It was hard to picture Roberts in anything but Nickelodeon’s Unfabulous, in which she played spunky Addie. She also played sleuth Nancy Drew, so it was easy for viewers to become accustomed to her happy, wholesome roles. As she got older, though, she started to get an itch to switch over to more adult roles. What Culture writes that she gradually started to transition by appearing in several independent features.
Her big break came with the third season of the FX horror show, American Horror Story. Roberts played Madison Montgomery, a young woman who discovers she is a witch being sent to the Academy. On the show, there is a lot of darkness around Roberts’ character, including a graphic rape scene. After watching her play Madison, it’s hard to remember Addie ever existed.
