Description

This well-packaged and exhaustive volume is the first reliable source of biographical information on the woman who was special agent Dana Scully. Tracing Anderson's life from her globetrotting childhood and her tempestuous teenage punk years, it describes how Anderson landed her groundbreaking role and her adjustment to the ferocious schedule involved in shooting her hit TV series The X-Files. The book features a critical episode guide (complete through the fourth season), with writer/director cross-references and a focus on the development of Scully as a character; a synopsis and filmography of Anderson's professional career (including theatrical roles); an exclusive 16-page centrespread folio of full-color Anderson pics; new interviews with Anderson and X-Files creator Chris Carter; and comics, spoofs, and a guided tour through the many Anderson/X-Files netsources and websites.
