It could be said that Gillian Anderson is a bit of an X File: an unknown
quantity whose meteoric rise to stardom suggested extraterrestrial
assistance (and I don't mean Sky TV). Unlike David Duchovny, she has
avoided the urge to take on every part going; to his list of flops -
romantic comedy, medical thriller, road movie - she has low budget
flick The Turning, and art-house sleeper Dancing About Architecture.
Then auteur Terence Davies cast her in his adaptation of The House Of
Mirth. The world's most talented redhead?
