Another newcomer to the AHS world, Lourd played two characters in last season's Cult. One was Winter Anderson, a Hillary Clinton supporter with a fondness for pinky-swear promises and sibling loyalty. The other was Manson family member Linda Kasabian, aka the key witness in the prosecution against Charles Manson for the Tate-LaBianca murders. Lourd told journalists at TCA that she's playing a character named Mallory, but declined to give her a last name. Is that because she doesn't have one or because sharing it would give away an important clue to the family dynamics of AHS Season 8?
