Bill Clinton (Sort of) Apologizes to Monica Lewinsky: ‘I Feel Terrible’ That It ‘Defined’ Her
On a January morning in 1998, Bill Clinton sat at the edge of the White House bed he shared with his wife, Hillary. “There’s going to be a story in the newspaper…” he said.
The new Hulu documentary series Hillary contains what may be the most detailed and emotionally candid account yet of the Monica Lewinsky scandal and how it affected the marriage of the then-President and First Lady, featuring lengthy interviews with both Bill and Hillary.
Told in four hour-long episodes, Hillary premiered Saturday afternoon at the Sundance Film Festival, ahead of its debut March 6 on Hulu. Directed by Nanette Burstein (On the Ropes), the series juxtaposes the major themes, controversies, and mistakes of Clinton’s 2016 presidential campaign with the formative experiences and news stories from her early life, relationship with Bill Clinton, and time in the public eye as first lady, senator, and secretary of state.
