Breaking News from Hollywood: 20th Television has signed Monica Lewinsky’s production company Alt Ending Productions to a first-look producing deal according to The Hollywood Reporter:
“The news comes as Lewinsky is prepping the latest installment of the American Crime Story anthology series, Impeachment: American Crime Story, for which she serves as a hands-on producer.
As its title suggests, Impeachment will chronicle the events that led to the first impeachment of a sitting president in over a century.”
What happened to the then 22 year old at the hands of arguably the most powerful man in the western world at the time, is one of the most opprobrious, reprehensible, shameful acts in American political and social history.
That Bill Clinton is still feted in “ruling elite” circles as some kind of superstar is unforgivable. He, along with his wife Hillary who aided and abetted the attempted destruction of a misguided young woman, with absolutely no regard for how much damage they did to her, remains a gargantuan blot on US history.
Of all people, surely the Clintons deserve to be cancelled?
To her credit, Monica Lewinsky survived and has gone from strength to strength. Her speeches (many of which are on YouTube) are touching, memorable and inspirational. What a great name she’s chosen for her production company: Alt Ending Productions. It has a distinctive creative twist to it doesn’t it? Not often a company name brings a smile!
“I’m interested in storytelling that is entertaining, thought-provoking and emotion-stirring – that moves a conversation forward by exploring the human condition from an unexpected lens. That’s what excites me about forming Alt Ending Productions and working with 20th Television,” Lewinsky added in a statement of her own. “Having had my own story hijacked for many years, I’m very interested in the voices or perspectives we historically don’t hear from or see. They’re brimming with untapped potential. I look forward to working with and learning from visionary women like Karey Burke and [20th TV Exec VP Development] Carolyn Cassidy and owe a special debt to Ryan Murphy for championing me as a producer.”
“I did not have sexual relations with that woman”
Will be interesting to see what Alt Ending Productions comes up with – if you’ll pardon the pun!
