Sarah Paulson Reveals Private Texts From Diane Keaton Before Her Death: ‘They Were Really Something’

Sarah Paulson is sharing a glimpse at the texts and emails she received from her late friend Diane Keaton before her death less than two months ago.

Paulson, 50, paid tribute to Keaton in her speech at The Hollywood Reporter’s Women in Entertainment gala in Los Angeles on Wednesday, December 3, telling the audience that attending the event “meant I could be with her again.”

“It offered me a chance to go through my emails and my saved voicemails,” she said, as seen in a video shared by E! News. “Turns out, everyone I know who ever got a message from her saved them because they were … well, they were really something. So, I realized I shouldn’t be greedy, and I’m gonna share some of them with you.”

Paulson then read some of the messages she received from Keaton, who died at age 79 on October 11 after a bacterial pneumonia infection.

“Sarah, I hate your phone,” the American Horror Story actress read, prompting laughs from the crowd. “It is always full, and I can never leave a message. Moron, what is your address? Hurry home, sucker idiot. Di.”

In another message, Keaton asked Paulson, “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.”

Keaton’s vehement love for Paulson was evident in a third message.

“Look, I want to know every single thing that’s going on with you — your career, your love, your f***ing house,” the late Father of the Bride actress wrote. “When are you in? Love you, little special. Keep me abreast on developments. Diane, one of your friends.”

In another message, Keaton described Paulson’s girlfriend, Holland Taylor, as “a force” and “totally charming, unique,” while she called Paulson a “numbskull.”
