Jessica Lange Joins AMERICAN HORROR STORY Pilot

According to Deadline.com, Broadway veteran Jessica Lange has joined the cast of Ryan Murphy's new FX pilot 'American Horror Story.' Lange will star opposite previously announced Connie Britton and Denis O'Hare.

Though the general concept of the show remains unknown, the pilot will feature 'two main characters, Ben Harmon, a sensitive therapist, and Vivien Harmon (Britton), his gorgeous wife who is a force to be reckoned with. Lange will play their nosy neighbor,' as described by Deadline. Murphy will direct the pilot.

In 1992, Lange made her Broadway-theatre début in New York City opposite Alec Baldwin in Tennessee Williams's A Streetcar Named Desire. She appeared in the West End in London, United Kingdom, in 2000, as Mary Tyrone in Eugene O'Neill's Long Day's Journey Into Night. In 2005, she returned to Broadway in another Tennessee Williams play, The Glass Menagerie with Christian Slater. With 2 Academy Awards won and 6 nominations, she may be most notable for her performances in Frances, Tootsie, Sweet Dreams, Blue Sky, and Grey Gardens.
