American Horror Story Season 4: Sarah Paulson Training Circus Skill? Engaged Cast Members Evan Peters And Emma Roberts Devastated After Roberts' Aunt Dies From Drug Overdose

As "American Horror Story" season 4 begins the early stages of planning, it appears actress Sarah Paulson will be returning as a whole new woman.

Recently, it has been confirmed that "American Horror Story" season 4 will feature Jessica Lange in a role similar to the historical figure Marlene Dietrich.

"It's set in 1950," say creator Ryan Murphy. "If you look historically what happened in the year 1950, there's some more clues in that year. It's a period piece. We try and do the opposite of what we've done before. Jessica Lange has already started practicing her German accent so I'm very excited!"

Historically, while Dietrich enjoyed worldwide stardom early in her career, she performed almost exclusively as a highly paid cabaret act across the globe from the 1950s onward.

And while no word is out on whether Sarah Paulson will also dawn a German accent, the actress does confirm that she is already practicing something for "American Horror Story" season 4.

"A special skill. A very special skill," teases Paulson to Vulture.

With all the rumors on "American Horror Story" season 4 being about a circus, could she be working on her own act?

Meanwhile, "American Horror Story: Coven" cast members Evan Peters and Emma Roberts are going through some turbulent times after becoming engaged.

Recently, Emma Roberts celebrated her birthday, but it fell on the day after her aunt Nancy Motes was found dead from an apparent drug overdose.

"It is with deep sadness that the family of Nancy Motes... confirms that she was found dead in Los Angeles yesterday of an apparent drug overdose," says a rep of Julia Roberts according to Beauty World News.

"The family is both shocked and devastated."
