Product Description
Actress Gillian Anderson is the thinking man?s sex symbol, the earth goddess of the paranormal—and an Internet pinup girl. She?s also FBI agent Dana Scully of The X-Files TV fame. Readers will discover the real person behind the character—and the character behind the person—in Scully X-Posed, the new unauthorized tell-all from Prima Publishing.
Covering everything from her early punk years to her new baby, Scully X-Posed is an indispensable guide to the life and times of Gillian Anderson and her character Dana Scully. The telling revelations include:
• The scoop on Anderson?s marriage and her daughter, Piper
• Scully?s twin passions for medicine and law enforcement
• Gillian?s tattoo
• Scullyisms (?No one does anything without a reason.? p. 164)
• Anderson?s beliefs about UFOs and the paranormal
• The truth about the X-rated photos of Anderson posted on the Internet
The quintessential private person, Anderson manages, despite her fame, to remain slightly detached and remote. Scully X-Posed offers a rare glimpse into the private life of this provocative woman and the fascinating television character she portrays.
Also provided are episode summaries that detail special points such as interesting things to look for, plot problems, and the best lines. Other features include details about costar David Duchovny and the murky origins, mysterious mythology, and latest facts and rumors about The X-Files TV show.

 An average biography on an above average actress November 17, 1998
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
Scully X-Posed is a fairly solid accounting of Gillian's Anderson's life, but not the best out there. It is rather loosely structured and has only a few black and white pictures. The reviews on the X-Files episodes in the back are funny and have some nice tidbits, but overall the book is just an average read.
A well made biography that shows what Scully is really like. July 31, 1998

What can I say about this book? Well, I can certainly say that all you Gillianites and Scullyphiles out there who want to know more about the hardworking actress will want to read this book. Subtract one star for being unauthorized, though.
It is a light hearted biography of Andersons' life July 9, 1998
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
I enjoyed the book immensely, until I read "The Anderson Files" by Shapiro, and I found that many of the sentences were used from Shapiro's book, and this author was rather repetitive, she kept stating the fact that Anderson and co-star Duchovny got along. I think it was a rather light hearted book. It was a good book the first time I read it, but after reading Shapiros book about her, it kind of seemed childish. I did like the fact that she went into detail about trips Anderson took, and that Anderson was a good mother. I also like the chapters about her childhood.
 Interesting and entertaining, gives more then first thought August 9, 1997
Although this book lacks color photos like in the other recent Gillian Anderson book "The Anderson Files: Gillian Anderson Xposed", I like this one better. The biography gives information you are likely to see in the other book or in magazine articles, but that's okay. Included in this book is an episode review of all four seasons, among other extra tidbits. I especially enjoy the episode reviews. The author wrote them in a playful, realistic way, implying their own feelings about the invidual episode, and bringing up points I hadn't realized. I'm glad I paid the expensive price for this book
