Best of Gillian Anderson as Margaret Thatcher | The Crown
/ netflixuk
In the 1980s, Elizabeth clashes with Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher while Prince Charles enters a tumultuous marriage with Lady Diana Spencer.
"My father taught me a great deal too."
"Oh what did you do together?"
"We worked.."
GOTTEM
Maggie was the first PM who come from a working class background, even among Labour PMs she is still the most working class PM, a grocers daughter
Thats how you do it!
..."we worked.." , oh ouch!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
that was super
The Queen: oh that’s nice, I often wish my father and I could have ruled the country together for a short time.
Would have reminded Thatcher about rank, also maybe made her think about the things she experienced that that Queen never got to.
But balmoral is about thatcher’s class based insecurity, maybe that’s why she seized the brutal chance to simply answer “we worked!”
"And dressed for dinner already. How very thoughtful of you."
I've yet to meet a people who can give a back-handed compliment the way the English can.
@S C That is so true. My elderly friend in Memphis can teach me a thing or too about shade, and I learned from an expert. My late mother, a Scottish aristocrat.
The British speak fluent RUDE, and so quickly, too, that one has been verbally undressed before one even has time to remove one’s hat!
I would have said: “Why thank you ma’am, I am sure you have done wonders for the country and Commonwealth being stuck up here in your Scottish hidey hole.”
In real life, the Queen would never have been so rude.
Not something to be proud of.
I just cried when she receives the order of merit. Such a powerful scene.
She was speechless, I liked that.
She was the Devil, rest in hell
I cried when she died. It took way too long
@@hijo1998😂 right!?

I don't get why everyone loves her performance. Take a look at any videos of the real Margaret Thatcher- Anderson's performance is nothing like her. It seems like a caricature.
@@clementinea7523 I wholeheartedly agree! There is a total lack of honesty about Anderson's portrayal. For instance, the real Thatcher had a stake put through her heart, and garlic around her neck to ensure she never came back.
Do you sell 'She deserves a Golden Globe tickets" as well?
The way she said “There is no dignity in the wilderness” wow! Gillian really nailed this character.
Oh that’s lovely.....how are you doing today hope you’re having a wonderful day today....I hope so my friend.......
She’s a great actress. But she didn’t ‘nail’ Thatcher. She wasn’t the caricature she’s portrayed as. She was a powerful competent female leader with personal integrity and a patriot and the Left really hates that. She wasn’t a monster. We could do with a leader like her now
Thatcher is a polite personification of "Im sorry im not gonna take your bullshit"
This has to be Gillian Andersons crowning achievement in acting. Give her every award thats available.
No. I love her in Sex Education but Thatcher she didn't quite capture. Meryl Streep did that better in the 2011 movie. Anderson portrayed Thatcher as some sort of 80 year old lady, totally overacted and all in all "caricaturized" the character. The real Margaret Thatcher looked and spoke nothing like Anderson did.
I mean she'll always be Dana Scully but ye you are correct.
@@91clarie I have watched ThamesTV interviews with Thatcher and Anderson has the voice perfect. The weird head movements and strange diction Thatcher used is also all there. The way she walks and holds her bag is perfect. But most importantly the 'my way or the highway' tunnel vision Thatcher has is very there.
@@leokimvideo All in all I think her portrayal was almost comedic though. Meryl Streep did a better job, sorry to say
@@91clarie I absolutely love the overacting in this role. It works for me and is very enjoyable to watch imo, even if it's not very realistic.
Just give her the Emmy, Bafta, Golden Globe and SAG already.
Oscar... don't forgot 😇😉
@@petersicheri9670 The Oscars are for movie actors
You don't even know Thatcher

@@annisaramadhannia5557 that's how low pitch and off it is.
Her performance is out of this word. She proved that she is a true artist devoted to her art. Bravo Gillian.
Aptly put
Thatcher loved being the only woman in a male dominated position.
Could say she’s a dominix...one could say. :)
She had a SUCH a bad case of “I’m not like these other girls”
Must of felt pretty empowering, I’d imagine
Idc what everyone says but I'm absolutely mesmerised by how she manages to be assertive yet gracefully feminine at the same time.
Does not justificate all the barbaries that her government carried to the UK begging with the Welsh workers and miners finishing with the war in Northern Ireland.
Thatcher sounds like she’s been on a strict diet of cigarettes and gravel for 50 years.
@@theotherone8036 Yes we use gravel, the person might be young
@@bentancur-wd4vc or the Person is not a native speaker?
@@lucakli8098 yeah that can be a possibility too
She ate blue-blooded privileged windbags for breakfast.
That was only gillians acting, actual thatcher didnt really sound like that
Watching these two actors together is an acting masterclass. Everyone though Season 4 would be all about Charles and Diana - but Gillian and Olivia soon put paid to that.
“You have power by doing nothing, I will have nothing” from 7:30 really hit me hard, I have yet to see this season but when the Queen asked her what she did with her father, knowing about Thatcher’s upbringing, I already knew she would reply working.
