Agent Scully has never looked so good. The X-Files actress Gillian Anderson wowed in a sexy black gown on the red carpet for the Great Expectations premiere during the 2012 RomaFictionFest in Rome, Italy on Oct. 1.

A plunging neckline that left very little to the imagination had all eyes focused on the newly-blond star. The 44-year-old star doesn’t appear to have ... [Continua a leggere]

Al RomaFictionFest abbiamo assistito all'anteprima della miniserie della BBC "Great Expectations", voluta per celebrare il bicentenario della nascita di Charles Dickens. Pubblicato nel 1860-61, "Grandi Speranze" è considerato uno dei suoi romanzi più sofisticati e popolari, e Miss Havisham è senza dubbio il più complesso fra i personaggi: una nobile donna che, dopo essere stata abbandonata dal promesso sposo il giorno delle nozze, decide di lasciare la sua casa immutata da quel momento, fermando tutti gli orologi e non togliendosi mai più l'abito da sposa.

“Piercing, orecchini, catene e avevo perfino la cresta punk”. Per anni l'abbiamo vista in tailleur pronta a dare la caccia agli alieni, ma c'è stato un tempo in cui Gillian Anderson sfoggiava tutt'altra mise. Ne parliamo con lei nel giorno in cui il suo Great Expectations (miniserie BBC che adatta il capolavoro Grandi speranze di Dickens) viene presentato al RomaFictionFest. Ma torniamo a qualche ora prima, quando un gruppo di giornalisti esce dall'incontro con la Anderson con uno strano muso lungo e in chiaro disappunto. “Non aspettarti un'attrice disponibile e pront ...
