Frances Conroy

Conroy was in a car crash once and suffered physical trauma to her face. The cornea of the eye can appear glazed or lighter in color after such trauma. This type of corneal scarring is actually fairly common and easy to hide. She has said that she normally wears a colored lens to hide it. However, Ryan Murphy asked her to not cover it while filming Return to Murder House (2018). He used it as part of Conroy's character (Moira O'Hara)'s storyline. It represented her cause of death, being shot in the eye.

I guess you're happy if you have some kind of balance in you. I'm a human being. I have days when I feel paralyzed, days when I feel like a slug. Then I have days when I have good energy, I've read the newspaper and I've done different things.
