Gillian Anderson


I read Gillian Anderson will be playing battle-axe Maggie Thatcher on The Crown. That should be something to see. Anderson has been more interesting, at least to me, than her partner in crime solving David Duchovny, who's actually a pretty breezy writer. She's done more interesting films and series and has been nominated for Olivier awards for her stage work. But the real key to Anderson's allure is her being bidialectical, which means that Downton accent she uses in The Fall is authentically hers.
