Jessica Lange on Everybody's All-American: “...wasting my precious time on a film that has absolutely nothing to do with what I did or what it was meant to be. It's kind of some little dim and faded story of what it could have been.” Bobbie Wygant: Would you work for Taylor Hackford again? “Never in a million years for all the money in China or all the tea in China, all the money in the world I never would.” Bobbie Wygant: Did you feel betrayed? “Sure you do because what's happened is you devote so much of yourself and you give so much time and energy to a situation and it really is like a slap in the face. Because obviously there's not the respect to be able to take someone's work and just kind of throw it out the window. But then I you know it wasn't personally he threw the whole film out the window. (laughter)”
that is not true the movie that really brought jessica lange into hollywood was king kong. it was her first movie, and that movie really gave have her notice in hollywood, it was made for $20 million, and it collected $100 million at the box office. so it was a successful movie.
She doesn't know how big she is. She's soooo down to earth
Jessica is an icon and a certified Queen. Wonder if she knew at the time of the interview.
Wish TCM would show this or prime would make it available. Such a great movie
Did not expect her to be so candid about All American
fantastic interview!!!

Incredible movie. I saw it decades ago. How can I find it now???
Very limited supply. Some BLURAYS but none with subtitles for the Hungarian scenes but most of the movie is in English.
Great interview! 4:50 Wow, she totally trashes Everybody's All American. Now I have to see it to see why it's so bad! Loved Music Box though!
She still has a slight Minnesota accent here.
