“We are honoured to welcome Gillian Anderson to the L’Oréal Paris family.

Playing strong, independent women
Born in Chicago, raised in London and Michigan, Gillian embodied the spirit of the times as Special Agent Dana Scully in the long-running series The X-Files. Her iconic role went on to inspire a new generation of women to pursue careers in medicine, science and law enforcement in a phenomenon that became known as “The Scully Effect”.
Since then, she has become renowned for playing strong, independent female characters, attracting acclaim on both stage and screen in productions such as A Streetcar Named Desire, All About Eve, The House of Mirth, The Last King of Scotland, The Fall, Sex Education, The Crown, along with 2024’s films Scoop and The Salt Path.
A versatile and dedicated actress, Gillian Anderson has won two Emmys, two Golden Globes, four SAG Awards, and an honorary OBE (2016) for her services to drama.
“Women are extraordinary; unique, complex, brilliant, beautiful inside and out, at every age. Yet the conventional narrative surrounding women and aging, rarely, if ever reflects that. L’Oréal Paris has championed women of all ages for decades, and I’m thrilled to join them as they inspire women to break free from stereotypes and put themselves at the center of their own stories.”
