Since beginning his career in 1999, Ryan Murphy has produced numerous critically praised series and associated franchises.
Pose, the brainchild of Murphy, has accomplished miracles, from the most popular horror TV program in the world, American Horror Story, to one of the most inclusive TV programs.
In addition to Lone Star and Nip/Tuck, he also created Glee, Scream Queens, American Crime Story, Ratched, and American Horror Stories.
He is perhaps one of Hollywood’s greatest television writers, directors, and producers.
It comes as no surprise that Murphy has received recognition through Tony Awards, Golden Globe Awards, and Primetime Emmy Awards.
Murphy has a talent for both writing and directing stories, and he also knows how to bring out the greatest qualities in his cast members.
His portrayal of Frances Conroy’s eye damage in Murder House, the first season of American Horror Story, serves as the best illustration of this.
Injury to Frances Conroy’s eye
Since 1979, Conroy has worked as an actor in the entertainment sector to great success. Six Feet Under, Casual, Mist, and Joker are just a few of the nearly 90 credits she has to her name.
Along with her acting prowess, the veteran actress’s two-toned eyes provide another complexity to her depictions.
Conroy, regrettably, did not naturally possess it; rather, a terrifying vehicle accident gave it to him. She was involved in a serious vehicle accident, and her face sustained physical damage as a result, according to IMDb.
Her right eye looks glassy and light-colored because the cornea in that eye was damaged. Fortunately, colored lenses make it simple to conceal this type of corneal scarring.
Conroy typically covers her eye injury with a lens, unless specifically instructed otherwise.
Frances Conroy was asked by Ryan Murphy not to wear glasses.
Conroy first saw the world of American Horror Story in the first episode. She took on the character of a ghost maid stuck in a haunted mansion who was an older version of Moira O’Hara.
Even though O’Hara is only a ghost, she has the ability to change her shape, which allows her to appear either young or old depending on who she is meeting. O’Hara’s visage is unaltered in the younger version of herself.
She received a gunshot wound to the eye, which caused her to pass away and become permanently locked inside the home. Based on Conroy’s eye damage, the plot of O’Hara’s life and death was developed.
Murphy so requested that she not hide her eye for the part. He used his writing wizardry to fit the actress’ sad situation into the narrative.
Conroy was nominated for two awards: the Primetime Emmy for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Miniseries or a Movie and her first Saturn Award nomination for Best Supporting Actress on Television.
After Murder House, Conroy appeared in seven additional seasons of the program as The Angel of Death in Asylum, Myrtle Snow in Coven, Gloria Mott in Freak Show, Mama Polk in Roanoke, Bebe Babbitt in Cult, and Double Feature in Double Feature (Belle Noir).
