As someone who comfortably straddles the New Zealand and American accents, I have to say it’s more trouble than it’s worth. You never quite have the smooth command over language that you need to not have it be immediately noticeable.
I think The X Files typecast her in Hollywood but moving back to England after the show was over was the best move she made for her career. And she's a far better actress now or are at least the opportunity to showcase her talent has been more present. I agree that she's been underrated; she's better than Hollywood rated her.
well the problem is i think she's been type cast as Scully. unfortunately that tends to happen when you've spent so long in one role that you tend to get typecast im afraid.
I remember back in the nineties she was on the cover of all the magazines and listed regularly at that time as one of the most beautiful women in the world but by god I think she’s even sexier now that she was then, it’s the looks, the accent, her elegance and inner confidence, she’s a hottie.
@TrueFree Thinker Physically, she’s become leaner & more sinuous. But also she’s more elegant, intellectually interesting & defined as a personality now. Maybe X Files, being objectified as a sex symbol & playing 2nd fiddle to David Duchovny in Hollywood didn’t allow her to show or explore the parts of her personality the way her return to high caliber British TV has.
She a regal, graceful, intelligent actress. Her acting skills just get better and better. The Fall was amazing work. In Hannibal, she was mesmerizing. In A Streetcar Named Desire, wickedly outrageous. And in the Crown as PM Thatcher, spectacular.
I recently watched the series: 'The Fall' (dont know how I missed it first time round!). The police character Gillian played was outstanding, and had such gravitas. Though the drama covered incredibly harrowing subject matter, the consistency and solidity of her performance was astonishing, and kept me spellbound. Her acting has an amazing 'centredness'. Brava Gillian!
She's the only actress I've ever followed ever since I was in high school. I became a massive fan of the X-Files at the start of its 2nd season and while she's gone on to phenomenal roles since then, she'll always be Agent Scully to me.
@@CrazyWatcher670 your statement negates all of the talented DIVERSE folks who've recently won awards. As if the ONLY reason they won was Bc of their color or creed. Shameful. Awards have ALWAYS been political. Period. It's never been strictly talent based. if you're nominated, it's an acknowledgment of your skill and dedication to the craft. Actually winning an award is a numbers game. P
2 episodes in and I already think she's the best character on The Crown! Her portrayal and the direction does not make us symphatize, but it does put the audience in her perspective. Just so fun seeing the crash between her vs. the queen.
Anderson’s “Media” in “American Gods” was absolutely incredible. It was an imitation of a real like person by a fictional character. She did Lucille Ball, David Bowie, Marilyn Monroe and Judy Garland in parody yet you detected the fictional Media behind the voice. It was wild- so unexpectedly good. Anderson is a powerful actor. I love her! 😘
Such an amazing actor. At first I was put off by her Thatcher, but by episode two I was just totally seeing Thatcher like she was this completely different, original, complex person (unique but still similar to real life Thatcher). Give her every award.
She was my idol back in my school days as I was obsessed watching xfiles I even remember dyeing my hair red and cutting so short when all girls in class had long hair
I grew up with her. Following her selective roles, while through them kidda maturing her character, into what I realise today she has become: an actress who respect the personalities that is performing. Astonishing performance in Margaret's Thatcher role!
May I just say without starting a riot, I watch these interviews to hear the person's answers. She puts a lot of thought and time into her answers and does not deserve to be drowned out by piano music. It's a nice touch because she's in a bare room that echos a bit, but seriously, Somewhere around 7 min. in it was almost drowning her out. lucky for you it was Gillian Anderson or I'd have moved on.
Watched her in "A Streetcar Named Desire" I think it was here on RUclips? Anyway, was just going to watch a few minutes (very long play) just to check it out & ended up watching the whole play because of Ms. Andersons amazing non stop performance!!! This is a Mega Talented Actress+++
Не знаю интервью, тогда проходило в этот момент, мне стало большое то, что было много заседаний, постоянно друг с другом общались, ездили в разные страны мира, летали в разные страны и вас, как встречали и разные страны и вас, как встречали самолёты. Не прям вот сразу пок поглаживали по головке, так неужели так можно сыграть эту роль, но просто реальность, это реальность, надо же так роль вы сделали, смогли это всё передать как настоящий? В этот вся целиком и полностью, но это просто. Ну нет слов: эмоции, эмоции я вас и не узнала это, я потому, что наказывается это так роль играли, и всё ссорились 7, это не интересно. Политические вопросы решать-это тоже очень надо уметь, неужели так всё у вас так получилось, молодец, надо держать именно так-так держать всегда и сниматься побольше таких фильмах, таких полнометражных, как это кино оно стало. Вот оно транслировалось везде и очень приятно, что вот так вот открыли сейчас, вот так небольшую студию по этому поводу-это приятно мне есть много слов сказать, правда съёмки идеальные, потому что. Ну надо, так я не знаю, как сканер не сканер. Это всё сканирует, я не знаю, что делается, но именно передать такую суть всего этого, это надо суметь то, что там так играли, там понятно, женщина она была в престарелом возрасте, да, но сыграть такую роль, это надо уметь молодец, так держать.😊лайк
I found her Thatcher powerful and compelling but exaggerated in odd vocal mannerisms and overplayed body language, but she was, overall, greatly able to inhabit this character.
Is it just me or she is getting prettier and prettier? Fantastic actress! Huge fan of X-files! I felt that David Duchovny did the aging for both of them, but Gillian Anderson never aged a day.
Her Lady Dedlock in BBC amazing production of "Bleak House" about a decade ago was such a visceral performance. The fear, the longing, the profound sadness and regret
Harper's, What a marvelous setting for this beautiful, intelligent woman. Well Done whoever chose this setting, and the gorgeous dress. You know your creativity well.. you highlight and don't fight with your subject, the beauty SHINES. Have a wonderful day! You made mine.
I was a big fan of her as Scully in the X-files and thought she became more beautiful as she got older during the series. Even now she is amazingly attractive for her age. I do like her American accent better though and that's not being American bias because I don't feel that way about all actors and actresses
Technically, not British. She was born in Chicago, Illinois, to two American parents. They lived in Puerto Rico until she was 15 months old. They then relocated to London so her father could attend film school. When she was 11, the family moved back to the United States permanently, but would often spend summers in London. I believe her two siblings were born in the U.S. She attended college in Chicago, then pursued her acting career first in New York, then in Los Angeles. Seasons 1-5 of The X-Files were filmed in Vancouver, Canada, where her daughter was born. Seasons 6-9 were filmed in Los Angeles. After nine seasons on the X-Files, she permanently relocated to London at the age of 33. Her two sons were born in London. Maybe she should be characterized as Mid-Atlantic Ocean. 🤔
27 years later and I can still barely contain my crush on this woman 😍
I feel it in my pants.
Same
She only gets more sexy with age if you ask me
Why do you need to contain it lol
27 years, gay - and I still can't contain it either!
She’s the Meryl Streep of television, don’t even try to fight me on this. 👑
In her best form, She's better
She's better than Meryl Streep.
Who cares for Meryl Streep?
This.
And theatre
She is aging like a fine wine
She looks better now than she did in the 90s!!
@@chelseagirl278 oh she was very beautiful back then, and still is. Her looks changes but equally gorgeous.
Foundation makeup can work wonders on skin you know....
Is she aging? I hadn't noticed.
She's aging???
I can't believe her role as Hannibal's psychologist, Bedelia du Murieur never is brought up or even mentioned. She was genius in that role
I loved her In that role - omg
right?! i loved her as bedelia
Yep LOVED that Series
The show varies by person so probably why.
She has this weird in between American and British accent that’s so cool.
She switches her accent depending on if she is interviewing for American or British company.
@@Opocrious thanks I’m aware.
As someone who comfortably straddles the New Zealand and American accents, I have to say it’s more trouble than it’s worth. You never quite have the smooth command over language that you need to not have it be immediately noticeable.
@@Dunmerdog It’s cute though 🙂
I think she grew up in London and then moved to America. So that's where she acquired her accent
Oh god she’s insanely gorgeous and talented what a killer combination

