Sarah Paulson is peeling the curtain back on her friendship with the late — and hilarious — Diane Keaton.
At The Hollywood Reporter's Women in Entertainment gala in Los Angeles on Wednesday, Dec. 3, Paulson, 50, took the stage alongside Goldie Hawn to pay tribute to Keaton. The Oscar-winning actress died on Oct. 11 at age 79 after a bacterial pneumonia infection.
"I want to tell you how much crummier the world is without you in it," said Paulson to her late friend, reciting an email she wished she could now send. "I want to tell you how the world lost its mind with grief the day you died."
The All's Fair star also read several of the plain-spoken texts that Keaton had sent her over the years. "Moron, what is your address?" read one, according to Paulson. "We are so fortunate. Do you love being an actress? I don't," read another.

Many of the Godfather star's messages to Paulson involved complaining about the latter's full voice mailbox. "As usual, your voicemail is full. What makes you so f------ popular?" read Paulson.
Referencing Paulson's partner Holland Taylor, whom the Emmy winner has dated since 2015, Keaton apparently texted, "You are impossible to contact. I'm going to talk to Holland about you. First of all, you remain unreachable by phone. What the f--- are you doing? One of your very few old friends."

Keaton also praised Taylor, 82, as "full of energy" in another text, per Paulson. "She's a force, totally charming, unique. You, on the other hand, you are a numbskull. It's sad, you had so much potential."
Joining Paulson at the event was Hawn, 80, who starred alongside Keaton in First Wives Club.
"She just cannot be gone. No one like that should ever die. She just brought so much joy, so much life, so much exuberance. She was like lightning in a bottle," the actress said through tears.

Keaton is survived by two children, daughter Dexter and son Duke.
"The Keaton family are very grateful for the extraordinary messages of love and support they have received these past few days on behalf of their beloved Diane," read a statement from her family on the day she died.
