Sarah Paulson has the most piercing and convincing scream I have EVER heard

[BreeshaRS]

Love her so much. If there’s EVER a Matilda remake, we have our Ms.Honey.

I could listen to her talk for hours and hours. Such insightful words.

Lana Winters was such a complex character, and she played her to the max. She plays all of her roles flawlessly, but that one to me is her crown jewel.

No one is talking about how she played those twins you actually thought they were different people you had different feelings for each character she brought them both to life she was honestly amazing in the freak show season this person is truly amazing at acting and you can tell she loves her job!

Jessica complaining about "shooting with the twins" a whole mood tbh

Imagine being such a good actress that you can trick your own body into being traumatized by your role

[youngrootv]

The most underrated actor of our generation hands down!!!!

I personally love the way she portrays her fear. It’s a full blown breakdown and it feels real especially with the tears and voice tone.
