American Horror Story: Delicate — Part 2 fully embraced the show’s Rosemary’s Baby comparison by featuring a Mia Farrow (and Frank Sinatra) moment.
The second part of American Horror Story: Delicate is finally embracing the show’s constant comparisons to Rosemary’s Baby, the iconic slow-burn horror movie that stars Mia Farrow. AHS: Delicate episode 8, “Little Gold Man,” opens with a flashback to 1967 that features a surprising sequence: a conversation between a young Mia Farrow (Gaby Slape) and Frank Sinatra (Tom O’Keefe). Based on Delicate Condition, the twelfth season of Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk’s long-running horror anthology stars frequent AHS collaborator Emma Roberts as Anna Victoria Alcott, an actress who believes something is trying to keep her from becoming pregnant.

Like previous installments in the series, American Horror Story: Delicate boasts a cast of characters played by a rather eclectic ensemble of actors. First-timer Kim Kardashian plays Anna’s secretive publicist, Siobhan Corbyn, while series regular Denis O’Hare plays fertility doctor Andrew Hill. After five episodes, AHS: Delicate took a mid-series break. Amid all the Satanic pacts, bloody cults, and awards shows, episode 8 of American Horror Story: Delicate sees its Mia Farrow Easter egg not only tying things together, but paying off something that could have been great 13 years ago in American Horror Story: Murder House.
American Horror Story: Delicate’s Mia Farrow Character Comes After The Real Actress Passed On The Show
Mia Farrow Was Offered A Part In AHS: Murder House
The opening of episode 8 of AHS: Delicate sees Sinatra having a frank conversation with Farrow: if she doesn’t stop working on Rosemary’s Baby, he’ll leave her. Plagued by demonic hallucinations, Farrow is visited by Siobhan. In the present, Siobhan asks Anna how much the Oscar-nominated actress wants to win. When Anna admits her desire, she wins — only to have her water break mid-speech. While the Mia Farrow Easter egg certainly highlights Delicate’s connection to Rosemary’s Baby, it’s great for a real-world reason too: Mia Farrow was offered a part in American Horror Story season 1.

American Horror Story co-creator Ryan Murphy revealed that Farrow was a “bucket list” actor for the anthology’s first season (via The Wrap). Although Farrow turned down the part at the time, she has since admitted that it was a regretful choice. Notably, the first season, sub-titled Murder House, also deals with a demonic pregnancy and the eventual birth of an anti-Christ figure, all of which are very reminiscent of Rosemary’s Baby’s ending. While the real-life Farrow has yet to join AHS, the casting of a fictionalized Mia Farrow pays homage to what could have been.

AHS: Delicate Finally Embraces The Obvious Horror Movie Comparisons
In Rosemary’s Baby, which also adapts a book, Farrow’s pregnant titular character experiences increasingly unsettling visions, all while growing distrustful of those around her, from her husband to her building full of cryptic neighbors. When American Horror Story: Delicate was first announced, viewers immediately drew comparisons between the anthology series’ latest effort and the 1968 horror movie. As the series has progressed, some critics have even dubbed it a modern-day remake of the Rosemary’s Baby story (via Decider). By incorporating Mia Farrow and the filming of the horror film into its plot, American Horror Story: Delicate finally owns the comparisons.
