She's popped up on a few shows. She spent her youth here, and her accent is beginning to lapse every now and then into a very flat & noticeable English brogue.
I still remember her seeing her off the show on Letterman or Leno in the mid-nineties. She was dumb as a box of hair* with a big awful horse laugh. My post-grad nerd crush was simply shattered.
*although that may have seemed more pronounced since my only comparison for her was her sharp, well-spoken Scully. I've since seen her in a few things and, dumb or not, she's actually a hell of an actress.
Going marginally off topic, my eyes popped out of my head when Myleene Klass presented R&J instead of Emma Bunton. Of course, I told myself it was out of respect for the fact that she can do the fucking job (unlike Bunton, who either got told to bugger off, or gave up), but it was even better when Gillian Anderson turned up as well.
I think Anderson's actually been acting over here for a while in stage plays, and she was in Bleak House last year. I like it when you hear her accent changing.
Oh and Richard Madeley really needs to work on his fake praise of movies he doesn't enjoy. "It's REALLY GOOD..., no, it is. REALLY GOOD."
You can tell she's been in England. SHE'S OBTAINED BAD TEETH, LIVES IN AN ESTATE SURROUNDED BY ISLAMIC FUDAMENTALISTS AND WALKS ABOUT SHOUTING "PIP PIP" A LOT LUL STANDARD BBS YANKEE ATTEMPT AT ENGLISH PWNAGE!
"X-Files: I Want to Believe" executive producer Frank Spotnitz believes that the film did poorly not because of low awareness but because "we [Fox] weren’t counter-programming, like "Step Brothers" and "Mama Mia!" were. If you were looking for a dark, scary movie experience, you were almost certainly going to "The Dark Knight" that weekend, unless you happened to be a big X-Files fan."
So is her accent like Madonna's, who wishes she had an English accent and talks that way? Sort of like how my dad and b-i-l talk to hispanics, in an American hispanic accent?

No, because she spent the first 10+ or so ears of her life here, so she actually sounded like a cockney, until moving to the states. Unlike Madonna's, which just sounds like an American trying to be posh, Anderson's was noticeably breaking into a hybrid version of an English accent - kinda like a young kid who had moved from here to the States and had spent a couple of months in school.
