SARAH PAULSON
She first pops up in ‘Murder House’ as Bille Dean Howard, but appears more significantly in ‘Asylum’ as Lana Winters, who finds herself in the Asylum for being a homosexual after trying to expose the horrors taking place there.
‘Coven’ sees her appear as Cordelia Foxx, headmistress of the school for witches in New Orleans. She ends up being blinded by her witch hunter husband.
Standing out in ‘Freak Show’, Paulson plays Dot & Bette Tattler, conjoined twins who murder their mother in a bid from freedom, before playing another challenging role in ‘Hotel’ as Sally McKenna aka ‘Hypodermic Sally’, the ghost of a heroine addict killed by Iris and forced to roam the halls of the hotel.
Paulson steps into the limelight in ‘Roanoke’, playing dual roles; Shelby Miller, in the television reenactments of the Roanoke story, and the actress playing that role, Audrey Tindall.
