Actress Lange breaks collar bone

Jessica Lange
Lange's long-term partner is US actor and playwright Sam Shepard

Oscar-winning actress Jessica Lange has been hospitalised after breaking her collar bone at her home in Minnesota.

The 59-year-old also bruised her ribs and cut her forehead after falling from the steps of her house in Duluth, her representative Leslee Dart revealed.

According to her spokeswoman, the star - who won Academy Awards in 1983 and 1995 for her roles in Tootsie and Blue Sky - "will be completely fine".

The actress, she continued, "expects to be released from hospital imminently."

Lange appears with Drew Barrymore in the HBO movie Grey Gardens, to be premiered in the US next month.

Her other films include The Postman Always Rings Twice with Jack Nicholson, Patsy Cline biopic Sweet Dreams and the 1976 version of King Kong.
