FX's American Horror Story Casts Mena Suvari-TVLine

American Horror Story is rolling out the welcome mat for a real American beauty.

Mena Suvari has been cast as a young woman who has a connection to the Harmon house.
Wait, it gets better.


The young woman’s nickname? The Black Dahlia. As in the high-profile murder victim whose 1947 unsolved killing was the subject of myriad books and movie adaptations. (It remains unclear if the character will actually go by the name Elizabeth Short.)

Regardless, something tells me AHS co-creators Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk are about to uncork a new (and obviously fictional) theory as to who — or what —was behind Short’s gruesome slaying.

Suvari is set to appear in this season’s ninth episode.