No she isn't. She's an actress. What does she have to do to not be underrated?

She’s great in Netflix’s The Fall.
OMG Yes !
I love this serie!
That's actually not a Netflix show. They just bought the rights. It aired years ago on UK TV.
The Fall was acutally BBC TV profuction not Netflix
Doesn't matter who produced it , Anderson was great -- possibly better role than Thatcher role , in my opinion.
She 110% deserves an Oscar for her portrayal of Margret Thatcher, The voice and mannerisms where spot on.
😂😂
is a tv show not a movie, so she can`t be nominated for an academy award.
uh do you mean an Emmy? Oscar is for movies.
Emmy...
The voice was terrible and didn’t sound like Thatcher at all
She is like the woman that is hotter is her 50s than in her 30s
I guess the key word here is class. Age gave her class. Of course, class need to be learned, and you need time. :)
She’s the textbook definition of that very thing.
@TrueFree Thinker Physically, she’s become leaner & more sinuous. But also she’s more elegant, intellectually interesting & defined as a personality now.

Agreed. She's inspo.
I can't believe that the woman who plays Margaret Thatcher is this attractive and likable. It's like they are two different people. Amazing.
She is an actress. That’s what they do!
They are two different people......😟
I knowwwww. I was trying to compliment her.
@@eileenvandernoot3867 Well said. That is their profession.

