EXCLUSIVE: Six Feet Under alumna Frances Conroy and Alexandra Breckenridge (Life Unexpected) have been tapped for a role (yes, a role) in FX’s drama pilot American Horror Story, from Glee co-creators Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk. The spooky project centers on Ben Harmon (Dylan McDermott), a handsome therapist who, along with his wife (Connie Britton) and their kids, move into a new house. Conroy will play their housekeeper, while Breckenridge will play an younger version of the character. Both Conroy and Breckenridge starred in broadcast pilots this season, Conroy in the ABC comedy Bad Mom and Breckenridge in the CW drama Cooper and Stone.

It’s about time Frances Conroy returned to my tv screen. Happy for her!
Seems like a lot of coverage of this pilot is pussyfooting around the huge and possibly controversial twist at the center of the show. No spoilers but what is FX’s gameplan for selling this to advertisers?
