Patti - who has held leading roles in musicals such as 'Gypsy', 'Sunset Boulevard' and 'Les Miserables' during her decades-long career - lamented: "No I don't! She's taking roles from actors. Excuse me, excuse me, Kim - what are you doing with your life? Don't get on the stage, Mrs. Worthington!"

Kim and Emma’s roles are not known at this time, but Kim will be a leading lady for the first time in a role "crafted specifically for her", series creator Ryan Murphy explained to Variety.

her own page: "This summer ... Kim and I are DELICATE."
