Gillian Anderson thinks ‘The Crown’ has made the royal family more internationally loved, celebrated and understood.
The 54-year-old actress played former Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher in the fourth season of the drama.
Gillian Anderson insisted that the writers have exercised a lot of “kindness and restraint” and the show has had more of a positive impact than negative.
It is worth mentioning that Netflix series drew a lot of criticism as critics alleged that it has caused hurt by digging unnecessarily into the lives of the late Queen Elizabeth and her relatives.
“It’s a drama. There’s a lot of researchers involved and a lot of people checking and double-checking and triple-checking,” she said “There’s a lot that has not been written about that could be written about. And if you knew the difference in those, you’d see there is a great deal of kindness and restraint.”
Gillian admitted she had “so much fear” before she started filming and had to juggle her nerves with preparing properly for the role.
She told Total Film magazine: “[I had] so much fear. It was a year where I knew I was doing theatre, which brings its own fears, and then ‘The Crown’ after – absolutely terrifying in their own ways.
