Clinton impeachment FX’S next ‘American Crime Story’
FX said the next chapter of its “American Crime Story” series will dramatize the impeachment of former President Bill Clinton. The miniseries will air Sept. 27, 2020, within weeks of the general election.
Monica Lewinsky, the central figure in Clinton’s impeachment, is a producer for the limited series titled “Impeachment: American Crime Story.”
FX said the drama will unravel the national scandal that also involved Paula Jones and Linda Tripp and will be seen through the women’s viewpoint.
Sarah Paulson will play Tripp, with Annaleigh Ashford portraying Jones and Beanie Feldstein as Lewinsky.
‘Grease’ star Newton-john looks at every day as a ‘gift’
During an interview with “60 Minutes Australia,” Olivia Newton-john revealed that she chooses not to focus on how much time doctors say she has left amid her battle with stage 4 breast cancer.
“When you’re given a cancer diagnosis or a scary honest diagnosis, you’re suddenly given a possibility of a time limit,” the singer/actress said.
“If somebody tells you, ‘You have six months to live,’ very possibly you will because you believe that. So for me, psychologically, it’s better not to have any idea of what they expect, or what the last person that has what you have lived, so I don’t tune in.”
Newton-john, 70, is battling cancer for the third time.
In 1992, she was diagnosed with breast cancer. After a car accident in 2013, doctors found cancer in her shoulder.
Last year, the “Physical” songstress revealed she has cancer on her back, with a tumor at the base of her spine.
