past few years.
“Creativity is secondary now to corporate profits,” Lange said. “The emphasis becomes not on the art or the artist or the storytelling. It becomes about satisfying your stockholders.

The actor cited “big comic-book franchise films,” “frantic editing” and ageism as particularly disagreeable elements of the modern business. “They’ve sacrificed this art that we’ve been involved in… for the sake of profit,” Lange continued.
