BRONXVILLE, N.Y. - Oscar-winner Jessica Lange bashed the Bush administration and denounced the war in Iraq during a commencement address at Sarah Lawrence College.

The star of "Tootsie" and "Blue Sky" was applauded by students Friday at the small liberal arts college after comparing the conflict with the Vietnam War. She said the graduates have "a heavy burden" to chart a new path for the country.

"We are living in an America that, in the last seven and a half years, has waged an unnecessary war, established prison camps, condoned torture, employed corporate armies, eliminated the right of habeas corpus, practiced extraordinary rendition, and believe me, this is only a partial list," Lange said.

Lange asked the graduates, including her 22-year-old daughter Hannah Shepard, to commit themselves to the "pursuit of peace."

The high point of her career was 'Tootsie'?  I was in grade school when that movie came out.

Welcome to irrelevance, Jess.

I thought she was good in the remake of Cape Fear, but she's really past her prime.  Her talent wasn't long-lasting like, say, Meryl Streep. 

However, irregardless of her acting abilities -- she could be the most talented actress out there -- how does that translate into any special knowledge of/respected opinion regarding international politics.  Why would anyone suppose her opinion is any more important or correct than that of a wino on the streets?

She looked good getting rolled around in flour in "The Postman Always Rings Twice".

Ironically, Americans were being held hostage by Iran while that remake was being filmed.

She was gang banged in Francis. Maybe the cast wasn't acting and she was screwed silly.
