Sarah Paulson: It's "intimidating and nerve-wracking" preparing to work mask-free on two FX shows

TheWrap

While Paulson gets ready to film Season 10 of American Horror Story in October, she's expected to begin work as Linda Tripp on Impeachment: American Crime Story in the next few weeks. Paulson says she's already had to familiarize herself with the strict safety guidelines both FX series are placing on the cast and crew. “In terms of protocols, you can’t even imagine the emails I get and the documents I get,” she says. “And the consideration around all of it has been extraordinary. Disney and Ryan Murphy Television have all been very, very on top of it. And so I feel as protected as I can feel, given that I will be mask-free, working on a set around a bunch of people. So it’s definitely intimidating and nerve-wracking. But I’ve been told by people who have done it, that the lead up to it — because we’ve all been our houses for months and months and all of a sudden what was normal, to spend hours and hours on set with over a hundred people, now seems so far away and so impossible to imagine that the thought of doing it feels really scary. But apparently, once you’re there and see all the protocols that have been taken, people tend to feel more relaxed than they expected to. So here’s hoping.”
