Gillian Anderson

She had roles in a handful of films during the run of The X-Files, including the starring role in The House of Mirth, an adaptation of the Edith Wharton novel of the same name. Since the end of production on the The X-Files, she has performed in several stage productions, in addition to working on various film projects. Madge Bellamy died of heart failure in Upland, California. (An alien-abduction storyline explained her brief absence from the series for delivery.) Anderson and Klotz later divorced. In 1943 she shot her lover, Stanwood Murphy, which generated much publicity at the time. She made her last screen appearance in 1945. There she met assistant art director Clyde Klotz, whom she married and with whom she had a daughter, Piper Maru, in 1994. The move left her out of work until she agreed to return to Hollywood in 1932, demoted to appearing in low-budget "B" pictures. In 1993, she had a guest appearance on the collegiate drama Class of '96 on the fledgling Fox Network, and auditioned for the role of Dana Scully on The X-Files. She at first made the transition to sound film starting in 1928, but the next year after an argument with the Fox Studio demanded her contract be torn up and left the studio.

Following some professional stage work, she "broke in" to television. She turned down a lucrative role in Ben-Hur, saying she didn't care to work around horses. She attended Goodman Theater School of Drama at DePaul University in Chicago, where she earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts in 1990. She was known as sometimes impetuous. She found an outlet for her creativity when she started acting in high school and community theatre productions. After 4 years with Famous Players her contract was picked up by Fox Films. She had her nose pierced in the early 1980s, dyed her hair various colors, and was arrested for gluing the locks of the school closed. She became a Hollywood star of the silent movie era.

Her family then moved to Grand Rapids, Michigan, where she attended City Middle/High School, a program for gifted students. With her English accent and background, she felt alienated in the surroundings of the American Midwest, and developed a reputation as a strong-willed and rebellious teenager. After various stage work she made her film debut in 1920. She was born in Chicago, but lived in London until she was 11 years old. She ran away to New York City at age 17, and soon was working as an actor and dancer on Broadway. Gillian Leigh Anderson (born August 9, 1968) is an American actress, best known for her role as FBI Agent Dana Scully in the American TV series The X-Files. Bellamy was born in Hillsboro, Texas as Margaret Derden Philpott. Her favourite X-Files episode is "Triangle". Madge Bellamy (30 June 1899 - 24 January 1990) was a United States movie actress.

X-Files director, creator, writer and actor Chris Carter is godfather to her child. The X-Files episode "Piper Maru" is named after her child, Piper. She was giving birth when it was filmed. The only X-Files episode she did not appear in is "3", in Season 2.

Performed nude alongside co-star David Duchovny in the X-Files episode "One Son". She has been quoted as saying she doesn't mind; "It's just people getting their rocks off.".
