In the results for the poll run by u/Im_here_for_laughs7, Myrtle Snow, the other "American Horror Story" character to earn Conroy an Emmy nomination, is the obvious winner, although Moira holds a respectable second place. For those who don't know or need a little brush up on your "American Horror Story" knowledge, Myrtle is Conroy's character in the third season, "Coven." As a young witch, Myrtle attends Miss Robichaux's Academy for Exceptional Young Ladies as the main rival of Fiona Goode, played by Jessica Lange, before going on to lead the Witches' Council. Sophisticated and highly fashionable, Myrtle is known for her iconic orange crimped hair, cat eye glasses, and penchant for wearing haute couture.
While Myrtle doesn't have a great fate in "Coven," her death apparently can't keep her away for too long. Myrtle shows up again in the crossover season, "Apocalypse," when she is resurrected by Cordelia Goode (Sarah Paulson) to fight Michael Langdon (Cody Fern). This actually happens to be her second resurrection, but who's counting. Aside from Moira and Myrtle, Conroy also plays Gloria Mott in "Freak Show," the wealthy, ignorant mother to serial killer Dandy Mott (Finn Wittrock), The Angel of Death in "Asylum," and many more, but it's clear that Myrtle is the one that really sticks with fans.
