American Horror Story: Hotel Reveals Angela Bassett’s Master Plan What’s your Reaction? +1 0 +1 0 +1 0 +1 0 +1 0 Facebook Twitter Email A horror series set in an eerie hotel in downtown Los Angeles. It took American Horror Story: Hotel long enough, but the FX drama finally introduced Angela Bassett’s character on Wednesday. And honey, our new queen has arrived! After going on a junkie binge, Donovan (Matt Bomer) is abducted by Bassett’s Ramona Royale, who promptly declares her master plan like some sort of cartoon villain. As she recounts, Ramona was a Blaxploitation actress in the late ’70s, starring in such B-movie hits as Slaughter Sister, Silky Fine and The Bride of Blackenstein. But when all of Ramona’s attempts to become a serious actress failed, she was considering sleeping with a producer whom she was meeting with at the Cortez. That’s when the Countess (Lady Gaga) swooped in to save the diva in distress.
