John Benjamin Hickey and Sarah Paulson
Sarah Paulson has appeared in every season of “American Horror Story” and is generating early Emmy buzz for her portrayal of prosecutor Marcia Clark in “The People v. O.J. Simpson: American Crime Story.” But the actress admits she’s most grateful to creator Ryan Murphy for a moment that left her starstruck: when Stevie Nicks guest-starred as a witchy version of herself on Season 4, “Coven.”
“I got to meet her, and then at Madison Square Garden at this concert, she said my name on stage. She was like, ‘We have the Supreme here.’ My phone blew up,” she said on this week’s episode of “My Favorite Song” with John Benjamin Hickey. “It’s so surreal.”
Nicks, 67, even wrote Paulson, 41, a letter, which she paid to get framed (after getting a nacho cheese grease stain professionally removed). So it’s no surprise that the Fleetwood Mac singer-songwriter earned two spots on Paulson’s list of favorite songs.
Check out Paulson’s picks below. “My Favorite Song” airs on Radio Andy.
