Montana Duke

 is a fictional camp counselor 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 Billie Lourd.

Biography
Montana Duke was a young blonde-haired woman who lived in Los Angeles, California in the early 1980s. She was obsessed with aerobics and began attending aerobics classes on a consistent basis in 1982. She eventually yearned to grow into the world of competitive aerobics. It was while attending a Slimmercise class that she met instructor Xavier Plympton.

In the summer of 1984, Montana met a new member of exercise club, Brooke Thompson. She immediately took an interest in Brooke, even though she told her that she was not homosexual. When Xavier, and a few other club members named Chet Clancy and Ray Powell decided to get summer jobs as counselors at Camp Redwood, Montana elected to go as well. She was hoping to start her own aerobics class at the campground. She egged Brooke into coming along as well, citing that this group needed "more estrogen". The third episode reveals Montana to be the girlfriend of serial killer Richard Ramirez and being behind the attack on Brooke, hoping Ramirez would finish the job of killing her at Camp Redwood.

When they arrived at the camp, they met the owner Margaret Booth, as well as activities director Trevor Kirchner. Montana knew of Kirchner from a previous exercise training video and was fixated with him. This fixation grew into a deeper form of lust as the two had sex with one another in the lake that evening. Their escapade was interrupted when Montana noticed car headlights approaching the lake.
