"Once You’ve Seen It, You Can’t Unsee It": One Fall Of The House Of Usher Family Member Was Inspired By Pixar Character

The Fall of the House of Usher star Kate Siegel has revealed the unlikely source of inspiration behind her character Camille L’Espanaye. Loosely based on the assorted works of 19th-century poet and author Edgar Allan Poe, Mike Flanagan’s final Netflix show charted the graphic and fatal downfall of the powerful Usher family headed by patriarch Roderick Usher (played by Bruce Greenwood and Zach Gilford) and his twin sister Madeline (Mary McDonnell and Willa Fitzgerald). Siegel, herself a frequent collaborator with Flanagan, assumed the role of Roderick’s illegitimate daughter Camille, best known for serving as the head of public relations for the Fortunato corporation.
