American horror story hotel American Horror Story: Freak Show drew a lot of inspiration from history and several of Coven's most memorable characters are based on real figures, and the current season of American Horror Story is already continuing the tradition! Recently, we learned that Lily Rabe is taking on a controversial serial killer for Hotel. Check out the characters throughout each season who are based on real people, murderers, and stories. Beware: this is not for the faint of heart. Season 1: Elizabeth Short, aka The Black Dahlia Mena Suvari guest-starred on the very first season of American Horror Story as Elizabeth Short, the woman who would become infamously known as The Black Dahlia. Though parts of her story were fabricated for the show, The Black Dahlia murder is very much real. Short was a 22-year-old aspiring actress who was brutally murdered in 1947. Her body was chopped in half, and her killer carved up the sides of her mouth, giving her what's known as a "Glasgow smile." Her murderer was never identified.
