Short Biography

Sarah Catharine Paulson (born December 17, 1975) is an American actress. Paulson was born in Tampa, Florida, but was raised in Brooklyn, and Maine. She 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. Paulson 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. 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. Paulson`s movie credits include Down with Love, What Women Want, The Other Sister, Levitation, and Serenity.

Paulson dated the actress Cherry Jones. Jones has been accused of indirectly outing Paulson in her acceptance speech after winning a Tony Award in 2005; Jones thanked her by the name of the character that she was currently playing, The Glass Menagerie`s "Laura Wingfield". However, the pair had attended the awards together and kissed right after Jones won, thus making it clear that Paulson was not secretive about the relationship. In 2007, Paulson and Jones declared their love for each other in an interview with VelvetPark at Women`s Event 10 for the LGBT Center of NYC. They have since broken up.
