Sarah Paulson talks about meeting Marcia Clark, dating older woman

In a brand new interview Sarah Paulson spoke about everything from her meeting with former prosecutor Marcia Clark to dating older women in Hollywood.

When speaking to The New York Times, Paulson recalled the first time she met Clark for lunch at the Four Seasons Hotel.

“I remember her coming through the revolving door, and there was this dappled light coming through the windows, so I couldn’t quite see her face,” Paulson explained. “But I had studied her physical mannerisms so much that I could tell [it was her] by her walk and her hands, the way she was pushing.”

Paulson said she talked and ordered drinks with the woman she plays on The People v. O.J. Simpson: American Crime Story for hours that afternoon. The actress couldn’t help but feel a connection to Clark and related to being dissected by the media just as she was during the Simpson murder trial.

Paulson also talked about her relationship with fellow actress Holland Taylor, who is 32 years her senior.

“There’s a poignancy to being with someone older,” she revealed. “I think there’s a greater appreciation of time and what you have together and what’s important, and it can make the little things seem very small. It puts a kind of sharp light mixed with a sort of diffused light on something. I can’t say it any other way than there’s a poignancy to it, and a heightened sense of time and the value of time."

You can catch Paulson on The People v. O.J. Simpson: American Crime Story miniseries, which airs Tuesdays on FX.
