Jessica Lange
An Adventurer's Heart
Jessica Lange: An Adventurer's Heart, the first full-length biography of Lange, presents a comprehensive study of the life and work of an exceptional actress. Beginning with her upbringing in Minnesota, author Anthony Uzarowski traces Lange's formative years as a restless soul who found solace in art and a life on the road before turning to acting. While critics initially questioned her talent, she refused to be dismissed as yet another pretty face. She continued to study her craft and immersed herself in her roles, honing the poignant and emotionally charged performances for which she is renowned.
Lange was introduced to a whole new generation of fans with her acclaimed work in Ryan Murphy's anthology series, American Horror Story. Murphy later created another chance for Lange to shine with his television miniseries, Feud: Bette and Joan, costarring Susan Sarandon.
This meticulously researched and wide-ranging biography also gives a glimpse into Lange's carefully guarded private life: her years as a free-spirited artist in the 1960s, her dedication to motherhood, and her legendary partnership with Sam Shepard, which was one of the most passionate, tumultuous, and secretive long-term relationships in Hollywood.

"This entertaining and thoroughly researched work explores the various facets of Jessica Lange's life and career and paints a loving portrait worthy of a complex woman and artist. The sections detailing her relationship with Sam Shepard are beautiful and heartbreaking and show how complicated and passionate their love for each was, while also showing how their connection was intellectual as well as sexual. Those who only know her from the American Horror Story series will find a great appreciation for her life, artistry, and work."—Marya E. Gates, film writer and critic
