Here’s What Jessica Lange Said of Ex-Lover Sam Shepard, Hours Before He Passed

Jessica Lange and Sam Shepard had such an incredible love story. Just before news broke this morning of his death, the actress spoke to AARP The Magazine.

“I wouldn’t call Sammy easygoing and funny, but everybody has their dark side, and he always does it with a sense of humor,” she said of Sam, whom she was with for three decades and shares two children.

The actor passed due to complications from ALS. He’d battled the disease privately. Together they have 31-year old Hannah and 30-year old Samuel. The couple was together from 1982 to 2009.
