Scully.

[layne67]

Looking forward to watching Gillian Anderson on BBC's Great Expectations. She seems to appear in a lot of British productions lately. She was the Duchess of Windsor in Any Human Heart and I thought she did a great job there. Then I saw her in Johnny English Reborn and while I thought she was good ( I'm probably biased since I adore Gillian Anderson ever since her Scully days ), apparently her English accent in that movie was flat?

Anyway, I was curious as to why her appearances lately were mostly ( all? ) in British productions so I looked her up on the internet. So, she has now relocated to London! And apparently she grew up in London before moving back to the US where she had to lose her British accent fast when she was made fun of by her schoolmates. And lol, in her school yearbook, she was named Class Clown and most likely to get arrested. You wouldn't have imagined that for Scully now, would you?

My kid loves The X-Files and we have been marathoning the series. Guh, how I LOVE Mulder/Scully *sighs* Pity they didn't hook up in real life. Lol, I really hated Tea Leoni at one time - still not a fan for that matter. But Gillian is now happily in relationship and has three children, so ♥


Aren't they so lovely together?


le sigh ...


Love is in the air.


Pretty in white.

Late night cuddlings.


HEE!


One for the grandchildren.


From their wedding album.


Ahem, 20 years later and still happily together.

Note : I like it that Gillian Anderson is still as lovely as ever. After 20 years, it's usually the men who hardly age. Go girl!

Any Gillian Anderson fans here?

She's one of the most brilliant and beautiful women alive, in my opinion! I love her and David together and agree on Tea, blech.

I also thought her accent was a bit flat but i like her as actress very much.
Great picspam.

I used to enjoy watching X-Files. Great set of pics! <3

I love the story how Chris Carter stuck to his decision in choosing her to play Scully when the other executives thought she wasn't sexy enough. Hah.

I saw the movie Tower Heist a while back, Tea was in it, and yup, blech.

It did cross my mind that her character itself in Johnny English was flat but since I'm no expert on British accents, I thought that was fine until I read the movie reviews. My love for her has remained all these years!

I love it until it got really, really weird at the end. I stopped watching when Duchovny quit the show but I still love the earlier seasons to bits ( and Gillian! ).

It was fun googling for the pics, some of which I'd never seen before :)

To me, it's unbelievable that anyone wouldn't find her sexy. But to me she is just the perfect combination of beauty and intelligence. BUT I know she probably wasn't the stereotypical female actress or character on a show at that time. And the show was already kind of weird/risky due to subject matter, so I guess maybe they didn't want to take any more risks.

Worked out great in the end though!

When I was googling about her, I found some snark comments on her British accent. I can't tell whether it's good or bad, I thought it was alright and you know, she used to live in England before and I assume that her "new" accent came naturally. Any idea whether her accent is good or bad, natural or put on?

Hugh Laurie speaks American like a natural and I never saw anyone putting him down for that, so I wonder about Gilian.
