After winning the Golden Globe for her role in American Horror Story: Hotel, Lady Gaga explained who she channeled while playing The Countess on the FX TV series.

“Every day I would watch Robert Durst in The Jinx and his wife Debrah Durst and I would sort of study the practical nature in which he was devious and evil,” she told Jamie Lee Curtis during their chat for PBS and Variety's "Actors on Actors" series. “He just has this extremely practical way of explaining how he’s going to conceal the fact that he’s, ya know, dumped a body in a river and kept it in his house and cut up his best friend.”

After admitting that she was inspired by the NYC real estate heir turned murderer, who was the subject for the HBO docuseries, the pop star also added, "So I let that inform me as The Countess. Because if I was going to take a guy home and fuck him and then eat him, I wouldn’t know exactly how to do that.”
