The crowd got to their feet as Gillian Anderson came out to start her panel in the Marriott Atrium ballroom Sunday afternoon. She started off the panel by assuring everyone she was not drunk during her panel on Saturday. That’s just how she is, she said. For the first half hour, Anderson answered questions from the moderator before taking questions from the audience. The conversation focused predominantly on the projects she currently has out or that will be out soon, including three movies, Shadow Dancer, Mr. Morgan’s Last Love, and Sister (L’enfant d’en haut).

Ecco le prime indiscrezioni su cosa vedremo nella nuova edizione dell’evento dedicato alla fiction nostrana e internazionale
A quanto pare sia stato avvistato un U.F.O. nei pressi di Roma. Da quanto si dice sembra sia stata chiamata in causa, per risolvere il caso, addirittura l’agente Dana Scully. Scherzi a parte, in quel di Roma, secondo quanto riportato da Il Messaggero, sarà proprio Gillian Anderson, protagonista femminile di X-files, una delle star della nuova edizione del RomaFictionFest, che si svolgerà dal 30 settembre al 5 ottobre. L’attrice, in occasione del suo ritorno sul piccolo schermo nei panni di Miss Havisham in Great Expectations, sarà presente al festival per ritir ... [Continua a leggere]

She was once voted the world's sexiest woman. Now Gillian Anderson has set tongues wagging by attending a glittering lesbian ball. She talks to Eleanor Mills about her new thriller, her passion for London - and why she enjoys a complicated life. Portraits: Harry Borden
It was the most glamorous party of the summer. For the first time a high-profile, women-only showbiz do gathered Britain's most successful ladies under the aegis of a glossy magazine to mingle, chat and giggle. In a white-leather tuxedo, Mary Portas, Queen of Shops, proudly showed off her pregnant partner, Melanie Rickey, while lesbian literary royalty in the form of Jeanette Winterson and her new belle, Susie Orbach, Princess Diana's therapist, hung out with Emma Freud and Hollywood stars, including Gillian Anderson. After the paparazzi blitz that accompanied her every move as the iconic Age ... [Continua a leggere]
Gillian Anderson and David Duchovny made their Comic-Con Ballroom 20 entrance on Thursday among darkness, with flashlights in hand, to celebrate The X-Files‘ 20th anniversary and survey the show’s future. (Yes, we said future.) They were joined by a star-studded lineup of writers/EPs – creator Chris Carter, Vince Gilligan (Breaking Bad), Howard Gordon (Homeland) and John Shiban (Hell on Wheels), to name a few – to reminiscence about Mulder and Scully’s relationship and more. ‘SHIPPER ALERT | What are Anderson’s thoughts on the characters, now that 2 ...

Gillian Anderson’s childhood was spent in Puerto Rico, the US and England. Since then she has never lived in any one place for more than four years. No wonder she’s so elusive…
It’s a frustrating business interviewing Gillian Anderson. She turns up bang on time and alone, no entourage. She’s intelligent, articulate and unexpectedly obliging: her agent had said a photo shoot was out of the question, but after our meeting Anderson gets in touch to say she’ll do one. In fact, I like her very much. All the same, she gives little away. In recent times she has made it clear to interviewers that she has no interest in talking about the phenomenally successful TV series that made her a household name, The X-Files. Fair enough: it’s 10 years sinc ... [Continua a leggere]
A dieci anni dal finale, ripensiamo a temi e suggestioni della serie di Chris Carter, ma soprattutto all'impronta impossibile da ignorare sulla televisione contemporanea.
19 Maggio 2002. Sui televisori americani scorrevano le ultime immagini dell'episodio La verità, che segnava il traguardo di un viaggio durato nove anni, quello di X-Files. Un percorso articolato, fatto di tensione ma anche ironia, di paranoia cospirazionista ma abile e realistico approfondimento dei personaggi, di dialoghi elaborati e messa in scena all'avanguardia. Un segmento di storia televisiva che di fatto segna una linea di confine tra il passato e il futuro. Uno spaccato di storia del piccolo schermo che distende la sua lunga ombra fino ai giorni nostri, definendo quella che &egr ... [Continua a leggere]
Gillian Anderson goes Gothic as Miss Havisham on ‘Great Expectations’
Anyone who remembers Gillian Anderson from her days as the attractive Dana Scully on “The X-Files” is in for quite a shock when they see her as Miss Havisham, the jilted bride of “Great Expectations” and one of Charles Dickens’ most unforgettable characters. Anderson is unrecognizable: She wears a tattered, yellowing wedding dress. Her hair, matted with unkempt ringlet curls, is the wreckage of an upswept “do.” Her skin, ghostly white, is marred by cracked lips. As played by Anderson, Havisham is in a state of decay as awful as the rotting English man ... [Continua a leggere]
The actress talks mad Miss Havisham, plus X-FILES
Charles Dickens’ novel GREAT EXPECTATIONS is considered one of the classics of Western literature. It has been adapted in many versions for stage, film and television. Now PBS is broadcasting its co-production with the BBC of a new miniseries adaptation of GREAT EXPECTATIONS in its Masterpiece Theatre Classic showcase, with one hour tonight at 9 PM and two hours next Sunday, also starting at 9 PM. For those unfamiliar with the story, financially disadvantaged nineteenth-century youth Pip (Douglas Booth) is bankrolled by a mysterious benefactor. He falls in love with the beautiful E ...