When The Queen honoured her with the medal (I'm not so sure what it was) I cried! It was such an intense, emotional and yet tender scene... I could feel Thatcher grievance while seeing her top goal to achieve.
yes and that was such a difference between the two women, was it not.... A great scene!!
in real political history they were a necessary yin and yang. Thatcher left to her own devices without the Queen would have been....Trump - the fact that she was such a dominant and sometimes overly exuberant personality, but in the British system, no one (pun intended) trumps QEII in an argument. It worked out well for both of them, and restored balance to both of them. Maggie waited a year to long to go - she would have left with more dignity had she done that.
@@Ale-ut9ek The Order of Merit is the highest award that can be given in the UK. It's a really big thing.
Gillian’s performance is unquestionably the best in the entire series and one of the best I have ever seen.
Speaking as a Brit, this is as painful as watching Hugh Grant playing George W Bush.
My love for her in X Files should have cemented my adoration towards her in everything else she plays as. Dana Scully is QUEEN
Gillian Carried that show. Duchovny is not a great actor.
Yes he is. Both made the success of the show
@@hothemeep1219 He really isn't. Notice how he never has won an emmy. Even for his own show where he was the lead and the part was tailored to him. Have you seen him in anything outside of xfiles. It's cringy.
Hani Hassan - A fellow X-Files fan? You have great taste. 8)
@@dianeyoung8130 It's not the trophies or the hundred of films that make the man. You can participate in 100 movies and be a shitty actor.
Duchovny in X-Files is a great actor and essential in it.
Funny reading about comments on Anderson’s voice and appearance as Thatcher. She’s an actor, not a mimic. She brought Thatcher’s gravitas to the screen. That’s quite an achievement for any performer.
Ye... cos its not important at all to sound like the person you are trying to portray :/ Really???
@@luciansanchez8100 Nope. Not really. Not as important as you might think. The thing about historical portrayals after the advent of nightly news, the internet and social media is that there’s an expectation that the actor must look and sound exactly like the true figure they are playing.
John Lithgow won an Emmy award and Gary Oldman won an Oscar for their respective portrayals of Winston Churchill. Their performances were miles apart from each other-does that mean that one was worse than the other? Or does it mean that actors are given license to act?
Ok so if voice portrayal is not important why does Gillian herself say that it is??
@@luciansanchez8100 I don’t know what to tell you. I’m not a Brit, but I did grow up during Thatcher’s term, and to me Anderson’s performance encapsulated that time, just as Olivia Coleman and Tobias Menzies have done the same for their roles. Anderson’s voice is, at last, her own voice, not Thatcher’s. We might as well criticize Vanessa Kirby for being taller than Princess Margaret.
She was not convincing as Thatcher. Meryl Streep was much better.
bloody hell, her performance, the way she lengthens certain words, its just so well done. spot on infact, I hope she won a few awards for this because she has more than earned them
The crown totally missed the whole Reagan-Thatcher relationship, that was such an integral partnership in 80s politics. Funny how they touched on Kennedy and LBJ, but not this. Hmm
I have the small suspicion that the creators of the Crown are not to fond of the right, hence they didn't want to give some of the spotlight to one of the most influential Republican presidents but did gave 2 or 3 episodes to one of the biggest stars of the left.
It's about britain and its early history
@@karlvnshwp6407 The Crown focuses on the Royal Family, and it’s relationship with world events and leaders. That’s why we don’t see anything between Maggie and Reagan, but we do between Princess Margaret and LBJ. Also, I think this series treats political leaders with kid gloves, they could have been MUCH harsher on Thatcher, or Wilson, or even Churchill.
@@karlvnshwp6407 I gathered that too, replying to your first comment.
@@dansfilms7901 yes but they also touched extensively, especially in the early seasons, on foreign policy, and the US was a huge ally at the time, so they missed it and did a disservice to the viewers in my opinion.
Gillian Anderson is so talented. She's so underrated.
Gillian Anderson, you talented, incredible being. You connected us, the fans/the viewers with the essence of Margaret Thatcher throughout season 4 and such an amazing job you did at that!!! Bravo Netflix 👏🏽
Gillian Anderson needs more roles she’s fantastic
Gillian Anderson has single-handedly been the star and best actor this year for all movies in all categories and within The Crown, her and John Lithgow(both acting as PMs) are the best performers.
I loved John Lithgows Churchill much sunnier than Oldmans.
Totally agree! She and John are the best actors in the Crown. And I find John’s performance as Churchill better that Gary Oldman’s.
The Prime Ministers are the most interesting characters in this series.
Kinda wish the show was about them instead.
I’m very excited to see how they portray Blair and his youth in contrast to the Queen next season.
It's called the CROWN not the Parliament
@@jamesnotfound yes omg.
I think the show kinda is about them... Just it wouldn't we as catchy without "the crown" title
@@jamesnotfound I would like to see how they protrayed Blair and how he participate in the Iranian Conflict without any mass destruction weapons.
I hope to see that on this series.
The Queen is almost like a guidance counselor and even a bit of a moral conscience to the government leaders, at least as she’s portrayed on this show. I can see the wisdom in that kind of role.
