Throughout her childhood, Paulson spent her summers in Florida with her father,[7] who was an executive at a Tampa door manufacturing company.[9] She attended P.S. 29 and Berkeley Carroll School[10][11] in Brooklyn before attending Manhattan's Fiorello H.

![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/64/SarahPaulson06.jpg/170px-SarahPaulson06.jpg)
Paulson began working as an actress right out of high school. In 1994, she made her Broadway debut as a replacement understudy for the role of Tessin, played by Amy Ryan in Wendy Wasserstein's play The Sisters Rosensweig at the Ethel Barrymore Theatre.[14][15] She appeared in the Horton Foote play Talking Pictures at the Signature Theatre, and in an episode of Law & Order in 1994. The next year, Paulson appeared in the Hallmark television film Friends at Last (1995) opposite Kathleen Turner, playing the adult version of Turner's character's daughter.[16] She also starred in the short-lived television series American Gothic (also 1995), playing the ghost of a murdered woman.[17] In 1997, Paulson made her feature film debut in the independent thriller film Levitation, playing a woman who discovers she is pregnant after an anonymous sexual encounter.[18] Leonard Klady of Variety noted that Paulson and her co-stars are "not supported by the script", concluding: "Levitation is a grim, convoluted saga of identity and belonging. An ill-fitting combination of melodrama and magic realism, the indie effort will have a decidedly difficult time in the theatrical arena."[18] In 1997, Paulson was a featured actress (Janice/Nina) in the two-part episode "True Romance" of Cracker, which starred Robert Pastorelli. The following year she returned to the stage acting in the Off-Broadway production of Killer Joe (1998).[19]
She subsequently played Elisa Cronkite in The WB comedy-drama series Jack & Jill (1999).[20] The same year, she was also cast opposite Juliette Lewis and Diane Keaton in the drama The Other Sister, playing the lesbian sister of a developmentally-disabled woman in San Francisco,[21] and in a supporting part playing a hostage in the comedy Held Up, opposite Jamie Foxx.[22] The following year, she had a small supporting role in the Nancy Meyers directed romantic comedy What Women Want (2000), starring Mel Gibson and Helen Hunt.[23] She portrayed Luci Baines Johnson in the HBO film Path to War (2002) starring Michael Gambon, Donald Sutherland and Alec Baldwin.[24] That same year she starred as the main character, Faith Wardwell, an advertising executive, in the NBC series Leap of Faith (2002). Phil Gallo compared the show unfavorably to Sex and the City.[25] She was then cast in the period romantic comedy Down with Love (2003) in a central supporting role, portraying the friend and editor of a writer (portrayed by Renee Zellweger).[26] Paulson had a minor recurring role in the HBO series Deadwood (2005).[27] and was a focal character in a 2004 episode of the FX series Nip/Tuck.
In 2004, she had a supporting role in the ABC series The D.A., which was cancelled after only four episodes.[28] In the spring of 2005, Paulson starred in a Broadway revival of the Tennessee Williams play The Glass Menagerie opposite co-star Jessica Lange.[29] Ben Brantley of The New York Times deemed the production as "misdirected and miscast ... reality never makes an appearance in this surreally blurred production."[29] Later that year, Paulson appeared Off-Broadway in a production of Colder Than Here, opposite Lily Rabe (also her future co-star on American Horror Story).[30] The production received an unfavorable review from Variety, with critic Dave Rooney writing: "Rabe speaks in an affected monotone while Sarah Paulson has the measured, upward-inflected delivery of a children's TV presenter ... this mannered, melancholy play elicits a mainly impassive response, which is no small obstruction in a work dealing with loss."[30] Also in 2005, Paulson had a small role in the Joss Whedon-directed science fiction film Serenity.[31] In the 2006–07 television season, Paulson co-starred in the Aaron Sorkin created NBC comedy-drama Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip, playing Harriet Hayes, one of the stars of the show-within-a-show. This role earned her a nomination for Golden Globe Award for Best Supporting Actress – Series, Miniseries or Television Film. In December 2008, Paulson appeared in the screen adaptation of Will Eisner's comic book The Spirit, playing an updated version of the character Ellen Dolan.[32]

In June 2016, the Human Rights Campaign released a video in tribute to the victims of the Orlando nightclub shooting; in the video, Paulson and others told the stories of the people killed there.[61] In the fall of 2016, she starred in the sixth iteration of American Horror Story, subtitled Roanoke; in it, she was cast in the dual roles of British actress Audrey Tindall and tortured wife and yoga instructor Shelby Miller, the latter of whom is portrayed by Tindall's character in My Roanoke Nightmare, a documentary within the series.[62] She also reprised her role of Lana Winters in the final episode of Roanoke, in which the character makes a crossover appearance.[63] After completing Roanoke, Paulson appeared in the series' seventh season, Cult (2017), in which she played restaurant owner Ally Mayfair-Richards,[64] as well as Susan Atkins in the 10th episode of the season.
