Fine wine wishes it aged like Gillian Anderson.

[Downhuman]

Seriously, she's more gorgeous now than ever.

[ludzeppelin]

peak beauty at 55 is insane, she's prettier than ever

[Mustlovebooks]

She’s one of those amazing women who played a character so well it had an effect on the world. Her character in x-files was so badass that a whole wave of women went into STEM fields. She didn’t make a change because of looks, she made a change because she’s so badass.

[Sunlit_Reading]

I love how she just embodies so much strength and presence and is unapologetic about it.

[SuperAdker]

She was the youngest to win Emmy award for lead actress in 1997 or 1998 until Zendaya broke the record in recent years

[SirHenryMaximo]

Absolutely no one can say Mulder the way she does!

I loved Gillian Anderson in every single role I saw her play. Such a wonderfully talented actress!

[tiffanywithnoco]

I swear she’s the only Autocomplete interviewee who wouldn’t drop those stickers on the floor. She just held them in her hand or just pasted them on the arm of the chair! Says a lot about her fastidious character! Marry me Gillian 🤩

[JosephGallagher]

"He played Fox Mulder, I played Danna Scully in a series called The X-Files... for about 6000 years" Hahahaha, ILYSM

[miconaval]

It would be a lie if it didn't include a single David Duchovny question🤣 love them both

[echoism]

got crush on her since The X-Files... and still now

[pingidjit]

Even though I know she played Margaret Thatcher in The Crown, I couldn't see it then and I still can't see it now. That make-up department deserves awards for sure. She looked entirely different and Gillian Anderson molded her stance, speech, mannerisms and everything else perfectly. She disappears so successfully into Thatcher. Incredible. She is iconic for nearly every role she has every played.

[noushin]

No questions about "The Fall"?! One of her greatest role IMHO.

[AliceRizzpers]

Gillian anderson is aging like fine wine. I LOVE HER SMMM

[thekiss]

I love that she puts all the stickers on the armrest in an orderly fashion, then starts keeping them crumpled up in her free hand. Extremely relatable

[TJS]

For the record I have just finished watching X-files 1-9 seasons marathon, it was awesome.

[c-vo]

No mentioning of her brilliant role in Hannibal? 😭😭😭

[sxxs]

i love her nonchalant attitude 😂 somehow makes her more attractive

[Aaron-zlgq]

knowing she was a fan of Miyazaki just makes me love her that much more that she was casted for Morrow

[centocerez]

Got the biggest crush on her in the X-Files days....Still do ❤
