Notable Lesbians
This week’s Notable Lesbian is:
Sarah Paulson
December 17, 1974 -
Sarah is a Golden Globe-nominated American actress who was a series regular
on the cult television show American Gothic and the WB series Jack & Jill (1999), playing the character “Elisa Cronkite”. In addition, she had a minor role in the HBO series Deadwood, and was a focal character in an episode of the critically acclaimed FX series Nip/Tuck. She briefly appeared on the NBC series Leap of Faith (2002) as the main character, but the show was short-lived. In 2004, she had a supporting role in the ABC series The D.A., but that show also ended after a few episodes. Sarah’s movie credits include Down with Love, What Women Want, The Other Sister, Levitation, and Serenity.
In 2005, Paulson was indirectly outed by girlfriend Cherry Jones during the 59th Tony Awards, when Jones thanked her by the name “Laura Wingfield” (the character Paulson was then playing in The Glass Menagerie) during her award acceptance speech. In 2007, Sarah and Cherry declared their love for each other in an interview with VelvetPark at Women’s Event 10 for the LGBT Center of NYC.
Interesting tid bit:
Paulson starred in a revival of The Glass Menagerie on Broadway, and has appeared Off-Broadway in Killer Joe, Talking Pictures, and Colder Than Here. n fall 2006, Paulson co-starred in NBC’s Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip playing Harriet Hayes, one of the stars of the show-within-a-show. To date, this is her most notable role, earning her a Golden Globe nomination for best supporting actress in a TV series. However, NBC canceled the series on May 14, 2007.
