Betty Gilpin Recites “Manic Poem” To Accept First Emmy For ‘Widow’s Bay’: “Let’s All Lean Towards Sam Shepard & Less Toward Sam Altman”

Betty Gilpin capped a stellar night for Apple TV breakout Widow’s Bay on Sunday by winning the Emmy in the Guest Actress In a Comedy Series category for playing one of the most dramatic — and tragic — characters in the horror comedy: the 18th century Sarah Westcott Warren.

Betty Gilpin's character, Sarah Westcott Warren, is based on a real historical figure known for her connection to spiritualism, which was a popular movement in the 18th century.
