Gillian Anderson, who rose to fame as FBI Special Agent Dana Scully in The X-Files in 1993, has enjoyed a four-decade career spanning film, television and theatre.The British-American actress gained a new generation of fans as sex therapist Dr Jean Milburn in Netflix’s Sex Education (2019-2023). She also won an Emmy and a Golden Globe in 2021 for her portrayal of Margaret Thatcher in The Crown.However, Anderson, 58, says her latest project, the queer slasher film Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma, has attracted more attention than anything she has done before.Written and directed by Jane Schoenbrun, the film follows filmmaker Kris Williams, played by Hacks star Hannah Einbinder, who is hired to resurrect the Camp Miasma slasher franchise after years of lacklustre sequels and dwindling fandom.But when Kris visits the original film’s star, Billy Presley, played by Anderson, she encounters a reclusive actress shrouded in mystery.