Given the perpetual seriousness of Agent Dana Scully, it should have come as a surprise to no one when Gillian Anderson made the post-X-Files decision to step into deeper dramatic waters, appearing in a London production of Henrik Ibsen’s A Doll’s House as well as television adaptations of such literary fare as Charles Dickens’ Bleak House and Herman Melville’s Moby Dick. But appearing in Johnny English Reborn? Now that was unexpected. Anderson’s latest role, which finds her working closer to anticipated form, is Miss Havisham in Great Expectations, which airs on ...

Si avvicina a grandi passi un importante anniversario televisivo: i 25 anni Fox Tv, la cui prima trasmissione è andata in onda in Usa il 5 aprile 1987. All’epoca Fox Channel era la quarta rete nazionale, venuta a rompere il solido oligopolio delle tre sorelle: ABC, CBS e NBC, guadagnando anno dopo anno la leadership dell’audience tra la fascia di pubblico più giovane. Missione compiuta grazie a serie culto come X-Files, anch’essa vicina ad un importante traguardo: i 20 anni dalla prima puntata. Nove stagioni per un totale di 202 episodi, in onda negli Stati Unit ... [Continua a leggere]
"In the area that I live in, in London, they have a great recycling scheme and also a great compost scheme — they collect and sell the compost and it gets recycled into other things. The money sustains the recycling," says Gillian Anderson, who has lived in England for a decade. Although she's still known best as "The X Files'" Dana Scully, Anderson has made several costume dramas for PBS' "Masterpiece," including "Bleak House," "Any Human Heart," and the latest, "Great Expectations," which casts her as the mysterious, manipulative, tragic Miss Havisham in the adaptation of Charles Dicke ...

PBS's long-running Masterpiece franchise is suddenly cool again, thanks to Downton Abbey, Sherlock, and some new dusted-off Dickens adaptations, the most recent of which features a ravishing Miss Havisham, played by Gillian Anderson. The British-American* actress, much beloved by American audiences for her stint as Dana Scully on The X-Files, previously portrayed Lady Dedlock in Bleak House. Now, for Great Expectations, she's a white-haired wonder who wears her moldering old wedding dress as a reminder of the long-ago day she was jilted at the altar. This adaptation is a salute to the bicenten ... [Continua a leggere]
Gillian Anderson, famous for 'The X-Files,' stuns as Miss Havisham in Sunday’s 'Great Expecations.' She tells Jace Lacob about turning down 'Downton Abbey,' her British accent—and possibly playing Scully again.
Gillian Anderson is no stranger to strange worlds. The former star of The X-Files, which became a worldwide hit and spawned two feature films, Anderson has, for now anyway, traded in Dana Scully’s FBI-issued handgun and severe suits for the tight-laced corsets and flowing frocks of such period dramas as Bleak House, The House of Mirth, Tristram Shandy: A Cock and Bull Story, The Crimson Petal and the White, Moby Dick, and Any Human Heart, in which she played a deliciously conniving Wallace Simpson, complete with a false nose. But it’s Anderson’s jaw-dropping turn as Miss Hav ... [Continua a leggere]
