Ryan Murphy adding Joan Collins to American Horror Story, scraps plans for a Monica Lewinsky American Crime Story season

The Hollywood Reporter

Murphy, who optioned the rights to Jeffrey Toobin's book on the Bill Clinton-Monica Lewinsky scandal, says he had second thoughts about turning the scandal into an American Crime Story season, which he revealed to Lewinsky herself. "I told her, 'Nobody should tell your story but you, and it's kind of gross if they do,'" Murphy recalls saying. " 'If you want to produce it with me, I would love that; but you should be the producer and you should make all the goddamn money.'" Murphy also says for the upcoming American Horror Story season, he's "throwing in Joan Collins" and is "interested" in Anjelica Huston.
