The Many Men of JESSICA LANGE

Bob Fosse, Mikhail Baryshnikov, Sam Shepard. There are rumors she was a Hollywood call girl after "King Kong"...

I wouldn't call three men many men. She was with Shepard for decades. Never heard of her fucking around on him even though they were notorious boozers . She did love Mikhail . Fosse was probably just a dalliance. I think the call girl rumors are just that. Rumors.

In Sam Shepard's published letters, he writes of putting Lange through a lot of shit and that she had reached the point where she was "done with it".

Many claim that the fall she took in her Minnesota cabin back in '09 which resulted in a broken collarbone was the result of an altercation with a drunken Shepard.

She used to go out on the town with Lange while she was shooting season 1 of AHS (because, according to Paulson, "She's never been LA and wanted company." She'd then call the paparazzi behind her back so they'd be waiting for them as they exited whatever restaurant, usually the Chateau.

She fucked her way to fame and fortune. She only slept with the most famous and powerful men. It was so obvious what she was doing. Her acting career was not insignificant when she was a young woman, but it didn't amount to all that much. But her liaisons! Those were all of the most advantageous kind.

They gave her exposure and visibility. Besides that they were men with a lot of prestige, something that she wanted too much. The bitch succeeded and had the talent to draw a career out of it.

by Anonymousreply 35February 19, 2017 12:23 AM

R35 How about they were just attracted to her?

Remember, she landed "King Kong" while modeling part time and waitressing at The Lion's Head. No men, no Hollywood connections - nothing.

Also, many people don't know this, but Dino initially didn't want to screen her. It was a cameraman who took pity in her and shot her test.

The rest is history.

by Anonymousreply 36February 19, 2017 12:51 AM

Make no mistake about it. Koing Kong destroyed her career. She was an exceptionally attractive woman, but the talent was not seen at the time. Bob Fosse, Baryshnikov, and Sam Shepard were incredibly successful and important men when she met them. Nothing much in that, but it's the rule in show biz: an important man opens doors. Just ask Diane Keaton

by Anonymousreply 37February 19, 2017 1:05 AM

When she started her 'modelling' career in Europe she shared an apartment with Grace Jones and Jerry Hall (!) So I think Jess was getting around long before "King Kong."

by Anonymousreply 38February 19, 2017 1:11 AM

She got the role in "All That Jazz" because she was fucking Fosse. Baryshnikov did cheat on her during their relationship, with crazies like Liza Minnelli and Gelsey Kirkland. She and Shepard stayed together a long time but inevitably that ended too. I'm pretty sure she's fucked more than those three, and Milos Forman. They just weren't big names.

by Anonymousreply 39February 19, 2017 1:13 AM

Saw King Kong on the big screen when I was 8 years old and could not get her out of my head -- the gayness started because of Jessica Lange.

My guess is she was with the above mentioned men not to be a total climber, but because they seem to be more sophisticated and evolved than most other king kong-like dudes, i.e., like her. She's intelligent, lived in Paris when she was young, etc...miming notwithstanding ;-)

And I think she has steadily improved her acting over the years. Love her.

Mikhail Baryshnikov was like a beautiful Adonis and the It Boy when Jessica got involved with him. He was the best male ballet dancer around and I remember how women--and men--swooned over his good looks. Jessica wasn't as popular then.

Sam Shepherd was a better fit though...and taller.

Maybe they just wanted to fuck her., because that version of "King Kong" was an embarrassment to all involved. That scene where she has an orgasm from the giant simian blowing his monkey breath on her is especially laughable.

Sam Shepherd was drop dead gorgeous and a talented playwright. Plus he was American and taller than her, so they were a better fit together. There were a lot of rumors of Baryshnikov sleeping around as women threw themselves at him.

Basically, Jones consoled Lange who felt chewed up and spit out by Hollywood after her debut. It's a very sweet moment.

The Marilyn Monroe Poem

I have come to claim

Marilyn Monroe's body

for the sake of my own.

dig it up, hand it over,

cram it in this paper sack.

hubba. hubba. hubba.

look at those luscious

long brown bones, that wide and crusty

pelvis. ha HA, oh she wanted so much to be serious

but she never stops smiling now.

Has she lost her mind?

Marilyn, be serious - they're taking

your picture, and they're taking the pictures

of eight young women in New York City

who murdered themselves for being pretty

by the same method as you, the very

next day, after you!

I have claimed their bodies too,

they smile up out of my paper sack

like brainless cinderellas.

the reporters are furious, they're asking

me questions

what right does a woman have

to Marilyn Monroe's body? and what

am I doing for lunch? They think I

mean to eat you. Their teeth are lurid

and they want to pose me, leaning

on the shovel, nude. Don't squint.

But when one of the reporters comes too close

I beat him, bust his camera

with your long, smooth thigh

and with your lovely knucklebone

I break his eye.

Long ago you wanted to write poems;

Be serious, Marilyn

I am going to take you in this paper sack

around the world, and

write on it: - the poems of Marilyn Monroe -

Dedicated to all princes,

the male poets who were so sorry to see you go,

before they had a crack at you.

They wept for you, and also

they wanted to stuff you

while you still had a little meat left

in useful places;

but they were too slow.

Now I shall take them my paper sack

and we shall act out a poem together:

"How would you like to see Marilyn Monroe,

in action, smiling, and without her clothes?"

We shall wait long enough to see them make familiar faces

and then I shall beat them with your skull.

hubba. hubba. hubba. hubba. hubba.

Marilyn, be serious

Today I have come to claim your body for my own.

Judy Grahn
