At PaleyFest on Thursday, 77‑year‑old Oscar winner Jessica Lange described FX as “f‑king cheap” for not providing a car service to the cast of American Horror Story Season 3 while they filmed in New Orleans.
What happened
Lange told fans that the cast had to drive themselves home in the early morning hours after filming, often parking on streets in the French Quarter and finding their way back without assistance. She said the crew would finish around 4:00 or 5:00 a.m. and then “park on some street in the French Quarter and find our way home.” The actress added that despite the inconvenience she “had a good time” shooting in New Orleans.
What the reports add
Page Six noted that Lange’s comments were captured on video by a fan and quickly went viral. Social‑media users praised her for speaking out, with one joking about people seeing her walking the streets at 4 a.m. The outlet reported that FX’s representatives had not responded to a request for comment.
What was said
“We had to drive ourselves,” Lange said, adding “Because they were too f‑king cheap.” She repeated the anecdote about driving home at 4 a.m. and parking in the French Quarter. Co‑star Sarah Paulson laughed and clapped but did not comment further. The article also quoted Lange’s earlier explanation for returning to Season 13, saying she would consider coming back if she could play all four of her original characters and work with former castmates.
How it came about
Lange’s remarks came during a panel at PaleyFest, where she discussed both the logistical issues of Season 3 production and her decision to rejoin the series for Season 13, which premiered in September and set a streaming record according to Felo News’s earlier coverage of the show’s debut.
