Grammy winning singer-actress Patti LaBelle is joining the cast of “American Horror Story: Freak Show,” playing the mother of Queenie, Gabourey Sidibe’s character, as reported by TVLine.
The site describes her character as “a local townsperson who begins to unravel the murderous secrets of Twisty the clown killer.”
Returning to the show are Angela Bassett, Jessica Lange, Sarah Paulson, Evan Peters, Frances Conroy and Kathy Bates.
Set in Jupiter, Florida, in 1950, “Freak Show” finds Lange playing a German ex-pat who is managing one of the last freak shows in the USA. Her group of freak show performers include Bassett along with Bates, Paulson, Peters, and Conroy – all acts whom Lange’s character has rescued, and who will do anything to make sure that their business sticks around.
Newcomers include Wes Bentley and Michael Chiklis, playing a strongman named Wendell del Tolito who’s married to Bassett’s character, Desiree Dupre.
