Sarah Paulson, known for her roles in “American Horror Story” and as a muse for Ryan Murphy, is making headlines for her refreshing take on nepotism in Hollywood. The actress recently praised her Broadway costar, Ella Beatty, the daughter of Annette Bening and Warren Beatty, for her talent and not her famous parents.
In an exclusive interview with E! News, Paulson emphasized that Ella’s upbringing by two grounded individuals is what sets her apart, rather than her family’s industry status. Paulson, along with other “Appropriate” costars Michael Esper and Corey Stoll, have been impressed by Ella’s performance since she joined the show in March.
Paulson, who made her on-stage debut as an understudy in 1994, reflected on her own journey into the industry, sharing that her mother was a waitress at a restaurant near the theater where she now performs. The 49-year-old actress expressed gratitude for achieving her dreams of becoming an actress and acknowledged the pressure that comes with it.
“Appropriate,” the Broadway play in which Paulson stars, has been extended at the Belasco Theater until June 23. The play explores themes of family dynamics and societal issues, making it a must-see for theater enthusiasts.
Paulson’s candid remarks on nepotism and her personal journey in the industry serve as a reminder that talent and hard work are what truly matter in show business. Tune in to E! News on April 3 at 11 p.m. for more insights from Paulson and her “Appropriate” costars.
