![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Along with a slew of nominations for the rest of the cast and crew, Feud scored Lange yet another Emmy nomination. Playing Joan Crawford in a zeitgeist-capturing season of Ryan Murphy’s Feud only did good things for Lange’s thriving, largely Ryan Murphy-powered career as a queen of gothic television. It took real courage for Jessica Lange to tackle the role of Joan Crawford in Feud, the much buzzed-about FX sensation about Crawford’s rivalry with fellow diva Bette Davis (Susan Sarandon) and how it informed the making of their joint comeback vehicle Whatever Happened to Baby Jane?įew roles are as associated with a screen icon as Faye Dunaway is with the role of Crawford, who she unforgettably played in the 1981 melodrama Mommie Dearest. Then again, in 2009 Lange scored some of the best reviews of her auspicious career, as well as a whole drawer full of awards, most notably an Emmy for outstanding Lead Actress in a Miniseries or Movie, for playing Edith Ewing Bouvier/"Big Edie" in the television movie adaptation of Grey Gardens. So Lange has a surprisingly stellar track record playing queer icons cultists are fiercely protective of. ![]()
