Sarah Paulson ranked “Roanoke” last among her American Horror Story seasons, saying it was not for her, while naming Lana Winters her favorite character. Ryan Murphy called the season his favorite and praised Paulson’s performance in it.
Paulson also listed Cordelia from “Coven,” Tuberculosis Karen from “Double Feature,” Sally from “Hotel,” and Bette and Dot from “Freak Show” among her favorite roles. In “Roanoke,” she played actress Audrey Tindall and reprised Lana Winters.
The sixth season aired in 2016. It began as a paranormal true-crime mockumentary before shifting to a found-footage format, a change that divided fans. “AHS: 13” is set to premiere Thursday on FX.
