Jessica Lange Confirms No More AMERICAN HORROR STORY: 'I'm Done'

Variety reports that Emmy winning actress Jessica Lange has confirmed reports that she will not return for the upcoming installment of FX's AMERICAN HORROR STORY. The actress has appeared on Ryan Murphy's anthology series for the past four seasons.

The actress announced the news at this weekend's Paleyfest, declaring "I'm done," when asked by a panel moderator about her possible return. "We've had a great run here. I have absolutely loved doing these four characters that I've had the opportunity to play, and in all madness, I love the writers and Ryan and the insanity of shooting it," she added.

The news comes as no surprise as Lange has long teased that last season's 'Freak Show' installment would mark her swan song with the series.

Lange was the recipient of the 2014 Emmy Award for 'Outstanding Lead Actress In A Miniseries Or A Movie' for her role on FX's AMERICAN HORROR STORY: COVEN. The award marked Lange's third Emmy win, the first for HBO's GREY GARDENS, and also for 'AHS.'

Acclaimed as one of the greatest actresses of her generation, Lange has dazzled on the screen with over thirty credits to her name. She made her Hollywood debut in John Guillermin's King Kong opposite Jeff Bridges and Charles Grodin, winning a Golden Globe for Best Acting Debut in a Motion Picture. She then permanently put her name on the map by receiving dual Academy Award and Golden Globe nominations in the same year for her challenging performances in Frances and inSydney Pollack's memorable comedy Tootsie starring opposite Dustin Hoffman, for which she took home the Oscar for Supporting Actress. Lange won her second Oscar for her starring role in Blue Sky, opposite Tommy Lee Jones.

Lange has since amazed audiences with dynamic performances in such films as Country, opposite Sam Shepard for which she earned Oscar and Golden Globe nominations; Sweet Dreams and Music Box, both of which garnered her Academy Award nominations; the TV adaptation of A Streetcar Named Desire, for which she was nominated for an Emmy Award; Martin Scorsese's Cape Fear; Rob Roy withLiam Neeson; Tim Burton's Big Fish;Jim Jarmusch's Broken Flowers, among many, many others.

She recently wrapped Rupert Wyatt's The Gambler, also starring Mark Wahlberg and Brie Larson, and is currently in production on the Andy Tennant film Wild Oats, as well as her fourth season of American Horror Story.
