Sarah Paulson is channeling serial killer Aileen Wuornos on the set of Ryan Murphy's Monster season 4, giving fans their first glimpse of the transformation. The actress looks worlds away from her usual self in new photos from Los Angeles. This marks another dark tale in the anthology series, which focuses mainly on Lizzie Borden.
Oh honey, hold onto your coffee because Sarah Paulson is serving full-on serial killer realness! 😱 TMZ snagged the first photos of Sarah fully in character as Aileen Wuornos while filming Monster season 4 in Los Angeles. She's rocking dyed hair and a casual set look: bathrobe over an undershirt, sweats, and slippers. Talk about unrecognizable – it's like she stepped straight out of the '90s underbelly.
For the uninitiated, Aileen Wuornos was the real-life Florida prostitute who murdered seven men between 1989 and 1990, shooting her clients at point-blank range. She got convicted, sentenced to death, and executed by lethal injection in October 2022, according to reports. Charlize Theron famously brought her to life in the 2003 biopic Monster, snagging an Oscar for that gritty performance. Aileen's story has also popped up in a Netflix doc called Aileen: Queen of the Serial Killers.
Now, Ryan Murphy is weaving Wuornos into season 4, which is primarily centered on Lizzie Borden – you know, the axe-wielding icon. Sarah's taking a swing at this harrowing role, and if her American Horror Story chops are any indication, it's gonna be a wild ride. Move over, Charlize; Sarah's here to reimagine the monster. But with Lizzie in the mix, how messy will this season get? Spill your theories in the comments! 👀
