- Earlier this year, the “American Horror Story” star shared the unique secret to their enduring relationship.
Born on December 17, 1974, in Tampa, Florida, this Hollywood star rose to fame for her stellar performance in CBS’s supernatural drama “American Gothic” and the Emmy award-winning series “American Horror Story.”

However, this iconic actress’s love life has also caught fans’ attention thanks to her “unconventional” relationships. One of those romances has been her current relationship with a woman over 30 years her senior.
After nearly a decade of being together, the “American Horror Story” star opened up about the unusual secret of her and her partner’s long-lasting relationship.

A Life-Saving Relationship: The Role of Her Fiancé in Detecting Cancer
Before finding love with a much older woman, this Hollywood actress had relationships with both men and women. In fact, when she was 25, she was engaged to actor and playwright Tracy Letts.
Their union was not only a romantic one but a life-saving one as well. In 2000, the “American Horror Story” star was preparing for a trip to Puerto Rico when her then-fiancé urged her to see a dermatologist about a peculiar mole on her back.

The mole, tiny yet ominously black, turned out to be melanoma. “I was 25 years old. Who thought it could happen to me?” the actress recalled, highlighting the shock of her diagnosis.
Growing up in Florida with minimal sun protection and her fair skin increased her risk for melanoma. Fortunately, doctors caught the cancer early.
