(CNN) -- You may best know her as FBI Special Agent Dana Scully on "The X-Files," but the hit television series transformed Gillian Anderson into something else: a Vancouverite.

The show was filmed in Vancouver, British Columbia, from 1993 to 1998, both as a cost-saving measure and because the city has a moody feel that was perfect for the dark series, Anderson said.

She lived in the city during that time, spending intense 16-hour days bringing Scully to life and enjoying Vancouver in her free time.

Anderson resided in the Caulfeild neighborhood of West Vancouver, her favorite part of the city, she said. The actress now lives in London, England, but she has a property on one of the islands in Vancouver and visits a couple of times a year.

Anderson talked with CNN about her favorite experiences in Vancouver as thousands of people prepare to descend on the city for the Winter Olympics. The following is an edited version of that interview.

CNN: What was your first impression of Vancouver?

Gillian Anderson: It felt very small at the time after living in Chicago and New York and having moved to Los Angeles ... but I grew to appreciate the smallness, because it feels very much like a big diverse neighborhood.

If you look on the map, bits of Vancouver are partitioned by waterways, so it feels like different neighborhoods but all part of the same place. It's got a very unique feel to it.

CNN: Various publications have picked Vancouver as one of the best cities in the world to live in. Do you agree with that?

Anderson: Yes, it appeals to a lot of people. It's so diverse: You have at your disposal beaches and snow-topped mountains and water and forests; there are great restaurants; it's safe to bring kids up. I think it checks a lot of the boxes of what families feel are important qualities.

It always felt very safe. For me, it was always a nice escape from the rest of the world, because it felt very much like I was going away to a private retreat.

CNN: When friends visited you in Vancouver, what were your favorite places to take them to?

Anderson: The first place that a lot of people start is Robson Street, which is a very popular, contemporary [shopping district].

What's beautiful about it is that you see the mountains on one side and the water on the other side of this long strip of shops and coffee shops and boutiques. They've got everything on that street, so that's kind of a fun thing to do.

There's a place called Granville Island, which is an island off of one of the inlets right in the middle of Vancouver. You can rent kayaks from there. There are lots of restaurants. You can walk around; there are shops, food markets; there's a lot of stores that sell Canadian and Native Canadian wares.

There's a seawall that you can ride bikes around in Stanley Park. It's a beautiful park that has a teahouse and walks and trails.

You can take a gondola up to Grouse Mountain, which is really beautiful up in the clouds. You can sit at the top and have hot chocolate or a stiff drink and enjoy the view of the city.

CNN: Are you an outdoors person? Do you like hiking and biking?

Anderson: Not generally. I'm a bit of a hermit, but I have friends who used to enjoy doing that stuff while I was working. [Laughs]

CNN: What are some of your favorite restaurants in Vancouver?

Anderson: There's a wonderful restaurant on Robson Street called Cin Cin. It's Italian and very good.

There's another fantastic restaurant that's Indian, called Vij's.

There's also a sushi restaurant called Tojo's, which is exceptional.

CNN: Do you miss Vancouver?

Anderson: I do. I miss spending time there. When I started thinking about talking to you about it, I started to get melancholy. It's a really lovely place.

CNN: Are you going to the Olympics?

Anderson: No. ... We're actually going to be in a very, very warm country at that time.

CNN: What are your favorite Winter Olympics events?

Anderson: My 3-year-old really likes ski jump, so we'll probably be watching some of that. I enjoy [less dangerous events] like ice skating rather than the things that can get you killed.

Интересное интервью. По нему видно, что Джиллиан не хило так ориентируется в Ванкувере, даром что прожила там столько лет.

А ice skating - это вроде фигурное катание, а не конькобежный спорт?

[Fenix]

Виктория, спасибо

[Shadow]

Фигурное катание - figure skating

[Виктория]

По нему видно, что Джиллиан не хило так ориентируется в Ванкувере, даром что прожила там столько лет.

И до сих пор там частый гость, насколько я знаю, у неё там действительно дом

Shadow права

[Milagro]

И до сих пор там частый гость, насколько я знаю, у неё там действительно дом

Она где-то говорила, что Пайпер часто в Ванкувере гостит у отца. Джиллиан соотвенно за компанию)))
Мне интересно, в какие теплые края она опять собирается?

Джиллиан вроде как будет сниматься вот в этом фильме:

Title: The Precious One

Director: Roger Spottiswoode

Producers: James Morcan, Lance Morcan, Genevieve Hofmeyr

Cast: Gillian Anderson, Nick Nolte, Kevin Hart, Tatyana Ali, Viola Davis, John Rhys-Davies, Arnold Vosloo

Genre: Drama / Biography

The story chronicles the inspirational true-life story of colored weightlifter Precious McKenzie's journey to overcome incredible odds from extreme poverty and hardship in white-ruled South Africa, through to his gold medal victory at the 1966 Commonwealth Games in Jamaica. While still an infant, Precious' father is killed by a crocodile. Unable to cope with grinding poverty, Precious' mother turns to drink and loses custody of her children. Precious and his little sister Gloria are placed in the care of foster parents who treat them like slaves. In his early adulthood, Precious accidentally discovers his gift for weightlifting. He recognizes the sport is his only chance to lift himself out of destitution and rise above the politics of racial discrimination. Early in his weightlifting career, Precious meets Elizabeth, a beautiful colored girl who is as spirited and feisty as he is. They fall in love and, after a whirlwind romance, marry. Precious competes in national tournaments and quickly establishes himself as the best weightlifter in South Africa. Despite his total dominance in the sport, his skin color prevents him from representing his country. But the closer Precious gets to competing at the Olympics, the more obstacles are placed in his path by the white South African Government. Now in his late twenties, and sensing that his best years are slipping away, he decides to migrate to England in the desperate hope he can compete internationally. Almost penniless, Precious flees from South Africa with Elizabeth to make one last-ditch attempt to receive the recognition he deserves.

Съёмки начинаются в августе в Южной Африке.

Не будет никакого "Драгоценного", на их сайте имя Джиллиан в составе актёров заменили на Ким Бесинджер. Наверно, оно и к лучшему, сюжет мне не очень был

Спасибо за фотографии, Виктория
Меня тут просили спросить Кажется, были какие-то слухи, что Джиллиан будет сниматься в одной из серий сериала "Доктор Кто". Это такой бесконечный сериал про космос и всё такое. Так вот правда ли это? Заранее спасибо за ответ
