Celebrating Sarah Paulson's Golden Birthday with Friends

Party Highlights

On Tuesday, Dec. 17, Paulson's friends gathered to celebrate her big day. Pedro Pascal, 49, added a sweet snap of himself with Paulson in a photo booth beside Ozark actor Jason Butler Harner. The trio's smiles were accompanied by falling flower petals, creating a truly magical moment. Pascal captioned the Instagram Story with "Your flowers, Lady P."

Jason Butler Harner also shared a series of videos and photos, including the same photo as Pascal. His caption read, "Happiest of birthdays @mssarahcatharinepaulson. You deserve all the flowers! That party was Perfection. Nothing makes me laugh like when we’re together @pascalispunk Love. Love. Love you."

Blowing Out the Candles

Butler Harner added a sweet photo of Paulson blowing out her birthday candles. This moment was captured beautifully, showing the joy on her face as she made a wish. The Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story actor also reposted Holland Taylor's video of Amanda Peet passionately dancing to Thelma Houston's "Don't Leave Me This Way," with Pascal making a brief but showstopping appearance in the background.

In Taylor's footage, Peet, 52, danced animatedly to the disco song as other party-goers joined in. Taylor, 81, also added two more videos of other famous faces dancing, such as Cynthia Erivo rapping to Nelly's "Ride Wit Me" and dancing to Madonna's "Like a Prayer."

Dance Battles and More

Meanwhile, Anthony Hemingway added several videos of the celebration, including one of Holland Taylor having a dance battle with Cynthia Erivo, 37. His Instagram caption read, "It’s the 17th all month!. HAPPY 50th my dear friend @mssarahcatharinepaulson of 29 incredible years! , Last night was a whole vibe—nothing but love, laughs, and the kind of joy you bring to everyone in the room. You’re a Golden Milestone, walking sparkle, and a nonstop source of brilliance (and those ridiculous belly laughs). Love you forever and then some. Here’s to many, many more of your magic!"

Paulson's American Horror Story costar Leslie Grossman posted his own pics of the birthday girl enjoying the celebration. One video showed Paulson swaying along as her guests sang "Happy Birthday" to her. He captioned the video, "The best night celebrating the best lady." He also added a photo of Paulson striking a pose with her "Happy 50th Birthday" crown, captioning it, "The fact that I got her this headband at Party City and she made it look like haute couture tells you everything you need to know."

Neicy Nash-Betts was another famous face at the celebration, as seen in an Instagram video she posted. She wrote, "Screaming Happy 50th@mssarahcatharinepaulson So happy you FINALLY had a party! EVERYONE came out to love on you! The Betts wouldn’t miss it for the world We love you." Her video featured moments with Paulson's Ocean's 8 costar, Sandra Bullock, and Nash and her wife Jessica snapping flicks in the photo booth.
