After attending the Theatre School at DePaul University in Chicago, Gillian Anderson moved to New York to pursue stardom. She found it by playing the role of FBI Special Agent Dana Scully on The X-Files. That role shot her into the limelight on a global scale, and she began to star in multiple dramas and TV series.

Anderson is also passionate about stage dramas and stage acting, so she spends some time producing these when she’s not actively supporting humanitarian organizations and charities. She was also a redhead and in the 90s there weren’t very many prevalent redheads, so that lent to her charm.
