‘Scoop’ Star Gillian Anderson Says Few Publications ‘Respect the Truth’ and ‘Treat Their Audience as Adults’


"Scoop" star Gillian Anderson talks the state of post-Donald Trump journalism and how a fourth season of "The Fall" almost happened.

A force of nature in the entertainment industry, Anderson’s perhaps best known for her role as FBI special agent Dana Scully in the supernatural series “The X-Files,” where she captivated audiences, set a new standard for female characters in science fiction and picked up four Emmy noms and one win for lead drama actress in 1997. She also starred alongside Jamie Dornan in the crime drama “The Fall,” playing Stella Gibson, a tenacious detective with a complex personal life.
