American Horror Story: Asylum draws to a close, one of the most shocking moments has been Sr. Mary Eunice’s fall from the top of the staircase. With just a little push from Monsignor O'Hara, the good sister and the devil fell together to their deaths.
“I think the way that she dies [is] more of an assisted suicide,” explained actress Lily Rabe, “a consensual death with the Monsignor. And I think that she’s certainly trying to free herself and also get this devil that she has become away from everyone else.”
In a way, Sr. Mary seized control, if only for a moment. Rabe feels that “it is her most heroic moment and also her only choice at that point.”
Will Rabe return to AHS for season three? She won’t say.
“I have no idea,” claims the actress. “I can’t say a word. I’m so sorry. I know it’s such a boring interview sometimes with us at
American Horror Story, I just can’t say a word.
“I would certainly love to be back, that’s for sure. It’s such a great job.”
Rabe recently spoke with journalists about her experience playing a possessed nun and working with such a talented cast. Check out the transcript of that conversation and don’t miss the final episodes Wednesdays on FX.
