    Fine wine wishes it aged like Gillian Anderson.
  • @Downhuman74
    Seriously, she's more gorgeous now than ever.
  • @SuperAdker
    She was the youngest to win Emmy award for lead actress in 1997 or 1998 until Zendaya broke the record in recent years
  • @Mustlovebooks15
    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.
  • @ludzeppelin
    peak beauty at 55 is insane, she's prettier than ever
  • @JosephGallagher
    "He played Fox Mulder, I played Danna Scully in a series called The X-Files... for about 6000 years" Hahahaha, ILYSM
  • @miconaval8451
    It would be a lie if it didn't include a single David Duchovny question🤣 love them both
  • @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 🤩
  • @echoism666
    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.
  • @c-3vo
    No mentioning of her brilliant role in Hannibal? 😭😭😭
  • @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!
  • @Aaron-zl5gq
    knowing she was a fan of Miyazaki just makes me love her that much more that she was casted for Morrow
  • @noushin8
    No questions about "The Fall"?! One of her greatest role IMHO.
  • @AliseBella
    Gillian anderson is aging like fine wine. I LOVE HER SMMM
  • @Sheena4583
    Gillian Anderson is one of the OGs for women. Her role as Scully helped to change the landscape for women not just in TV and cinema but in real life.
  • @centocerez
    Got the biggest crush on her in the X-Files days....Still do ❤
