Beanie Feldstein Seen In Costume as Monica Lewinsky on 'Impeachment' Set with Sarah Paulson

Here’s your first look at Beanie Feldstein in character as Monica Lewinsky for the upcoming series, Impeachment: American Crime Story!

The 27-year-old Booksmart actress was spotted on set alongside co-star Sarah Paulson on Thursday (December 10) in Los Angeles.

Beanie‘s casting in Impeachment was announced in August 2019, so we’ve been waiting a while to see her in costume. The show is being made by Ryan Murphy and follows the retelling of President Bill Clinton‘s impeachment and relationship with Monica Lewinsky.

The two actresses were both wearing face shields and face masks, so we didn’t get a super clear look at them.

“Sarah Paulson is playing Linda Tripp,” Beanie said in an interview with Variety last year. “I love her more than anything and I’ve always been her no. 1 fan. I think I’ve modeled my life over her life in any way I can. We were always emailing — we had never met, but we were, just in life, had been set up on email and were chatting and when I found out…If you know the story, [Lewinsky and Tripp] are best friends and then one deeply betrays the other one, [Paulson’s character] betrays me and I just couldn’t be more excited to play that out with the person I think to be one of the best actors of all time. And she’s just so funny and warm and giving, so to take this journey with her is going to be really exciting.”
