FRANKA POTENTE: I got asked to take a general meeting with (show co-creator) Ryan Murphy. So, I went to the Paramount lot and met him in his very nice office, and I didn’t really expect anything until he went right ahead and was talking about a really awesome, cool part that he had for me, but he didn’t tell me too much. There was really no script, at the time, but I was a fan of the first season of American Horror Story, and I said that I would be a part of anything that he was envisioning for me.
