[edit]

This page needs more bulk, but is also in need of a picture of Sarah. There are plenty on the web, but I don't know how to go about legally adding a picture or linking to a seperate site. 69.34.85.237 17:11, 27 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Awful-looking photograph. 208.46.38.66 21:09, 13 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

According to www.imdb.com, her middle name is Catharine. If this is true, I think it should be added. IMDB is fairly reliable.

Somebody needs to please add November Christmas (2010) to her list of credits as a television movie. She plays the role of Beth Marks, but double-check that before editing. Also, the film premieres on CBS on November 28, 2010. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.45.106.172 (talk) 21:17, 28 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]


The Spirit

[edit]

I haven't a clue how to use this site, so will someone please include that she is playing Dr. Ellen Dolan in Will Eisner's "The Spirit". It's due for release in 2008 & starts production later this month in New Mexico.

I think there's free images on Flickr.

Date of birth

[edit]

The article currently uses this website to reference a date of birth of 17 December 1975, but IMDB says it was 17 December 1974. Any ideas which is right? GiantSnowman 01:27, 19 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I added the filmreference.com source when I noticed IMDb had a different date because I figured it would be an issue at some point. Since IMDb is considered unreliable, I went with filmref's info. TV Guide's bio link of Paulson's also has her DOB as 1975. I haven't looked extensively, but I don't think any reliable source supports the 1974 DOB. Pinkadelica 01:46, 19 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Public records search gives her DOB as 12/17/1974. [1] --Shivertimbers433 (talk) 21:41, 8 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Personal life

[edit]

Please remove the unreferenced trivia "She has a tattoo on her left wrist – an 'A' and an 'M' in reference to two deceased pet dogs. She also has tattoos of stars on the back of her neck, a star tattoo on the top of her right foot, and a Chinese character tattooed on her left ankle." --76.14.45.22 (talk) 01:50, 5 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Could we remove the mention of the ages of her female partners? It's not relevant to the section, is only mentioned for her same-sex partners, and comes across as a subtle form of judgment. Please change the following:

She dated actress Cherry Jones, who is 18 years her senior, from 2004 to 2009.[71] She had dated only men before this relationship, including her former fiancé, playwright Tracy Letts.[7] Since early 2015, she has been in a relationship with actress Holland Taylor, who is 32 years her senior.[72]

Tweak needed

[edit]

In the final sentence before the Early Life section, there's an unnecessary "of": "In 2016, Paulson portrayed of prosecutor Marcia Clark in The People v. O.J. Simpson: American Crime Story." For some reason, I'm unable to make edits in this section myself.

It is indeed unnecessary. Removed as requested (and the latest post moved to the bottom as per). Britmax (talk) 08:56, 7 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Which image should be in the infobox? Choice #2 was the current photo and had been present in the infobox for several months without challenge (until recently). -- ψλ 16:06, 14 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Choices

#1
#2
Infobox images to choose from

Choice #1

[edit]

Choice #2

[edit]
  • Support Infobox appropriate. Choice #1 is badly composed because of the microphone smack-dab in the middle of her face, this disqualifies it for the infobox as this will be the image readers will first see. The smile is slightly better in image #1, however, it's horribly unflattering to the article subject to highlight a photo that has such a large foreign object in the foreground and covering a portion of her face/features. Choice #2 has a portrait look to it and is a good first look at Paulson for readers. Clearly the better choice. -- ψλ 16:06, 14 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
L3X1, I have looked high and low for a free image without restrictions that would be better, and have yet to find one. Choice #2 is the best I've seen whether on Flickr or in Wikimedia Commons. -- ψλ 22:36, 14 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks. ideally we would have a variant of that one with her mouth closed (some people smile with their mouths open, though), and it cropped a little so people aren't left wondering if she is wearing body armor. If we could convince whoever owns this one to license it correctly… L3X1 ◊distænt write◊ 22:41, 14 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Steve Granitz of WireImage owns the copyright to the pic, I am trying to find out if there is any office to contact regarding. L3X1 ◊distænt write◊ 22:46, 14 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
If there's a better one, great. But these photos of article subjects with water bottles and microphones obtrusively in their faces are just not acceptable for the infobox. -- ψλ 22:52, 14 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Siblings are missing from this article. She has two younger sisters, Rachel Paulson (actress) and Liz Paulson (SVP of Casting at Fox). 2600:1700:D280:9230:5DF:1CC6:948B:7B6D (talk) 19:36, 13 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

How to Source Change?

[edit]

Hey there! I've never edited Wikipedia before, but I want to change "Paulson had a small role in ... Serenity" to "supporting role" or "guest starred in two episodes of." Her character only appeared twice, but was in most scenes of and critical to the plot of both episodes. However, I don't know how to source this change--this is just something I know off the top of my head. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.78.209.241 (talk) 05:16, 22 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

In the personal life part, change “Addressing her sexuality, Paulson called it "a fluid situation"[76] and later said, "If my life choices had to be predicated based on what was expected of me from a community on either side, that's going to make me feel really straitjacketed, and I don't want to feel that."” to “Addressing her sexuality, Paulson publicly identifies as a lesbian since 2023.”

The actress currently identifies as a lesbian, as stated on an episode of the podcast ‘Dear Chelsea’ released in August 31st, 2023 entitled ‘Expansion with Sarah Paulson’ (in the minute 19:38——19:48).[1] Hepburn2222 (talk) 00:38, 6 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
