Paula Jones Doesn’t Love The Portrayal Of Her On “Impeachment: American Crime Story”
Annaleigh Ashford plays Paula Jones on Ryan Murphy’s latest historical wigstravaganza for the FX network, Impeachment: American Crime Story. Annaleigh recently spoke to Vanity Fair about her portrayal, and explained that it was very important to her that her performance be rooted in truth, and didn’t want to be an “impression” or a “caricature.” Well, if you ask Paula Jones herself, which Inside Edition did, she will tell you in no uncertain terms that Annaleigh’s version of her is cartoonish, insulting, inaccurate, and deeply offensive. To add insult to crunchy-banged injury, Paula is also very mad that Annaleigh never once called her before slipping into a scrunchie and vocal twang.
Sarah Paulson Regrets Wearing A Fat Suit To Play Linda Tripp In “Impeachment: American Crime Story”
In Impeachment: American Crime Story, which follows the Bill Clinton/Monica Lewinsky scandal, Sarah Paulson plays Linda Tripp, who died last April at the age of 70. Well, Sarah herself doesn’t only play the role of Linda Tripp. Sarah got some help from a straw wig, rubber face pieces, and padding. And in an interview with The Los Angeles Times, Sarah talks about her regret of wearing one of Mrs. Doubtfire’s leftovers and won’t do that in the future. Unlike Julianne Moore who is always game!
The Full Trailer For “Impeachment: American Crime Story” Is Here
After teasing the first look at the series that will no doubt go on to sweep the Emmys and cause massive waves of mid-90s nostalgia for The Gap, FX has dropped the first trailer for Ryan Murphy’s Impeachment: American Crime Story. We get to see what everyone looks like in Impeachment-era styling, wigs, and prosthetics. Just like all Ryan Murphy projects, the results are achieved with varying degrees of success. Some look great (Beanie Feldstein’s turn as Monica Lewinsky) and others will make you wonder what is going on (Clive Owen’s best estimate of a Bill Clinton impression). But I have to hand it to Ryan for the perfect casting in that television above. Nothing brings me back to 1998 like the low-frequency buzz and aggressive static shock I’d get from sitting too close to the ol’ Sony Trinitron tube TV.
Billy Eichner Will Play Matt Drudge In “American Crime Story: Impeachment”
The next installment of Ryan Murphy’s American Crime Story is all about the impeachment of Bill Clinton, and we learned last year that Beanie Feldstein will play Monica Lewinsky, Annaleigh Ashford is Paula Jones, Sarah Paulson is Linda Tripp, and Clive Owen is William Jefferson “Slick Willie” Clinton. Deadline is giving us one more name to add to that list, and it’s prolific street yeller Billy Eichner, who has landed the role of Matt Drudge, the first person to publish the news of the Lewinsky scandal.
