NEW YORK - Oscar-winning actress Jessica Lange has been hospitalized after a short fall from her steps at her home near Duluth, Minn.

Lange's representative, Leslee Dart, says the 59-year-old actress bruised her ribs, broke her collarbone and received a small cut on her forehead.

Dart says Lange, who was vacationing when she fell Tuesday, "will be completely fine and expects to be released from the hospital imminently."

Lange co-stars with Drew Barrymore in the HBO film "Grey Gardens."

Report: Jessica Lange falls in Minn. cabin, goes to hospital

By PAUL WALSH, Star Tribune

A month shy of her 60th birthday, Minnesota-born actress Jessica Lange reportedly took a tumble at her Duluth area cabin and suffered a host of injuries.

According to the gossip website tmz.com, Lange grabbed for a railing that was not secure and fell, breaking her shoulder and collarbone and dislocating her arm. She also suffered cuts and needed stitches at a nearby hospital, the website said. TMZ did not report when the fall occurred.

In recent months, she and longtime mate Sam Shepard sold their home in Stillwater. She told the New York Daily News last year that they still own a cabin near Duluth, not far from Cloquet, where she was born in 1949.

2. For those who don't know Duluth is built on one huge hill going up from Lake Superior.

We have had melting and refreezing going on the last 10 days.

3. Glad to hear she will be OK.

Love her.

4. Grey Gardens---the movie? Loved that Doc. I wish Mz. Lange a speedy recovery.

13. I also love the Maysles' Grey Gardens...

and that's why I wish the people doing this remake would leave it alone!

[cynatnite]

5. Blue Sky...her best role was in that movie, IMO. She was brilliant.

Hope she recovers quickly.

6. Where's MrPerson to demand more info about this? He needs to ask

serious questions about why the police haven't announced prosecutions and why her doctors have been keeping secrets about he medical situation.......

MrPerson? Oh MrPerson? Where are you???

7. Why so little information?

A good cop would suspect pushing.

[NeedleCast]

8. This story is very boring without a good celebrity scandal behind it

One should be made up immediately.

9. Shoulder pads or full body armor might have prevented this injury. nt

11. Good thing she was wearing a helmet, right? n/t

12. That drunk Sam Shepard was smacking her around and she fell

How's that?

[kestrel91316]

10. Hell, I think there's a HOMICIDE here.

14. The curse of Rob Roy

Liam Neeson and Jessica Lange starred in Rob Roy.

I wish the best to both actresses and their families. They are both talented and enjoyable to watch.

[mitchum]

15. Damn! So that explains Tim Roth's career of the past several years...

the Rob Roy curse

[gratuitous]

16. That will teach her a lesson

Teri Garr deserved that Oscar, not Jessica Lange!

Why yes, I do sometimes hold a grudge. Why do you ask?

17. Jessica Lange was hospitalized

and you wouldn't be. Them's facts. Neither would be your wife or child. For stitches and a collarbone? Until two tier is considered a crime it will not be. Your child will survive a collarbone break. But until her name don't count for advance medicine or an organ transplant then she too is a parasite.

18. I can tell by your words

you think as I.

I have as much sympathy for the acting class as they would have for me.

Who was it that wrote, "outside of a small circle of friends"?
