The actress talks to BAZAAR.com about how she tackled portraying the polarizing Paula Jones in 'American Crime Story: Impeachment.'
—take center stage. Jones was a major figure in the investigative case and the media circus that followed. The first woman to accuse the former president of sexual misconduct, she and her accusations only gained the spotlight when news of the president's inappropriate affair with former White House intern Monica Lewinsky came to light.is that they force us to take a closer look at a moment in history that we were complicit in as a culture," Ashford tells.
The other thing that's interesting to me about Paula Jones is she's got a very extreme dialect. She had a very extreme look that was just brutalized by the media and the comedy world of the '90s. I found that my entry point into this story as a young teenager was through late-night comedy, and most of the knowledge that I had was people making jokes about her coming from a trailer park and about her looks.
Were there any lessons you took away from filming, especially while working with such a star-studded cast? We incorporated that physicality on camera. That included me having multiple hair changes, a prosthetic nose, really specific costuming, and really matching up to what she had, because [the overall look] was part of her journey. She had multiple makeovers during her time in the public eye that were pushed on her. She had braces; she had a nose job that was paid for. I found that to be heartbreaking as an actor and as a human.
