This pictures the very beginning of Gillian's amazing career. She appeared in The Philantropist at the Long Wharf Theater and was rewarded afterwards with a 1990-91 Theatre World Award for her role in the acclaimed play produced by Alan Ayckbourne, Absent Friends.

This is maybe her first role in celluloide.
Picture from the movie A Matter of Choice.
A very low budget film in Black & White.

Here we can see Gillian in The Turning which is, indeed, her first appearence in a hollywood-like film. She portraited April Cavanaugh, and was directed by L.A. Puopolo in 1991. Although it wasn't even a secondary role, those brief scenes allowed her to show her potencial and delighted thousands of fans.

In 1992, with her theatre background, her recently acquired award and a beautiful and soft voice she made the adaptation to audio book of Anne Rice's best seller Exit to Eden.

Beginning 1993, she guest starred in the episode number 8 of the short lived series Class of '96.
March 9, 1993.

1993 was, by far, Gillian's luckiest year. Passing herself of as a 27 years old, she audittioned for the role of Dana Scully. Despite Fox executive's disagreement, she landed the part in the cult-hit show, The X-Files. Instead of the blonde bimbo model the Network was looking for, Chris Carter visioned a different Scully: a brillant and stunning but serious woman; qualities both he found in Gillian.
