FIRST LOOK: Clive Owen and Edie Falco make incredible transformations into Bill and Hillary Clinton on set of Impeachment: American Crime Story
UK Daily Mail ^ | 5/14/2021 | Sarah Abraham

Clive Owen and Edie Falco made incredible transformations into Bill Clinton and Hillary Clinton for Ryan Murphy's star-studded anthology series about the infamous Monica Lewinsky scandal.

Though the project has been filming over over the last couple weeks in Los Angeles, it was the first time 56-year-old Owen and 57-year-old Falco were seen as the 42nd president and first lady.

The series - titled Impeachment: American Crime Story - will dive into Bill's infamous affair with his White House intern and the following Impeachment trial which occurred from December 1998 to February 1999.

The series also stars Beanie Feldstein (Book Smart) as Monica, and Sarah Paulson as Linda Tripp — the woman whose audio recordings of the explicit conversations led to the trial.

Mira Sorvino was tapped to play Monica's mom Marcia and Annaleigh Ashford will play Paula Jones — the woman whose 1994 sexual harassment lawsuit against Clinton set the stage for impeachment.

The star-studded cast will also be rounded out by Betty Gilpin as Ann Coulter and Billy Eichner as Matt Drudge.

Lots of pics at the link. Many of the actors look darn close to the real folks. Except Monica Lewinsky. Among all the actresses out there, they chose one who is obviously less cute than Monica was in 1998. Odd.

The world is clamoring for LESS Clintons, not more.

Will the Birth of FR be in the movie? :-) The events are intimately related!

That would be cool.

Yeah wow. Can’t see the clown playing Clinton cuz he’s wearing a mask, and Hillary looks like she has a potato for a nose. Dead on.

If I looked like either one of them I’d crawl into a cave.

When those two piece of pond scum came on the scene, that’s when the US government went into overdrive with corruption and treason and why we are in this mess today. I use to catalog every crime, every act of treason by the Clintons and then I got fed up because nobody ever paid attention or did anything. So many that people forget about. For example remember Arlington gate? Larry Lawrence paying to be buried in Arlington even though he never served a day in the military? The Clinton cabal was selling PLOTS IN ARLINGTON! HELLO! AND THEY IMPEACH TRUMP OVER A F***ING PHONE CALL????

Some of the other actors do bear a strong resemblance, but I’m not seeing it with Bill and Hillary. Falco doesn’t really look like her, but she does have the evil smile down pat. She probably needs a little more crazy in the eyes. With Owen — who can tell with the mask?

The current corruption of the fbi can be traced directly back to Bubba and The Beast

C’mon Cap, you know you want to see Billy Boy doing his soggy cigar boogie with Monica!

It was the “Whitewater Thread” that brought me here many years ago!

Hard pass, I am from Arkansas and I just don’t want to see anything else about the Clinton’s.

Falco looks more like Andrea Mitchell, and Owen looks more like Kevin McCarthy with frizzy hair.

Some tall, skinny fag. Seriously, do we really need to reheat a 25 year old jumbalaya of Guess Bent Willy's Favorite Humidor and Who Else Might Be Floating In It? These cretins have already walked away unscathed once already.

The real proof of good casting will be if the woman can break glass with her shrieking howl and her ability to throw a lamp.

What is the slant of the story?

I have seen efforts to claim that the Clintons were shamelessly pursued and pure as the driven snow.
