| Gillian Anderson started her career as a member of an amateur actor group, while at high school. Her love of the theatre took her to the national theatre of Great Britain at the Cornell University of Ithaca, in New York. Afterwards, Anderson left for the Goodman Theatre School of the DePaul University in Chicago, where she finished her education. Her big break came with "The X Files" (1993) (with David Duchovny) as Dana Scully. There, she met her future husband (Clyde Klotz), marrying on January 1st 1994. One month later, Gillian was pregnant. Her daughter, Piper Anderson, was born on the 25th September 1994. Her film career started with the movie The Turning (1992) in 1997 and, the following year, she starred in Playing by Heart (1998) with Sean Connery, Ellen Burstyn, Angelina Jolie and Dennis Quaid. I got a new tattoo in a very innocent place. On my inner right ankle. It was painful. It felt like I was at the dentist and they were drilling into my bone. I got it done in Tahiti, the birthplace of tattooing. It's like a tribal design - maybe two inches long and an inch wide. It's hard to describe what it looks like. This fabulous Polynesian guy called George who's tattooed over half his body did it. He's made his own equipment, which was like a sewing needle attached to an old electric razor with a ballpoint pen casing with a shish kebab stick through it. And he plugs it into this battery pack. He's very fast - it only took about ten minutes. when I was having it done, I was thinking, "Why the fuck am I doing this?" But when it was done, I wanted another one done immediately - it's so addictive. If I get another one I'll have it below the small of my back or below my bellybutton. Part of me didn't want to have it done because tattoos are so common now - which is why I got rid of my nose ring - but there's this real bonding thing with people who have tattoos. | |
