Actress Sarah Paulson will be portraying Linda Tripp — a key figure in the 1998 President Clinton sex scandal that culminated in his impeachment in the U.S. House of Representatives — in the upcoming season of “American Crime Story: Impeachment” on FX. Speaking with Deadline, the actress discussed the challenge of finding “the humanity” of Tripp while portraying her.
According to Paulson, who portrayed prosecutor Marcia Clarke in the previous season about the O.J. Simpson trial, she had to avoid sitting in judgment on Tripp for the role she played in the impeachment — a trick she learned while shooting “12 Years a Slave.”
