Margaret Thatcher's Memorable Remarks: A Video Mash-up | The New York Times

I’m here to compare Gillian Anderson to the real Margaret 😄

[karinr]

she talks pretty normal compared to her portrayal on the show

[creoloko]

Came here after The Crown (as most of you reading this). I honestly wanted to check if Margaret’s voice was similar as Gillian has portrayed, but she definitely exaggerated lol

[annbrew]

Gillian’s impersonation of her seems over the top, after watching this.

[lekeisha.crawford_mathys]

Who's waiting for Gillian Anderson in The Crown to play Margaret Thatcher?

[beatjunkybg]

Gillian overdid the voice and the hair is huge lol...

[sebastianthomson]

I can't wait for season 4 of The Crown.

[haniyasaba]

Her voice sounds so normal and she looks way more younger than in the crown..

[CzolgoszWorkinMan]

Gillian Anderson made her sound like she was on the cusp of death her whole tenure. She may have been a ghoul but she wasn't literally a reanimated corpse.

[isabelljean]

I wonder why Gillian did her voice like that, she sounded normal.

[stevefox]

Not everyone was a fan of thatcher but she was a strong woman who took no nonsense and did not care if she was unpopular and our country needs someone like her again.

[jameswinn]

Gillian Anderson totally over-acts her role of Thatcher. It’s a travesty. Meryl Streep nailed it.

[joestewart-paul]

Not a fan, but I have to admit, she had style.

[davidkonevky]

As much as she is a mixed bag to me, I can give credit where credit is due, her perspective on being a woman in a man-dominated place is very mature and fresh. I like how she never says that being a woman makes her any different from her male coworkers, and that titles like "first female prime minister" are just useless titles to her, because skill is more important than gender.

[dinushka]

Gillian's voice is nothing like Margaret's. It was so annoying to listen to her talk like that all the time on the show.

[twoohoot]

Gillian sounds like an SNL version of Margaret in the crown. It's a shame because it really stands out in a bad way between all the more life like performances

[Rputaytion]

Love her or hate her, but you cannot disregard the fact that she was a woman of character and grit

[just_cade]

She was definitely a powerful speaker.

[Bevity]

When Gillian Thatcher says anything, I have to squeal with laughter. It never gets old.

[simaomonteiro]

Can't wait to see Gillian Anderson playing her in The Crown.
