In a heartfelt and humorous tribute, acclaimed actress Sarah Paulson recently opened up about her unique friendship with the legendary late star Diane Keaton. The revelation came during a star-studded gala in Los Angeles, where Paulson shared a series of candid and funny text messages that perfectly captured Keaton's spirited personality.
A Touching Tribute at The Hollywood Reporter Gala
On December 3, Sarah Paulson joined numerous Hollywood luminaries at The Hollywood Reporter's annual gala in Los Angeles. She took the stage alongside veteran actress Goldie Hawn to honour the memory of Diane Keaton, who passed away on October 11 earlier this year. Paulson, known for her role in 'American Horror Story', began her tribute on an emotional note, stating, "I want to tell you how the world lost its mind with grief the day you died."
Hilarious and Direct Text Exchanges Revealed
The core of Paulson's tribute was a reading of actual text messages she received from Keaton over the years, which showcased the late actress's blunt and witty communication style. Paulson shared messages where Keaton didn't mince words, including one that read, "Moron, where is your address?" and another philosophical query, "We are so fortunate. Do you love being an actress? I don't."
Paulson also revealed that Keaton would frequently complain about her voicemail being perpetually full. The texts took a more exasperated tone on occasion, with one memorable message stating, "You are impossible to contact. I'm going to talk to Holland about you. First of all, you remain unreachable by phone. What the f--- are you doing? One of your very few old friends." This message referenced Paulson's partner, actress Holland Taylor.
Goldie Hawn's Heartfelt Memories
Goldie Hawn, who starred with Keaton in the beloved film 'The First Wives Club', also shared her profound sense of loss. "She just cannot be gone. No one like that should ever die," Hawn expressed emotionally. She celebrated Keaton's vibrant spirit, adding, "She just brought so much joy, so much life, so much exuberance. She was like lightning in a bottle."
The event served as a powerful reminder of Diane Keaton's enduring legacy, not just as an iconic actress from 'The Godfather' and 'The Sugarland Express', but as a fiercely loyal and wonderfully eccentric friend. She is survived by her daughter, Dexter, and son, Duke.
