If anyone knows how to work a red carpet, it's Jessica Lange. The 77-year-old actress looked radiant as she stepped out in New York for the screening of Ryan Murphy's American Horror Story: 13, in which she reprises all four of her iconic characters: Constance Langdon, Sister Jude, Fiona Goode, and Elsa Mars.
The two-time Oscar winner is a Hollywood icon thanks to her stellar career, which began with her breakout performance in the 1976 film King Kong. Dino De Laurentiis cast the actress to play a damsel-in-distress in the iconic movie, which was a box office success but received a mixed critical reception.
