Sarah Paulson, the celebrated actress known for her dynamic roles in Ryan Murphy's TV empire, joined the ranks of Hollywood's elite by receiving her star on the Walk of Fame this Tuesday. Dressed to impress in a chic black-and-white checkered dress, Paulson was the center of attention at the glittering Los Angeles ceremony.
Holland Taylor, Paulson's partner since 2015 and an acclaimed actress in her own right, took to the podium to deliver a speech that was both heartfelt and effusive. "Sarah, the actress, is first of all a wild creature in the animal kingdom: warm-blooded, instinctive, mysterious," Taylor said, painting an evocative picture of Paulson's acting prowess.
“In her acting, you could say Sarah is deceptive, but you would be wrong," Taylor noted. "Her acting is as honest as a vow of faith and as complicated as chemistry. She's not deceiving us, she is practicing magic, a hat trick in flesh and blood.”
The event attracted a host of big names, including actresses Anna Peet, Leslie Grossman, and Niecy Nash with her spouse Jessica Betts. Jesse Tyler Ferguson and Ryan Murphy, a frequent collaborator of Paulson's, were also in attendance, showing their support for the actress. Melanie Lynskey and Clea DuVall joined the celebration, posing for photos with the honoree.
Taylor further expressed her deep affection for Paulson, shifting focus from her on-screen brilliance to her personal warmth and loyalty. "Most of you here have known Sarah for years," Taylor shared with the crowd. "Hollywood does well to honor her," she concluded. "And just in case she doesn't know it, she has a permanent shining star on my street. I love you, darling."
