Sarah Paulson and Holland Taylor
There is a significant age gap between Holland, who is 74 and Sarah who is 42. These incredibly gifted actresses have been together since 2015 and prove that love conquers all regardless of age or gender. When Sarah was just 25 years old, doctors discovered a melanoma growing on her back. Thankfully, the cancer was removed early enough to be safely removed early enough and it did not spread further into her body. Thank goodness!
