Sarah Paulson Reveals Actor Who Sent Her 6 Pages of Notes on Broadway Show: 'I Hope to See You Never'

"It was really outrageous," the actress recalled of the letter she received about her Broadway performance

Sarah Paulson is recalling a time she got unsolicited advice that she won't soon forget.

On the SmartLess podcast's May 13 episode, the actress, who currently stars in Appropriate on Broadway, told a story about a time she was in another play and received "six pages" of notes from an actress who'd played her role in a previous production.

"I did a play called Talley's Folly at the Roundabout, and the actress — and I'm gonna say this, and I'm not gonna ask you to cut this out, because I don't f---ing care — this actress came to the play. Her name is Trish Hawkins. Hi, Trish! Hi, Trisha!" said Paulson, 49. "Trish Hawkins came to this play— am I gonna get sued? I don't care, 'cause I think this is outrageous."

The Tony Award nominee said her mother brought Hawkins, 78, to see Talley's Folly, as they were in "some kind of writing group together," and her mom thought it would be a good idea.

When Paulson spoke with Hawkins, "She looked at me sort of up and down and then she went, 'Your dress is yellow. Mine was pink.' And I thought, 'What?' " she said.

But that wasn't the end of the criticism, according to Paulson.

"Cut to two days later, I got an email that was six pages long of notes and a communication to me about what she had done when she had done the play, what she recommended I do," the American Horror Story star told hosts Jason Bateman, Sean Hayes and Will Arnett on the podcast.

"It was outrageous. It was really outrageous," Paulson continued. "Trish Hawkins, I have not forgotten it, and I hope to see you never."

Asked whether she kept the letter, Paulson confirmed she did, but joked with a laugh about her mom's initiation of the meetup with Hawkins at the play, "I just put it back in the file of things my mother has done."

Hawkins was not immediately reachable for comment by PEOPLE.

Paulson earned her first Tony nomination for her role in Appropriate last month, for best performance by a leading actress in a play.

Appropriate tells the story of a trio of siblings (Pauslon, Corey Stoll and Michael Esper) who return to their father's Arkansas house after his death to deal with his estate. But when mysterious objects are discovered among the clutter, buried resentments and long-hidden secrets surface as the family is forced to face ghosts of their past.

After opening at the Hayes Theater in December 2023 to rave reviews and sold-out houses — with the family drama striking comparisons to Tony-winning pieces like August: Osage County and The Humans — Appropriate transferred to the Belasco Theater in late March for an additional 13 weeks. The Second Stage Theater production will play through June 23.

Tickets for Appropriate are available on the show's website.
