Why Jessica Lange Couldn’t Save Sam Shepard | Rumour Juice

[@monkeyman2407]

Lange is one of a handful of actors that continues to get stronger during the course of her practicing her craft. She just keeps giving incredible performances & I love her for that :)

What is 30 years together, a failure? A tragedy? They chose their paths, which finally took them apart, but that's not a failure. That's their story, and that's their business.

[@marilyn6556]

I love the way you stated this!

[@melinaesposito3434]

Exactly, you're emotionally intelligent. Not mistakes, just choices.

[@garyonbroadway1919]

I agree; 30 years of choosing to stay together can be many things, but failure ain't one of'em. Emotional Hostage Situations, not included. They can appear to be consensual but dig deeper and there's usually an anchor that both may not even be aware of; perhaps that's because very few parents have mature, adult conversations with their kids about what "Love" means to them and what they value in a relationship, and manage to do so without pushing their agendas along with their views. I was fortunate to know them professionally, and I think "dull moments" were rare when they were together. Triple AAA Celebrity status without any of the high maintenance most expect.

I followed Shepard for years and read many of his books and plays. I even have a signed first edition of Hawk Moon by him. The Motel Chronicles was another good book by him. He was abused by his father. He was a charming intelligent guy but who also seemed to have a mean streak and a coldness to him that you see in a lot of men who were battered and physically and emotionally abused by their fathers.

This feels like a message for me. I'm 8 years into a similar relationship, but still have time to make a better life for myself, old as I am. Better to see it clearly now than spend 30 years in heartbreak. It doesn't matter how amazing a person is if they don't know how to love. No amount of loving them will teach or help them, they have to want it for themselves. Even then, some people are unfortunately too far gone and just infect everything around them with their dysfunction. It's very hard to let go but it is the more loving thing. God doesn't pander to us when we falter. We love other people and hold them to a higher standard by loving ourselves properly.

[@brendadrew834]

An interesting yet complex relationship and lives. I've read Johnny Dark's book on Shepard whose own father was also an alcoholic., so it's epigenetic, meaning it gets passed on from one generation to the next. Also in the Bible, "The sins of the father are visited upon the son". Read also that Jessica broke her collar bone and arm after falling down the stairs. Not attibuted to Shepard's drinking? A couple of other things that Shepard mentioned was that "men lie", so he may have been lying about that incident which has been covereed up in the media and that "the great American tragedy is that families fall apart", which we see all the time, not just in Hollywood, either. After my 42 year marriage ended in widowhood, I can relate to some of this. Not trying to stereotype, but it's a known fact that a great many actors/writers have been and are alcoholics if one knows the great Irish writers/actors as well as American ones and others from other ethnic backgrounds! Shepard also stated he couldn't live anywhere east of the Hudson River, so after they moved to NYC, he probably felt out of place and then bought a horse farm in Kentucky. Lange also stated that when they broke up it felt like a divorce so it doesn't matter whether there's a legal paper involved of not, feelings are feelings. I love what the French Parisian women say that learn this from their mother's knee from the time they're little girls, "It never ends well"! You either break up after an affair, go through a divorce after getting married or end up a widow or widower, so enjoy it while it lasts if you can! They're very pragmatic about love relationships which most of their French films are about! Experts on the topic! Lange probably has had her own co-dependent traits as well! Their personalities attracted each other i.e. their passion, but it was hard to hold that relationship together along with their other personality traits, "for better or worse"! I'm sure she also felt like a widow when her beloved Sam passed away from Lou Gehrig disease, ALS! May he rest in peace.

You can't have a healthy relationship with an addict of any sort. Addictions are usually signs of underlying trauma, like in this case, his father's drinking. We usually get in relationships with eole as healthy or unhealthy as we are.

[@seriouslyjoking2]

@@brianwalsh1401 You are so right. No one can have a healthy relationship with someone who is UNhealthy. However, I don't agree with you on how addicts become addicts. I know one who became an addict due to mental health issues as well as traumas. When they become clean, that is when the mental health issues are discovered...as well as the traumas & other unhealthy behaviors. This will never change as the sick parent will create trauma or not address trauma/mental health issues when it occurs passing on the generational behaviors. Alcoholism is a coping mechanism for not necessarily a physical addiction.

[@brianwalsh1401]

@@seriouslyjoking2 I'm an addict. I have an addictive personality. My parents were both addicts. My siblings are all addicts. It doesn't have to be drugs or alcohol to be an addict. I think most addictions develop in childhood from not having your needs met and or abuse of some sort. Dysfunction is passed down from generation to generation. I think there are other ways, like you mention, that addiction can occur but I think most are caused by having a hole in your soul that we try and fill up with addictions that will never do it. We have to work on our issues and unresolved pain.

After Shepherd died, Jessica was asked for a comment, she could only say what a complicated man he was.

[@Kcolaneri1]

I wouldn’t label it ‘traffic’.

Typical Scorpio and Taurus connection.

You have to love a lot to spend three decades with a person with addictions and ignorance. This is not for me because I love myself always first...

No one can save anyone. It's a fantasy.

Sam was lucky to have her and put up with him!

[@MeTreesndirt]

What a epic love. Kept the ring?

[@richardmcleod1930]

Oh, this story gets boring.

[@shanecomeback8296]

A real tragedy

[@oceansoflorewi]

After making so many BORING movies (lol) Her American Horror arc really did seal her legacy. Its stiff baffling to me how she gave up that project after only 4 years (AHS Apocalypse doesn't count) and continues to talk down to the series. She can waste years on a toxic relationship yet not commit to the best project shes ever done. What a shame!

[@bernie4hs9]

That Canadian or northern state accent of the narrator is distracting. 👂

Were the two kids he was there whence born his?

Drunk. He knew he could have both women and booze.

Sexiest woman in the world at the time

Or any time!

He looked like an alcoholic!

[@peggyrannick7812]

I never found him interesting or handsome, poor couple

[@lupepena8138]

Of course the relationship didn't last ,it didn't start honorably!

[@roberthenleynola]

Sort of quick to judge, aren't you? I would say that "honor" is in the eye of the beholder.

[@hmorton490]

@@roberthenleynola What part of cheating on your wife that you were with for 10 years and had a child with has honor in it? Everyone has a different idea of what honor is, to this person and myself it was not honorable. If you don’t think so, that’s you. But people are allowed to feel like that was not good.
