Lily Rabe is an American actress best known for her mesmerizing multiple roles on the FX anthology horror series American Horror Story, which has cemented her place as a household name in the world of horror television. With her versatility and range, she has brought to life a diverse array of characters, from the mysterious Sister Mary Eunice to the eerie Misty Day, leaving audiences alike captivated by her performances.
Born on June 29, 1982, in New York City's Upper West Side, Lily Rabe is the daughter of playwright David Rabe and actress Jill Clayburgh. Her family's rich artistic heritage and mixed religious background – her father is Roman Catholic, her maternal grandfather was Jewish, and her maternal grandmother was Protestant – likely influenced her inclination towards the performing arts from an early age.
Rabe was raised in Bedford, New York, before moving to Lakeville, Connecticut, in seventh grade, where she attended the prestigious Hotchkiss School. Her early exposure to dance, which she studied for ten years, would eventually lead her to discover her true calling as an actress.
It was during her time at the Hotchkiss School that Rabe was approached by an acting instructor to perform a monologue in a summer arts program. Her rendition of a monologue from Beth Henley's play Crimes of the Heart sparked a realization within her, and she knew that acting was her true passion.
Rabe went on to study acting at Northwestern University, graduating in 2004. Her professional stage debut came soon after, alongside her mother in the Gloucester Stage Company in Massachusetts, where she starred in two one-act plays.
Rabe's performance as Portia in the Broadway production of The Merchant of Venice earned her a nomination for the Tony Award for Best Actress in a Play, a testament to her talent and dedication to her craft.
In addition to her work on American Horror Story, Rabe has appeared in a range of films, including What Just Happened (2008), All Good Things (2010), Pawn Sacrifice (2014), Miss Stevens (2016), Golden Exits (2017), Vice (2018), Fractured (2019), and The Tender Bar (2021).
Her television credits include roles in The Whispers (2015), The Undoing (2020), The Underground Railroad (2021), and The First Lady (2022).
Lily Rabe's unique ability to immerse herself in a wide range of characters has left an indelible mark on the world of horror television. Her contributions to American Horror Story, in particular, have cemented her status as a modern-day scream queen, inspiring a new generation of actors and horror enthusiasts alike.
