Gillian Anderson Biography

Gillian Leigh Anderson was born in Chicago, Illinois on August 9, 1968. Soon after her birth, the family relocated to Puerto Rico for 15 months and then moved to England. Gillian spent the next 9 years of her childhood growing up in London's North End - first in Stamford Hill and later in Crouch End - while her father Edward studied film production at the London School of Film Technique in Covent Garden for 2 years. Eventually the family moved back to the U.S.A. and settled in Grand Rapids where her father ran a film post-production company and her mother worked as a computer analyst.

We say give G.A a ‘Jason Bourne’ type script and expense account …then we’ll see G.A beyond her true light –though she may wish another genre- in a most honest female/woman perspective ...and make Jason look like her nephew. Best, Bro-V

unFame Posted Essay; Hollywood’s US iron-curtain media-monopoly * ‘F**k Hollywood’: this is what gillian anderson said to corp hollywood years ago, in no uncertain terms. the new generation’s ideology motto “F**k hollywood”, which seems, at first glance ...self-destructive ...immature ...childishly and simplistic via their very choice of slogan is as follows ...to paraphrase, “if you are a one that must have even the slightest how, when, what, where and why in order to identify, or prove this obvious— in-your-face—US media monopoly, or prior to taking action, ...well, you are a big part of the problem ...’f**k hollywood’ ...ignore them completely ...it’s past negotiating ...it’s past intelligent queries ...don’t talk to me about nazis ...do something, anything ...NOW!” ...and they, we, are. ...the internet arts and media, without hollywood. * weapons down and surrender: as tom cruise’s new film pointedly suggest (after his recent and near fatal stance against the old regime) ...the corp hollywood executives which are closest to the hitler-type, hollywood-top-dogs are fully aware that they are fighting an unstoppable force—not just the US, the world—and their reputation is complete in it’s being so horrified that it is seldom even spoken out-loud. moreover, anderson’s labor-law stance and DOCUMENTED case most assuredly helped put the current arts labor-laws in place ...made it possible for others (all in the industry, actors especially) to have children without becoming estranged to their own child, via unfair nazi-like hollywood contracts. perhaps anderson will be honored publicly, soon enough, for at least this contribution to the arts|media monopoly battle--for the freedom of speech in the arts. * to lose your head over it: current hollywood in la, ca. has had 90 years to become a manipulating expert in this fight. to engage in it is insanity. i’m in agreement with the new generation’s ideology. it seems to be the only way to win against a giant—stop playing with it. (see above). address the now, the peoples game—the internet arts--not hollywood. hollywood is not synonymous with the arts ...hollywood is a place ...and is a tyrant, consumer and politically based conglomerate corp puppet at the will of governing powers, no more, no less. us artisans are not politicians and we do not reside in one particular place ...we are everywhere and no where at the same time ...this makes us a powerful entity in our own right, not to mention being the mouth, and the heart of society, the people—expressing freely the human experience in creative ways of “the now”. ‘f**k hollywood’. corp hollywood’s nazi-like reputation precedes them when attempting to capture UK. and as you stated, when all unit against this iron-curtain freedom of speech violations against the people, which is attempting to spread globally ...as long as we individually, in a group effort do something, anything ...to stop pretending ...stop being self-deceivers (as pre ww2 germany did) ...to take responsibility ...history has shown that the masses are indeed the majority, and can be a fierce movement in demanding change ...and right now! all artisans around the globe are jumping on board to produce their works via our technology without hollywood’s approval, authority or censorship. moreover, the masses are demanding untainted, global news, information, and data. as you have said, the new era is upon us. societies grow, change and i try not to be emotional about it. wisdom with heart is that which i grasp for, not fleeting passion, especially in such a vital quest for free arts and media. * like a movie script!: i have little doubt gillian anderson is more surprised than any, regarding her story, landing right at the crux of this fight ...and perhaps the very sacrifice needed to start this unstoppable “crack in the dam” (see past others failed attempts—in the late 1940’s) leading to the potential, and final downfall of a corrupt regime monopolizing the arts, and media--as their vehicle for dominance. this very real thing is indeed life interpreting art and art interpreting life. a fine script with all the goods and evils, heartaches, challenges, oppressions, wars, heroines and heroes, villains, story and mysteries depicting this current era’s human experience. it would be explosive movie or play! someone, somewhere is probably already working on it * my life with integrity: as a published photo journalist living in La, CA. and internet investigative reporter i have been researching and working on the gillian anderson’s story for about one year. she and her untold story is nothing as i thought when i first began this particular journalistic project. i discovered that one cannot mention the current quest for freedom of speech in the arts|media without thinking about that firecracker, anderson. my studies and research in the arts’ current fight became synonymous with anderson’s untold story. they inadvertently joined. also, in doing my part in this current monopoly fight, i discovered that it’s best to completely ignore all current mainstream arts|media, except that of the internet--questioning that too. moreover, i’ve learned to ignore corp hollywood’s plots, schemes, subsidiaries, next move, arguments, and the like ...that is playing with the giant or corp hollywood’s game ...it’s constructed to be intentionally too convoluted to sort out when much needed efforts are best utilized in the arts, as they are becoming and supporting that. ‘f**k hollywood’. the new generation’ s game is that it doesn’t matter much, now, how the horse lived or died, since it’s dead to us—unless to learn from for future happenings. “as crafty as a snake and innocent as a dove.” it’s not necessarily natzi-like hollywood’s moves (except those obviously corrupt) that are twisted but their thought, intent and motives behind those moves—greed and brutality. (see anderson’s untold story) * Keep questioning everything!!: right on. until later becomes soon enough...hee ...hee, best wishes the vis**tor, friends| unFame.com, FirstShowing.net thanks contactmusic for having me
