    Brilliant advice for us ladies out there: “Follow your dreams, not your boyfriends.”

      She said and followed her boyfriend Peter Morgan literally everywhere, leaving an event specially for her to attend as a plus 1 for one of his appearances. As a long time (and now former) fan, that was really disappointing to see.

      @@celiabarker Yes, and she talks of holding onto the accent deliberately long into her teenage years and feeling like she’d always return one day. So her young self would probably be happy knowing that she actually did so.

      Almost impossible to forget an accent you spoke in as a young child and at a local school. She had a foot either side of the Atlantic in her most formative years.

      I don't get it I thought I did but when you realise that she Left a 2 it makes no sence..
      I think just does it bc she likes the London accents

      There's no such thing as a British accent. Gillian Anderson was raised in Muswell Hill, an affluent area of North London close to Hampstead Heath. It's a well educated English accent which is very much part of the North London elite.

    When she reads the letter, the British accent fades in and out, though this probably was intentional…

    Serving at a women refuge.
    Being obsessed with herself won’t lead to follow bf’s dreams. Then closing with that phrase.
    Everyone have dreams, but I get a hunch this is meant to inspire girls to be lonely wolves. Ultimately missing out in the joy of life, a good partner and kids.
