what is up youtube it's your girl evelyn
and in honor of pride month i thought
i'd pay homage to
one of my favorite queer actresses miss
sarah paulson
and i'm getting a little help from my
friends over at citizen roo
the only place you should ever shop for
feminist art and gifts
and because they're so awesome citizen
ruth has designed a
special edition sarah paulson mug
specifically for this video
and if you want to know how to get not
only this awesome mug
but a different queer mug every single
month make sure to keep watching
so sit back and join me for my favorite
sarah paulson performances of all time
and make sure to let me know in the
comments which one is your favorite
you more than anyone on the entire set
like
flipped the switch and we're just so
incredibly
interesting to watch and incredibly
different from your normal personality
and that's awesome
hi i'm zandra
with an x there's a house down the
street with a dumpster outside just
stick it in there
god she's hot my mom's the kind of lust
she would throw up in her own glass and
then drink it anyway
what is wrong with you but you stay out
of my cigarettes
the goldfinch is a two and a half hour
long film and sarah paulson is only in
it for
about 10 minutes yet still manages to be
the best part of the movie
in all seriousness the goldfinch is a
decent
if not odd coming of age film about a
boy
and his goldfinch and even though sarah
doesn't get nearly enough screen time
her turn as the selfish overly tan
non-maternal
chain smoking bikini rocking animal
print loving
tank top with her mid-drift out zandra
is one of my absolute favorites
her scumbag vibes are immaculate and you
just know she always has nutritional
supplements in her trunk
watch the goldfinch for sarah and stay
for the
uh
[Music]
like early in my career i think very
early in my career that's what i thought
acting was
was i would just because i could mimic
i would try to copy something i saw i
didn't have a real sense of self
or what my own take on things were
that is my peach no it's a peach
in my mouth sorry
you are not sorry but you will be
oh really
why what are you gonna do about it
what are you deaf no just thinking of
all the things i'm going to do about it
ratchet aka one of my favorite seasons
of ahs
is a brutal origin story and i could not
imagine
anyone else in this role sarah plays the
tyrannical nurse ratched with an
ice-cold precision
that made me legitimately afraid for
every person she came into contact with
and despite my mixed feelings about
ratchet as a series
i thought sarah's take on mildred
ratchet was wonderfully unique
impossible to look away from and well
worth watching
so i saw it for the first time with a
big audience and it was
um i i had trouble getting out of my
seat afterwards i think i'm in
the best movie i've ever seen who were
you master that's the name of freeman
was he a learned man
i suppose so he learned you to read
a word here or there but i have no
understanding of the written text don't
trouble yourself with it
same as the rest master bought you here
to work that's all
any more i'll earn you a hundred lashes
mistress epps
just might be the most despicable and
horrifying character
sarah paulson has ever played and that's
saying something
sarah's understated yet convincing
portrayal of the wife of a sociopathic
slave owner
will leave you absolutely seething and
that's the point and in a film
filled with brilliant performances and i
mean
brilliant it's easy to overlook the
spiteful mistress epps as a throwaway
character
but the ways in which sarah's mistress
ebbs tortures lupita's patsy
is subtly chilling and blatantly evil
watch
12 years a slave because well it's one
of the best films ever made
and stay because sarah gives one of the
best performances of her career
typically speaking if it's the part i
want there are nine other girls who
wanted to
minimally i'm an actress i want to act i
want to act as much as possible
in as many different media mediums as
possible
i don't want to be confined to only
playing someone that that
is palatable to an audience i don't
think you could say oh there's a sarah
paulson type
over the course of multiple seasons
sarah paulson has played
at least 10 distinct characters in the
anthology series
american horror story from a homicidal
but devoted mother and cult to the
ruthless matriarch willamina venable in
apocalypse
sarah's ahs resume speaks for itself and
even if you're not a big ahs
fan you can't deny the sheer amount of
talent it takes to convincingly play
so many different characters sometimes
even in the same season
this life isn't making either one of us
happy birth
but one of us will die and one of us
has a chance at happiness
[Music]
i'm not interested in what they feel the
audience feels about it
i'm interested in telling the truth for
the character
i'm not a public personality
this isn't what i do
i don't know how to do this
and those other guys they're flashy hot
shots
they're used to it but i
i just can't take it sarah paulson's
emmy-winning performance as marcia clark
is hands down my favorite performance of
hers to date
specifically the sixth episode marcia
marcia marsha which gives you a behind
the courtroom
look at marcia clark's personal life and
all the ways in which the media affected
it and sarah
just kills it she makes you absolutely
feel for what this woman had to endure
for just showing up and doing her job if
you haven't watched american crime story
i highly recommend it it's a fascinating
show and i can't wait until september to
see sarah transform herself
into linda tripp and if this list hasn't
convinced you that sarah paulson is a
gosh darn national treasure then this
mug definitely
will and the first 20 people who join my