She practises yoga, tai chi & daily meditation
This is one celebrity crush I am never getting over. What an absolute gem!
Gillian Anderson has such elegance and sophistication what an icon

I liked her when I first saw her in X-files and that hasn’t diminished yet.
Love love love her. What an eloquent classy woman
She’s more beautiful now than she was 25 years ago. Looks younger than her 52 years too.
I need her to win an Oscar, otherwise the Academy are just a bunch of clowns...
Haven't they always been that?

Emmys for television.
But she'd have to be in a movie first.
Well this is definitely a case for X files. She’s the ‘curious case of Gillian Anderson’. Just getting more beautiful and youthful by the minute!
Beauty, elegance and class. She is far better than the expensive red wine. More beautiful now than during her X files period.
First saw her in the X Files Pilot Episode ......loved her ever since. God bless her.
2 episodes in and I already think she's the best character on The Crown! Her portrayal and the direction does not make us symphatize, but it does put the audience in her perspective. Just so fun seeing the crash between her vs. the queen.
Her Margaret Thatcher was INCREDIBLE. She is amazing.
I love how she became an "actor's actor." Well done, Gillian.
she could really take over the world if she ever decides to start a cult
Her migrating accent is so fascinating to me. It’s always closer to the accent of whichever country the media outlet that is interviewing her is from.
Imagine being in the same room as Gillian Anderson lol... What a lucky bunch!
this woman is just... I am in awe with her talent & beauty.
Her beauty shines, and as Mrs. Thatcher she made a phenomenal transformation. Well done, Gillian!
I thought nothing could top Meryl's performance, but then I saw her in The Crown, and she definitely topped Meryl in the Iron Lady
Anderson’s “Media” in “American Gods” was absolutely incredible. It was an imitation of a real like person by a fictional character. She did Lucille Ball, David Bowie, Marilyn Monroe and Judy Garland in parody yet you detected the fictional Media behind the voice. It was wild- so unexpectedly good. Anderson is a powerful actor.

She is just MARVELOUS as Margaret Thatcher! I love her voice!
Yes isn't she, excellent. One forgets at times that it is Gillian.
Cannon WAIT to see her in the crown. She’ll nail this!! This season will be so epic 😍 i See an Emmy coming!
Why do I get chills hearing her voice!?!
She took the season in her hands. I run a sound program with the original voice of Margaret Thatcher and then I play her voice. I was speechless.
Always love her in x files. She is surprising in the crown. She never goes out of season. Always something to look forward in her retinue
She must be up for an award for her role as Thatcher, she was incredible!
I can’t take my eyes of her! She so FANTASTIC ❤️
I love when people are eloquent and is not using always the same words...also, can we talk about how beautiful her skin looks?
Read on description... you just missed her role as Bedelia duMerier in Hannibal. She has amazing voice as Bedelia.
*breathily whisper* I believe you.

She’s so elegant 🥺💛
I didn’t ask her to save me but she just did.

I find her so fascinating... oh and BEAUTIFUL OF COURSE.
Splendid insight of an actress world, it's really wonderful to see Gillian again, simply brilliant
Last week I viewed The Fall for the second time. Very good acting and seeing her was every second fun.
American Gods lost it's magic when she was no longer around. Loved her as Ziggy!
agreed!
“Apologize.”

Her accent has changed from living in the UK. Another tick for those linguistic/sociological theories
She’s dialectal. Being raised in the UK and North America

“Always show up for job interview, as if you’ve already got the job”
That’s actually did work for me…
Take my whole friggin heart, Gillian, I beg of you.
How is that this woman gets more beautiful with age? Truly an amazing, beautiful, and talented person.
This woman is perfection
I'm deeply in love with Gillian; my gosh she is pretty 😍😍😍
She still look equally gorgeous as her X-Files days
Is it just me or she is getting prettier and prettier? Fantastic actress! Huge fan of X-files! I felt that David Duchovny did the aging for both of them, but Gillian Anderson never aged a day.
That’s because Duchovny is a hand model. Only his hand was hermetically sealed from the aging elements of oxygen
David has aged quite well though. He just happens to be 8 years older than Mrs. Anderson. For his age, he looks great.
Maybe thats because he is almost a decade older than her?? I met the dude two years ago, he looks amazing.
She's HOT omg
I loved her acting, she killed it omg she better win an Emmy.
Never rated her as an actress, until now, my god she was a brilliant Margaret Thatcher
I'm completely addicted to her
Her Lady Dedlock in BBC amazing production of "Bleak House" about a decade ago was such a visceral performance. The fear, the longing, the profound sadness and regret
Just waoooo very class and aristocratic and kind and very difficult rolll you are the best jilian Anderson
