Gillian Anderson - The House Of Mirth (2000).

The house of mirth is a super misleading title because it’s actually a really depressing story about a woman who becomes destitute and dies because no one can handle how sexy she is

The House of Mirth / Gillian Anderson as Lily Bart

Lily wears this grey walking suit for an afternoon excursion by train. The focal point is the large, dark hat with veil and ostrich feathers. Its color is echoed by the dark lapels of the jacket, which in turn contrasts with the white lace jabot in front.

I have to say that Lily Bart and Blanche DuBois share a considerable vibe in Gillian Anderson's inner landscape (I have watched "A Streetcar named Desire" last night and I'm massively blown away by it still!) .

Ever since I started becoming familiar with parts-work, I have been ever more interested in the roles that actors pick and see them differently but with more interest and enjoyment often. There is a whole essay to say about that but I really just wanted to say that they have a very similar vibe as characters. I think I prefer Blanche DuBois a bit though for her unsuspecting way, my heart did very doting and bursting and caring things when I watched everything starting from Blanche's birthday, that still has me in shambles! Gillian did an extraordinary job, I don't think this is comparable to anything I've seen before. It's achingly beautiful, is all I can say. 💖
