Jessica Lange was seen in a wheelchair during a stroll in New York City with Susan Sarandon on Saturday.
In photos obtained by the Daily Mail, the “American Horror Story” actress, 74, was seen being pushed by an unknown woman wearing a red hat as she sat in the wheelchair.
Lange bundled up against the cold weather, wearing a black coat, gray pants, black gloves and a pair of brown cat-eye shades.
Sarandon, 77, walked alongside her longtime friend and “Feud” co-star during the outing, sporting a black leather coat, blue jeans, a scarf, gloves and burgundy shoes.
The “Thelma & Louise” star also wore a black newsboy hat.
A spokesperson for Lange told Page Six in a statement: “Jessica is healthy and well, she is recovering from a leg injury she incurred at a dog park.”
Last year, Lange said she was toying with possibly retiring from acting because she claimed Hollywood is putting profits over creativity.
“Creativity is secondary now to corporate profits,” she told the Telegraph in October 2023. “The emphasis becomes not on the art or the artist or the storytelling. It becomes about satisfying your stockholders. It diminishes the artist and the art of filmmaking.”
Lange said movies such as “big comic-book franchise films” are a big part of why she has no desire to see modern films.

“They’ve sacrificed this art that we’ve been involved in … for the sake of profit. I don’t know if it’s because the filmmakers think that they can’t hold the attention of the audience anymore,” she continued.
“That kind of filmmaking drives me crazy.”
Meanwhile, Sarandon was recently dealing with her own issues when it comes to Hollywood.
The “Stepmom” actress was recently dropped by her agency, UTA, and from consideration of a forthcoming short film after she gave a controversial speech about Jews at a pro-Palestinian protest in NYC last November.
“There are a lot of people afraid of being Jewish at this time, and are getting a taste of what it feels like to be a Muslim in this country,” she said at the rally.
Sarandon has since issued an apology over remarks, saying she feels “deep regret” for “hurting people” with her comments.
“This phrasing was a terrible mistake, as it implies that until recently Jews have been strangers to persecution, when the opposite is true,” she wrote on Instagram Dec. 1.
“I deeply regret diminishing this reality and hurting people with this comment,” she added. “It was my intent to show solidarity in the struggle against bigotry of all kinds, and I am sorry I failed to do so.”
