GIllian
Leigh Anderson
was born in Chicago, IL on August
9, 1968. In 1970 a young Gillian and her parents
moved to England when she was only 2 years old. When Gillian
turned 11, her family moved back to the United States to
Grand Rapids, Michigan. There Gillian attended
school in Fountain Elementary and City High in Grand Rapids,
Michigan. Giliian began to
take an interrest in acting and began to study acting at
DePaul University and after she graduated from High School
(1986), Gillian moved to New York, where she studied with
the National Theatre of Great Britain at Cornell University.
There she played the leading role in a play called "Absent
Friends". For that performance Gillian received a "Theater
World Award" (1991). Miss Anderson eventually returns
to finish her Bachelor
of Fine Arts degree.
She later moved to Los Angeles, Her only previous role in
television before The X-Files,
was a guest spot in the short-lived series, Class of
96. Although
a dry spell followed after that, she later made a low-budget
feature "The Turning"
(with Tess Harper and Karen Allen) (1997), and starred in
the Christopher Hampton play "The Philanthropist".
Then,
in 1993, Gillian made her breakthrough audition for a new
series called " The X-Files
". There she met assistant art director Clyde Klotz.
They got married on New Year's Day (1994), married Clyde
Klotz on the 17th hole of a golf course in Hawaii by a buddist
priest. A few months later Gillian found out that she was
pregnant. At first she thought that this would be the end
of her career on "The X-Files" but she was wrong.
Chris Carter and the great team of writers managed to keep
Gillian's pregnancy out of the show completely! So after
giving birth to a daughter "Piper Maru Anderson"
in September 1994, Gillian returned to the show and no one
noticed that she had become a mother! Gillian thanked Chris
Carter for his help by, naming him Piper's godfather. Gillian
and Clyde were divorced during early 1997 and are now separated.
This turned out to be Gillian's big break with "The
X Files" (1993) (with David Duchovny) as Dana Scully.
Her film career started with the movie Turning, The (1997)
in 1997 and the following year she starred in Playing by
Heart (1998).
