Notes

• This character is loosely based on the real Natacha Rambova.
• The three-way relationship between Elizabeth, Rudolph Valentino and Natacha could be the American Horror Story in-universe version of the real sapphic relationship between Natacha Rambova and actress Alla Nazimova, carefully hidden to the public with arranged marriages.
