Sarah Paulson debuts tattoo dedicated to Diane Keaton on late actress’ 80th birthday

Sarah Paulson revealed she got a tattoo dedicated to Diane Keaton to honor the late actress.

Paulson paid tribute to Keaton Monday, on what would have been the star’s 80th birthday. The “American Horror Story” actress posted a picture of the two of them together at the beach, and in a second pic, showed off her tattoo of Keaton’s initials — “DK” — above her wrist.

“You would have been 80 today,” Paulson, 51, wrote. “Too many deep feelings to put here.”

“I was the luckiest person in the world to have traveled, laughed so hard we cried, watched a million and one movies, really cried, and eaten French fries with you,” she continued. “You. You. Wondrous, singular, YOU. I will miss you till the end of time.”

The actress tagged celebrity tattoo artist Winterstone — whose real name is Daniel Winter — in her post, thanking him for her “forever reminder” of one of her “forever people.”

Winter shared more pics with Paulson and the tattoo in his own Instagram post Monday.

“You are an incredible friend!” he praised. “What you did for your people in time of heavy grief was just
Amazing! Happy I got to share that moment with you.”

Keaton died in October 2025 at age 79 from pneumonia.

Paulson paid tribute to the “Annie Hall” star last month at the Hollywood Reporter’s Women in Entertainment Gala, revealing that she saved some of her voicemails and texts from Keaton.

She read a few humorous messages to the audience, including a voicemail in which Keaton said, “Sarah, I hate your phone. It is always full, and I can never leave a message. Moron, what is your address? Hurry home, sucker idiot. Diane.” 

Another read, “How are you? I want to hear everything. When are you back? You sent me an email very recently, but it’s gone. Don’t ask why. Don’t ask what I did. I’m a loser from way back.”

Fighting back tears, Paulson read an email she wished she could send to her late friend.

“Dear dumb-dumb, I want to tell you I’m sorry that voicemail was always full,” she said. “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.”

Paulson also teared up while speaking about her late friend at the “All’s Fair” Los Angeles premiere in December.

“But all I can say … which is important to me to communicate [is that] what you thought she was as a performer, she was even more spectacular as a human being,” she told Access Hollywood.
