Gillian Anderson feels like that high school English Lit teacher who you were terrified of, but also admired, and so you'd work your ass off in her class.

I loved that Gillian's accent keeps shifting between American and British during this interview. She's too precious!

Gillian is so good at telling anecdotes and stories. She always makes them entertaining with little details, descriptions, and humour.

What truly lovely women, quite obvious neither are royalists but they were able to be gracious and charming about the whole thing non the less.

Olivia Colman seems to be a very sweet person and her part in The Crown is pure perfection. Anderson also is absolutely stunning as Thatcher. Amazing ladies.

...that was such great acting by Britain's very best!

I love Olivia Colman! My first introduction to her was on Broadchurch with David Tennant. I've loved her work ever since.

Olivia and Gillian are fantastic actresses and I swear that while both are lovely, I think Gillian actually ages backwards!🤔
