Gillian Anderson started playing buttoned-up Agent Scully in cult TV show The X-Files when she was 25 years old, in 1993. Nearly 20 years later, Gillian is looking crazy-amazing at age 43! Is it just us or does she grow more gorgeous with age?

The naturally blond actress just wrapped Great Expections for PBS's famed Masterpiece Classic after turning down an offer to play Lady Grantham on Downton Abbey! We'll see Gillian return to the small screen this fall in BBC TV's new psychological thriller The Fall.
