Sarah Paulson is honoring “one of the greatest human beings the world has ever known,” her late friend Diane Keaton.
On Wednesday, while attending the Hollywood Reporter’s Women In Entertainment breakfast, Paulson shared the email she wishes she could send Keaton today.
“Dear dumb dumb, I want to tell you I’m sorry that my voicemail was always full,” Paulson began, her voice breaking. “I want to tell you I’m sorry I wasn’t available every time you called me. I want to tell you how much crummier the world is without you in it. I want to tell you everything that happened in my life in the 54 days since you’ve been gone. I want to tell you how the world lost its mind with grief the day you died. And I want to tell you I will miss you forever — and I know to be a moron, and I know you would be heartened to know that.”
Holding back tears, the actor continued her tribute in only the way a longtime friend can.
“I just want to say thank you,” she continued. “I just want to say thank you for being my friend, Sarah Paulson, actress. Please call.”
