Gillian Anderson plays agent Dana Scully on the sci-fi TV show The X-Files. The show premiered in 1993 and grew into a cult hit, making stars of Anderson and her co-star David Duchovny. The ascendancy of The X-Files matched the mid-1990s boom in the Internet, and Gillian Anderson became one of the first popular Web pinups, along with Pamela Anderson of Baywatch and Teri Hatcher of Superman.
