Sarah Paulson recently gave a moving tribute to her late friend Diane Keaton, sharing private texts and emails she received from the legendary actress before her death. The heartfelt revelation came during Paulson’s speech at The Hollywood Reporter’s Women in Entertainment gala in Los Angeles on December 3. Attending the event gave Paulson a chance to reconnect with Keaton’s memory by revisiting their correspondence, which she described as “really something.”
The 50-year-old actress expressed how going through her saved messages and voicemails from Keaton brought back the warmth and humor of their friendship. She noted that many of Keaton’s friends had kept her messages because they were so unique and special. Paulson decided it was time to share some of these treasured communications with the audience, offering a rare glimpse into the private bond between the two stars.
Touching and Humorous Texts That Highlight Their Bond
During her speech, Paulson read several of the texts Diane Keaton sent her, showcasing the actress’s wit, affection, and candidness. One message humorously complained about Paulson’s full voicemail inbox: “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. Di.” The crowd responded with laughter, appreciating Keaton’s playful tone.
Another message revealed Keaton’s desire to stay connected despite some technical glitches: “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.” This candid admission showed Keaton’s self-deprecating humor and her eagerness to maintain their friendship.
Keaton’s deep affection for Paulson was evident in another message where she expressed her interest in every aspect of Paulson’s life: “Look, I want to know every single thing that’s going on with you — your career, your love, your f***ing house. When are you in? Love you, little special. Keep me abreast on developments. Diane, one of your friends.” This message highlighted the genuine care and closeness they shared.
In a particularly amusing note, Keaton described Paulson’s girlfriend, Holland Taylor, as “a force” and “totally charming, unique,” while affectionately calling Paulson a “numbskull.” She added, “It’s sad, you had so much potential. Well, not really, not really at all. Miss Diane Keaton, available on the phone.” These messages perfectly captured the warmth and humor that defined their friendship.

I want to tell you how crummier the world is without you in it. I want to tell you everything that happened in my life in the 54 days since you’ve been gone.”
Paulson continued, expressing the profound grief felt by many after Keaton’s death on October 11 due to bacterial pneumonia. “I want to tell you how the world lost its mind with grief the day you died. And I want to tell you I will miss you forever, and I continue to be a moron, and I know that you would be heartened to know that.” Her words conveyed the deep void left by Keaton’s absence and the lasting impact of their friendship.
The actress concluded her tribute with gratitude: “But most of all, I just want to say thank you. Thank you for being my friend. Sarah Paulson, actress.
