The Untold Truth Of Lily Rabe

May 2024 ยท 1 minute read

Real-life Republican Liz Cheney in "Vice." A mass murderer's ex-girlfriend in "Tell Me Your Secrets." A whole host of troubled and troublesome women in "American Horror Story." As you can probably tell by the roles she's assumed during her career, Lily Rabe isn't particularly interested in taking things easy.

Speaking to Elle in 2021, Rabe revealed why you're unlikely to find her starring in a Hallmark Channel romance anytime soon: "Listen, I love to relax, take a vacation, lay on the beach, read a book, and have a day of doing nothing. That's an actual dream to me, but that's not something I tend to look for in my work."

The actor also explained that the pedigree of the behind-the-scenes team is just as important to her as the script when choosing a new project. And there has to be an element of surprise, too: "If I know going in, 'Oh, this is very clear to me exactly what this experience is going to be, I know exactly what to expect,' that's probably something that's less and less interesting to me." Rabe's commitment to the bats*** insanity of "AHS" suddenly makes a lot more sense.
