Leo Barraclough International Features EditorGillian Anderson, speaking at a masterclass at the Canneseries TV festival on France’s Côte d’Azur Saturday, teased that she is developing “something else” based on the life of a historical figure, following her roles as Margaret Thatcher in “The Crown” and Eleanor Roosevelt in upcoming series “The First Lady.” No further details were forthcoming from the actor, who recently signed a producing deal with Netflix.Speaking about receiving recognition for her career achievements, such as the Variety Icon Award she accepted Friday in Cannes, she said it felt “kind of surreal actually,” adding, “it kind of feels like it is happening to somebody else.”Asked by French journalist Nora Bouazzouni, who was the onstage interviewer, whether she had realized that her role as Dana Scully in “The X-Files” would change the face of female leads on television when she first read the script, Anderson responded: “Oh God, no.” She saw it just as a job, and “figured it might be a year’s worth of work.” Anderson concurred with Bouazzouni’s assertion that Scully was a “badass” – “confident” and “no push over” – and that had set the tone for her whole career. “I think that the badass-ness pre-existed in me […] and she brought that out in me.

The couple were dressed to impress, with Penny in brown cords, tan leather boots, and a tweed jacket. She also wore a silk scarf and dark shades on top of her head. Rod accompanied her, wearing a tan coat, silk waistcoat and cream-coloured trousers. The pair were also celebrating Penny’s 51st birthday on the day. Shortly prior to this, Penny came out with some good news last Thursday in regards to her career. The star explained that she made her first ever arrest as a special constable with the City of London Police. She revealed that she had pulled over a drug suspect. The TV star started working as an officer following the completion of her training last year. She explained to BBC’s CrimeWatch live programme that she was on patrol with two other officers when they pulled over a suspect. After completing a roadside breath test, the driver tested positive for cannabis use, following which Penny made the arrest. The star admitted that she had some anxiety, which led to her nearly forgetting to read the man his rights. She explained that it didn’t take long for her training to kick in, however. Having taken the suspect into custody, the panellist said she was proud of her achievement. She said: “My first arrest was a drug drive.“There were a couple of suspects whose vehicle was pulled over and a test was taken on the side of the road. “They came back positive for cannabis so driving under the influence. “I was given the wink and the nod by the officers that were with me."
