SARAH PAULSON
Best Known For Jack and Jill, Deadwood, Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip
Favorite Role Laura Wingfield, in the 2005 production of The Glass Menagerie on Broadway
''It's an iconic play, and it was a role I never thought I would have, much less on Broadway, much less with Jessica Lange,'' says Paulson, who's adored Lange ever since she was ''old enough to know what good acting was.'' Working in theater, she adds, is ''unlike TV and movies in a really positive way. When you've got five weeks to rehearse, and months and months to discover new things about the character, I think you have the opportunity to do better work.'' —Lindsay Soll
