Sarah Paulson on why Tony nomination for her role in the play “Appropriate” feels meaningful

Emmy Award-winning actor Sarah Paulson has made her return to Broadway after more than a decade, starring as Toni Lafayette in the play “Appropriate.” Written by Branden Jacobs-Jenkins, the production has received eight Tony Award nominations, including Best Revival of a Play and Best Performance by an Actress in a Leading Role in a Play for Paulson.

Paulson, who joined “CBS Mornings” on Friday alongside Jacobs-Jenkins, said her Tony nomination is particularly meaningful to her because she began her career in theater and grew up in New York. From a young age, she dreamed of performing on Broadway, so receiving a Tony Award nomination feels extra special to her.

“I just keep having to kind of pinch myself. I can’t believe it’s happening,” she said.
