Sarah Paulson Says Critics of Her Age Gap with Holland Taylor Reflect "Ageist Thinking"
The relationship between actresses Sarah Paulson and Holland Taylor is a rare and steady one in an industry dominated by collapsing romances and entanglements. Now, for our October 2020 cover story, Paulson is opening up about dealing with such private matters of the heart in the public eye—including "ageist" criticisms of the couple's 32-year age gap.“To feel that I belong to anyone other than a person I would like to belong to, like Holland or my dog or my best friend or my sister … a bunch of strangers claiming me as their own feels a little confusing,” she tells writer Roxane Gay, who authored The New York Times best-selling collection of essays Bad Feminist.
