Though there are some minor differences, fans clearly got a kick out of seeing Paulson and Evans rock similar garb on screen.
In Run, Sarah portrays overbearing single mom Diane Sherman – who isolates, homeschools, and cares for her 17-year-old daughter Chloe played by newcomer Kiera Allen.
Chloe is a paralyzed, wheelchair-bound straight-A student who’s told by Diane that she suffers from serious medical conditions including asthma, diabetes, arrhythmia, and hemochromatosis.
However, Chloe is horrified to discover that the label on one of her many prescription bottles peels away to reveal the drugs were actually dispensed under Diane’s name.

The brave teenager then embarks on a journey to uncover why her overprotective mother has been gaslighting her and keeping a ‘dark, sinister secret from her.’
Despite appearing in a slew of scare-inducing projects over the years, including the FX anthology series American Horror Story, Paulson recently admitted that she is easily spooked.
While on NPR’s Ask Me Another, the actress discussed her parents’ love of horror movies, such as the Nightmare On Elm Street, and how they ‘scared her so much, she’d leave her bedroom door open at night’ as a child

‘Meanwhile, my sister would be in the bed next to me, like, “Freddy’s gonna get you,”‘ she recalled.
Paulson recently added ‘executive producer’ to her resume, following the release of Ryan Murphy’s Netflix series Ratched, where she plays the title character, in September.
She explained to NPR that she never watches back her acting performances, but because of her executive producer role, she felt it was vital for her to do so with Ratched.

‘I felt it would be really unfair of me to be shouting about what I thought should be different or other, having not seen it,’ she said.
Ratched serves as a prequel to Ken Kesey’s 1962 novel One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest and focuses on the sadistic rise of asylum nurse Mildred Ratched.
Paulson recently appeared remotely on the Ellen DeGeneres show, where she discussed her latest projects, as well as her relationship with girlfriend Holland Taylor, 77.

Ellen joked that Paulson’s hectic filming schedule, in reference to her working on American Crime Story in LA before shooting the second season of Ratched, was responsible for her successful romance life.
‘You’re rarely home. No wonder your relationship works. You never see one another,’ uttered the talk show host with a smile.
Sarah and Holland hit the headlines in 2015 and it was the first time Holland was an open item with another woman.
