Early life

[edit]

Gillian Leigh Anderson was born in Chicago on August 9, 1968,[1] the daughter of computer analyst and neurofibromatosis support group leader Rosemary "Posie" Alyce (née Lane)[2][3][4] and film editing company owner Homer Edward "Ed" Anderson III.[5][6] Soon after her birth, her parents moved to Puerto Rico for 15 months before relocating to London so her father could attend the London Film School.[7] She lived in Crouch End and Harringay,[8] and attended Coleridge Primary School.[9] When she was 11 years old, her family returned to the U.S. and settled in Grand Rapids, Michigan,[10] maintaining an apartment in London and spending their summers there.[11] Having always intended to return to London, she later moved there in 2002.[12] In Grand Rapids, she attended Fountain Elementary and City High-Middle School.[13] She later said of her time there, "We were in a small Republican town. There were only six punks there. We were weird. It's not like London."[14]

Anderson is the eldest of three siblings. Her brother Aaron, who was diagnosed with neurofibromatosis, died in 2011 of a brain tumor at the age of 30. He was a DJ, mentor, and practicing Buddhist, and was in his second year of a PhD program in developmental psychology at Stanford University when he was diagnosed with glioblastoma in 2008.[15][16] Her sister Zoe is a ceramicist, whom she has called "an exceptional artist".[17] Anderson went through a rebellious stage as a young girl in Grand Rapids, taking drugs, dating a much older boyfriend, and cultivating a punk appearance (dying her hair various colors, shaving the sides of her head, sporting a nose piercing and an all-black wardrobe).[11][13][18] She was put in therapy at the age of 14.[14] She listened to bands like Dead Kennedys and Skinny Puppy. She was voted by her classmates as "class clown", "most bizarre girl", and "most likely to be arrested". She was indeed arrested on graduation night for breaking into her high school in an attempt to glue the locks of the doors shut.[19] She later managed to reduce the charges from breaking and entering to trespassing.[20]

Anderson was interested in marine biology at an early age, but later became more interested in theatre and began acting in high school productions during her first year and later in community theatre.[13] She also served as a student intern at the Grand Rapids Civic Theatre & School of Theatre Arts.[21] After graduating from high school in 1986, she returned to her birthplace of Chicago to attend The Theatre School at DePaul University, where she earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts in 1990.[22] She also participated in the American National Theater and Academy's summer program at Cornell University.[13] To support herself financially during her student years, she worked at the Goose Island Brewery in Chicago. After she became famous, the brewery named one of their Belgian-style farmhouse ales "Gillian".[12]

Career

[edit]

1990s

Anderson moved to New York City at the age of 22 and worked as a waitress to support herself.[23] She began her career in Alan Ayckbourn's play Absent Friends at the Manhattan Theatre Club alongside Brenda Blethyn;[24] for her role she won the 1990–91 Theatre World Award for "Best Newcomer".[25] Her next theatrical role was in Christopher Hampton's The Philanthropist at the Long Wharf Theatre in New Haven, Connecticut.[26]

Anderson moved to Los Angeles in 1992 and spent a year auditioning. The same year, she appeared in her first feature-length film, The Turning, starring Karen Allen and Tess Harper. The film drama is an adaptation of the play Home Fires Burning.[23]

Although she had once vowed she would never do television work, being out of work for a year changed her mindset. Anderson recalled: "First of all, I swore I'd never move to Los Angeles, and once I did, I swore I'd never do television. It was only after being out of work for almost a year that I began going in [to auditions] on some stuff that I would pray that I wouldn't get because I didn't want to be involved in it."[23] She broke into mainstream television in 1993 with a guest appearance on the collegiate drama, Class of '96, on the fledgling Fox Network.[7]

As a result of this guest appearance, Anderson was sent the script for The X-Files. She was 24 when she decided to audition because, "for the first time in a long time, the script involved a strong, independent, intelligent woman as a lead character."[27] Producer Chris Carter wanted to hire her, but Fox wanted someone with previous television exposure and greater sex appeal.[23] Fox sent in more actresses, but Carter stood by Anderson, and she was eventually cast as FBI Special Agent Dana Scully. Filmed for the first five seasons in Vancouver, British Columbia, before moving to Los Angeles, the series ran for nine seasons. Two related films were also produced, released in 1998 and 2008. During her time on The X-Files, Anderson won numerous awards for her portrayal of Special Agent Scully, including an Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series,[28] a Golden Globe Award for Best Actress in a Television Series Drama, two Screen Actors Guild Awards for Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Drama Series and a Saturn Award for Best Actress on Television. Anderson is the first actress to win an Emmy, a Golden Globe, and a SAG Award in the same year.[29] For the role, she received a total of four Emmy nominations, four Golden Globe nominations and nine SAG nominations.[13]

We got a lot of letters all the time, and I was told quite frequently by girls who were going into the medical world or the science world or the FBI world or other worlds that I reigned, that they were pursuing those pursuits because of the character of Scully. And I said, 'Yay!'

—Anderson on "The Scully Effect"[30]

Anderson was the first woman to write and direct an episode of The X-Files ("all things"). During its run – between the fifth and sixth seasons – Anderson co-starred in The X-Files: Fight the Future, a 1998 film that continued The X-Files storyline. Anderson also provided the voice for a parody of her Scully character in "The Springfield Files", an episode of the animated comedy television series The Simpsons. While filming The X-Files, she met assistant art director Clyde Klotz, who became her first husband.[13] Anderson's character on The X-Files initiated a phenomenon referred to as "The Scully Effect"; as the medical doctor and the FBI Special Agent inspired many young women to pursue careers in science, medicine, and law enforcement. It contributed to the increase in the number of women in those fields.[31][32] "The Scully Effect" remains a subject of academic inquiry.[33]

In 1996, Anderson narrated the television documentaries Spies Above and Why Planes Go Down. While hosting the BBC documentary series Future Fantastic, she became impressed by the theme music of the show, by the electronic duo Hal and initiated a collaboration with them. In 1997, Anderson provided spoken word vocals and starred in the music video for their single "Extremis", which was frequently aired on MTV. She also helped to assemble an album of electronic music, Future: A Journey Through The Electronic Underground, for Virgin Records, which won praise from European music critics.[34][35]

In 1997, Anderson appeared in the independent film Chicago Cab. In 1998, she starred in the film Playing by Heart.[7] Anderson also had a supporting role in the film The Mighty.[7] In 1999, Anderson had a supporting role in the English-language release of Hayao Miyazaki's Princess Mononoke, where she voiced the character of Moro. Anderson is a fan of Studio Ghibli and Miyazaki's work.[36] She also took part in Eve Ensler's The Vagina Monologues.[37]

Their daughter was born on September 25, 1994.[7][13] The X-Files creator and showrunner Chris Carter named the episode "Piper Maru" after the couple's daughter.

I know that I feel that London is home and I'm very happy with that as my home. I love London as a city and I feel very comfortable there. In terms of identity, I'm still a bit baffled."[146] In a September 2024 interview with the BBC, Anderson elaborated further stating: "My cells are American, but my soul is British".[147]

Anderson has said: "What comes across powerfully from this amazing footage is how healthy and confident these people appear. I hope they can be left alone – but that will only happen if the loggers are stopped."[201] In June 2011, Anderson became an ambassador for Survival International.[202] In September 2015, Anderson was among the artists who signed a letter calling for a new approach to conservation that would respect tribal peoples' rights.[203]
