00:00she is currently starring in your friends and neighbors on Apple help me
00:07welcome Sarah's great friend Amanda Pete to the stage tell me if my boobs stick
00:22out this is from Pedro Pascal who is known Paulson almost as long as Gallo this is
00:34what he wrote bird missing this makes it too hard to find words I can thank you
00:40both for my ridiculous fortune two birds grabbing sticks I never knew were for me
00:45and anyone in your heart to Sarah I'll just say there is no me without you
00:51without you I wouldn't believe in moon or Sun or sky you are the opening in the
00:57road you are the decorated forest and most importantly you're my friend and I'm
01:02yours eternally I'm so fucking proud of you more more I love you more period
01:11all the way up until I was 27 I thought I was a good mimic but then I met Sarah
01:25she can do anyone not just iconic people like Julia Roberts Holly Hunter Joy Behar
01:31and Joan Rivers also Meryl Streep as Karen Silkwood and Meryl Streep as Karen
01:37Silkwood imitating Karen Silkwood's mom Karen I've been thinking about your
01:43name Sarah also does Sally Fields I want to know why cancer speech and steel
01:50Magnolia is better than Sally Field and Edith and Edie in Grey Gardens better than
01:55Edith and Edie but it's not just famous people it's people she barely knows
02:00strangers she secretly films on her cell phone on the subway waiters salespeople
02:07politicians you name it no one is safe her ear except for when she sings is
02:12remarkable when she sings things get dicey otherwise she'd be an EGOT by now she
02:20can imitate the exact way someone speaks the precise inflection lilt rhythm pitch
02:25and lisp if there is one she can also pinpoint the way a person gesticulates and
02:30walks sometimes when I'm upset and need to talk to her I know that all she's
02:35really doing is looking at the chin quiver thing that I inherited from my mom
02:39she's constantly taking a meticulous inventory of how we behave and what we
02:44look like when we're in various states of emotion it's the acting version of
02:48Nora Ephron's everything is copy and it's one of the reasons she's a virtuoso and an
02:55icon I met Sarah in the Jack and Jill makeup trailer on the Warner Brothers lot
03:02when I was 27 and she was 24 I hope I got her ages right because it's been a bone
03:07of contention in our relationship when I try to shorten how much older I am within
03:12minutes I was on the floor peeing in my pants and we became notorious for having
03:17uncontrollable laughing big Jags the more annoyed people became the funnier we
03:21thought it was especially when the cameras were rolling when we tried to
03:25shoot our meet-cute for Jack and Jill for the Jack and Jill pilot in which we
03:29bump into each other outside the office elevator she was supposed to say Alisa
03:33Cronkite no relation but we lost it come on come on come on needless to say we
03:40brought production to a grinding halt for what would be the first in many many
03:46times keep it together in the years after Jack and Jill Sarah garnered raves for
03:53nine million other TV shows seriously her IMDB credits are the length of war and
03:57her piece including in no order game change Mrs. America the bear and Studio
04:0160 for which she received her first Emmy nomination I rewatched some of her
04:07scenes with Matthew Perry over the weekend and their witty repartee rivals
04:12that in any Tracy Hepburn movie Sarah also played a God-fearing Christian and
04:17Mrs. America and her episode Houston is a gem of a movie all unto itself she
04:22begins the story as a devout trad wife and curlers who's afraid to be away from her
04:26husband her husband's side and ends up high off her gourd sprawled on the floor
04:31of an ERA convention party shoveling food and singing along to this is your land
04:36tentatively at first but then belting it out in all her tone-deaf glory without
04:41even knowing it's a women's lib anthem it's one of the funniest most nerdy and
04:47heartbreaking performances I've ever seen in the last decade or so Sarah starred in
04:54the movies 12 years a slave the gold finch for which she tanned against the
04:59wishes of her friends and family and doctors in case anyone wants to know how
05:03dedicated she is to her craft Carol and Martha Macy may Marlene to name a few
05:08people began to take notice of what a brilliant chameleon she is but it was her
05:14collaboration with Ryan Murphy that changed her life and resulted in her two
05:20most groundbreaking performances because of Ryan the whole world finally found out
05:26what Sarah was capable of in the people versus OJ she was able to capture with
05:31profound sensitivity and without a single false note all the fragments of
05:36Marsha Clark's personality the incredibly smart seasoned trial junkie the adoring
05:41single mom the Harry divorcee duking it out with her ex in court before work the
05:46vulnerable middle-aged woman crushing on Darden as Linda trip Sarah was nothing
05:52short of astounding bird I was and continue to be awestruck by this
05:57performance I can't think of anyone who transformed themselves as bravely and as
06:02completely and who was still able to be a hundred percent authentic maybe Daniel day
06:08Lewis on my left foot maybe Sarah and Ryan made a shot of a woman waiting in
06:15front of a lone baked potato in a microwave poignant but it's impossible to
06:21pick which moments are the most mind-blowing you're barely there hair
06:25flip as you turn on your heels away from Isikoff after telling him he's barking up
06:29the wrong tree the first time you Cyrano a letter to Clinton from for Monica
06:33suggesting she felt disposable and then adjusting your glasses just so I could go
06:39on and on people on Jack and Jill didn't think our friendship would stand the test
06:44of time we were inseparable from that first day so it's understandable they
06:49assumed it would be a case of too much too soon but since at this point we're old
06:54I'm way older and I'm standing here and I'm still your shotgun writer they were dead
07:03wrong as your shotgun writer I'll always be here to remind you not just today but
07:11for the rest of your life until the big dirt nap you did it the little girl from
07:17Tampa with magazine cutouts of stars on her wall became a star herself the kind of
07:27star and they're few and far between who got here because of pure skill work ethic
07:33and grace as a human being and that my sweet bird is a fact and from this day
07:40forth it's set in stone
07:57So
08:04you
08:08you
08:08you
08:10you
08:12you
