Not a One-dimensional Portrait: Gillian Anderson on Playing Margaret Thatcher in 'The Crown'
News 18London: Actor Gillian Anderson, who is set to play Margaret Thatcher on the royal period drama “The Crown”, says fans will be surprised to see an emotional side to the former British Prime Minister in the upcoming season. The fourth chapter of the critically-acclaimed Netflix series will mark the return of Oscar winner Olivia Colman as UK monarch Queen Elizabeth II, Tobias Menzies as Prince Philip and Helena Bonham Carter as Princess Margaret. According to Anderson, the show paints a “whole portrait” of Thatcher, a complex woman who defined an era, just like her contemporary Queen Elizabeth II. Anderson, best known for her work in the American sci-fi drama “The X-Files” and British comedy-drama television series “Sex Education”, said finding the distinctive voice of the former UK PM was the most important aspect of playing the role.
