New drama about Monica Lewinsky’s affair with Bill Clinton revealed
American Crime Story: Impeachment, which stars Beanie Feldstein as the 22-year-old White House intern opposite Clive Owen as Clinton, is set to air in the US next month
The first-look trailer for a new drama about Monica Lewinsky’s much-publicised affair with US President Bill Clinton was unveiled this week.
American Crime Story: Impeachment, which stars Beanie Feldstein as the 22-year-old White House intern opposite Clive Owen as Clinton, is set to air in the US next month, with a UK date yet to be finalised.
The new clip shows Monica walking through the grand halls of the famed Washington DC residence before entering the Oval Office.
“Mr President,” the president’s secretary says, before adding: “M. Lewinsky’s here to see you.”
The series is based on Jeffrey Toobin’s best-seller A Vast Conspiracy: The Real Story Of The Sex Scandal That Nearly Brought Down A President.
Lewinsky herself is producing the show, which also stars Edie Falco as Hillary Clinton and Sarah Paulson as prominent American civil servant Linda Tripp, who secretly recorded confidential conversations between herself and the young intern.
These tapes were later used as evidence in the trial, with Clinton eventually being impeached as president in December 1998.
Impeachment also stars Margo Martindale, Anthony Green, Betty Gilpin and Colin Hanks.
