In her new documentary, In Your Dreams, Stevie Nicks tells the story of the last time she acted: in a fourth-grade play about The Alamo. It was so bad, Nicks says. She went home after that elementary-school debacle and told her mother that she was swearing off acting forever. Nicks stuck by that pledge until now: shes appearing early next year in American Horror Story: Coven, the third season of the horror anthology created by Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk (who also collaborated on Glee and Nip/Tuck).

I go straight from nothing to the middle of American Horror Story! marvels Nicks. Sitting in the foyer of her Los Angeles home, she said that she did the show because of her love of Glee. I was very attracted to Glee, and to Ryan and Brads writing of misfits. They write about people who dont fit in. Nicks identifies with outsiders, having spent her childhood moving around the western United States. (Her father was the president of soap manufacturers Armour-Dial, which was acquired by the Greyhound bus company.) I was always the new girl, she explains. I was lucky, because I managed to be such the chameleon that I did fit in.
Nicks had visited the Glee set in 2011 when they were covering her Landslide (the show later devoted a whole episode to Fleetwood Macs Rumours). I was devastated when Cory [Monteith] died, she remembers. I wrote a letter to the cast, and I wrote a letter to Lea [Michele]. I tried to be of some solace. Nicks felt that she was part of the extended Murphy/Falchuk tribe, so when they approached her about American Horror Story, I couldnt say no. I could say, Im not an actress, so its going to suck but I will be glad to try, for you.
Her appearance (as herself) went well enough that the producers asked her to extend her time on location in New Orleans; she stayed for most of the week before Thanksgiving, working in the shows custom-built house. I got to watch Jessica Lange do scene after scene where she was perfect, Nicks reports. I got to watch the little witches, who were also amazing Emma Roberts is so evil that its just scary. You cant help but think of Julia Roberts, and youd never think anything evil about her but Emma is just great.

Nicks has very little experience with horror: shes seen only a handful of old horror movies, like Bride of Dracula. They dont scare me, she says. I just love the costumes. Now that shes a horror professional, she raves about the entire experience, with the exception of her own performance: I dont want to be bad at anything that I do that people see. If I try to learn to skate and Im terrible, nobodys going to know about it. But it was really fun. I now belong to a very secret society. And youll be surprised not with my terrific acting, but with the whole thing.
