Donna Chambers

Rita is a fictional nurse and one of the main characters featured in season nine of the FX Network television series American Horror Story, subtitled "1984". She was played by actress Angelica Ross.

Biography
Rita was a nurse who was hired by Margaret Booth to work at Camp Redwood in the summer of 1984. Rita never worked at a camp site before, but was well aware of the history surrounding Camp Redwood.

During a fireside conversation with some of the new counselors, Rita told them the story of Benjamin Richter, who (allegedly) murdered ten camp counselors in 1970. Margaret Booth corrected her, saying that it was only nine victims, revealing that she was a survivor of Richter's massacre. Rita also commented about how nobody working at the site had previous campground experience other than Booth, because nobody wanted to work at a place with such a grim history.
