In addition to interesting plots, the viewers were intrigued for nine years by the chemistry that was obvious between the charming Mulder and the beautiful Scully.
Today, 28 years later, the years have definitely left their mark on the main heroine of the famous series.
Gillian was born in Chicago, her mother was a computer analyst, and her father had a small company for film and television post-production.
