Sarah Paulson Honors Diane Keaton with Emotional Messages Ahead of Actress' Death
In a heartfelt speech at The Hollywood Reporter's Women in Entertainment Gala, Sarah Paulson shared the final messages she received from her late friend and co-star Diane Keaton before Keaton's passing. Paulson, 50, revealed that Keaton had sent her numerous voicemails and emails, which were filled with humor, love, and a sense of urgency.
The first message read: "Sarah, I hate your phone. It is always full, and I can never leave a message. Moron, what is your address? Hurry home, sucker idiot." The tone was unmistakably Keaton's signature wit, but Paulson noted that everyone who received messages from her saved them, as they were too special to ignore.
In another read, Keaton expressed her desire to hear everything about Paulson's life and career. She signed off with a more heartfelt message, saying she wanted to be considered one of Paulson's friends. The emails showcased the close bond between the two actresses, who met in 1999 while working on "The Other Sister."
Paulson concluded her speech by reading an email she wished she could send to Keaton herself. It was a poignant apology for not being more available when Keaton called, and Paulson expressed how much the world had lost its mind with grief after Keaton's passing.
In her own words, Paulson described Keaton as "one of my friends" and revealed that she would continue to be a moron, just like Keaton would have wanted. The message ended with a heartfelt expression of gratitude and love for their friendship.
