Bassett Picks Favorite AHS Role: Marie Laveau

Angela Bassett has expressed a clear favorite among her four distinct roles on Ryan Murphy's "American Horror Story." The acclaimed actress, who appeared in five seasons, named Marie Laveau as her preferred character. Laveau, a Voodoo queen, was first introduced in the "Coven" season and later reappeared in "Apocalypse."

While the "American Horror Story" depiction of Marie Laveau leans into myth, the character is historically inspired by a real individual. This influential figure once held significant prominence in New Orleans, adding a layer of historical depth to the fictional portrayal.
