Sarah Paulson, an actor with palpable charm and sincerity, reflects over lunch in Los Angeles on how she came to portray a series of unlikable, and occasionally truly awful, female characters, including the Mistress Epps in 12 Years a Slave, Linda Tripp, and Nurse Ratched in One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest. “I try not to judge them,” she asserts. “I try not to think about how they’re going to be perceived, because I don’t think many people are thinking about how they’re coming across in any given moment. People are, myself included, reactive and reacting to the environment around them.”
In contrast to the audience’s perception, Branden Jacobs-Jenkins, an award-winning playwright, acknowledged Sarah’s acting skills, stating “She’s a legit actress.” Renowned for her extensive work with Ryan Murphy, Paulson is known for starring in nine out of 11 seasons of American Horror Story with diverse and captivating roles.
Sarah Paulson’s return to the stage with the 2013 play Appropriate, directed by Lila Neugebauer, showcases her versatility. She portrays the character Toni in this moving story addressing family, guilt, and tough decisions. For Paulson, heading to New York is a heartwarming experience, as she returns to the place she spent her formative years. This time, it feels different, and she looks forward to the change.
Living apart from her partner, Holland Taylor, Paulson is preparing for a new chapter. With her simple yet profound approach to life and art, she embraces change, excited to meet a new version of herself and what the future holds.