Wonder what she made of
Alexander Boris Bunter?
It's effective propaganda isn't it. In reality she was invested in ensuring that her family was outside of the laws affecting everyone else.... Scumbags
Yeah a guidance counselor who inherited their role, lives in a palace, and has the common people pay for her lifestyle.
yes yes, we should do away with those messy parliaments and whatnot, filled with showmen who simply speak to the common people's animalistic urges and fears. wise and visionary leaders, or führers as we call them, will know what is best for us.
But Thatcher needed none of that from her.
I just loved how Thatcher dishes it to the Queen. Wonderful performance by Gillian.
"You are trying to move too fast"
"... that is because I'm in a hurry."
She gave me the chill... outstanding performance. Spot on. The best potrayal of Margaret Thatcher that I've ever seen.
💯
Colman in 2011: MT's daughter
Colman in 2021: MT's queen
You left out her excellent speech of that great poem. “If you have none, small is the work that you have done”.
Hands down a fantastic performance!! The look on her face when given the merit was beautiful, the bow and look of both women spoke volume!!
Gillian really exceeded all the expectations. She deserves all the awards.
ridiculous comment...she was completely off in her portrayal of the Prime Minister
She gave this role a new twist. she made it her own. Meryl Streep made her own legacy with this role but Anderson is off to a great start! :)
Can't compare this actor's very stiff portrayal with brilliant Meryl Streep. Streep WAS Thatcher.
Brilliant, emotional, and very empathetic. Perhaps Gillian's greatest performance.
She deserves to have a series of her own with 11 seasons
She did. Maybe you've heard of The X Files? She has said she never wants to be tied down to one series like that again.
11 and a half wonderful seasons
I really liked the Iron Lady, but this performance was magnificent in every way!
I thought Iron Lady was too kind to her though. You can be a terrible leader with awful opinions and still be empathetic as shown here. Iron Lady made her out to be kinder and the haters unfair in their judgment.
She was a good leader and did what was needed. She was not terrible and critics were generally unfair.
@@GA-wq8xq she funded illegal death squads in northern ireland
That's pretty bad
Don’t believe everything you read. That’s unsubstantiated by all records.
@@jared3970 it's in files that have been released under the freedom of information act. Hardly unsubstantiated
she did a brilliant job of the accent and tone of voice
Closed my eyes and there she was, BBC religiously every Wednesday questions to the PM. The wit, the clear and subtle mastery of the language, the PM was one of my favorite guilty pleasures while at the Sorbonne. ty Gillian hats off!
She's literally my favorite character in the series.. Not for what she does but for her personality..
I thought Gillian Anderson was truly outstanding in her performance as Mrs. Thatcher! She clearly deserves an Emmy.
She clearly stole the show. I'll have to rewatch that season because her performance was so good.
Love or hate Thatcher she was truly iconic!
She was outstanding.
Gillian Anderson is amazing one of her finest ever performances!! Just amazing
Gillian's work was admirable. So great! She amazed me every time Thatcher would come out in every episode.
Gillian Anderson’s performance is incredible.
Did you even watch it? Watch a clip of Thatcher and then watch Anderson. It's absolutely nothing like her. It's embarrassingly awful.
@@dragan221 The point of her performance as an actress is not for her to simply be a mimic or do an impression. It is to create a stylized Thatcher that is true to the woman's essence while being compelling and interesting to watch.
@@nikk.1729 Exactly...
Not gonna lie. I despise MT, but that final scene made me teary eyed. Gillian Anderson was so brilliant. And she had Meryl Streep level shoes to fill, and she did it beautifully.
wow what a great actress, should be nominated for an oscar
Half way through the season, I‘m finding her performance really good. When she dials it up I find her terrifying and thrilling all at once
She won all major awards Emmy Golden Globe and Screen actor for this role!
Gillian Anderson deserve an Emmy but I will give her an Oscar, her performance is perfect and amazing.
Oh that’s lovely.....how are you doing today hope you’re having a wonderful day today....I hope so my friend.......
What an actress ! Anderson stole Colman's sparkle in the last scene, she has the power even with the bowing.
This is one of the most impressive powerful piece of acting skills I have ever seen. Hope that she gets recognized for this
The sound and style Gillian Anderson portrayed Margaret Thatcher was genius. It made you listen to what she said and separated her from the common chatter.
The perfect showreel for this absolute mesmerizing performance by Gillian Anderson! Take note Emmy and Golden Globe voters!!!!
Margaret Thatcher was one of the greatest person ever step foot on the Britain Number 10 Office
Phenomenal performance I was left in shock. Just brilliant! Gillian is just amazing.
I loved that I did not see a moment of Scully in her performance.
Anderson's rendition of Thatcher's voice and mode of speech is incredibly good. For a moment, in one scene, before the camera focused on her, I heard her voice and was amazed how closely she sounded like the real Thatcher!
As dislikable as Margaret Thatcher was, I just love her marriage chemistry with her husband. They got along so well in some of these scenes
they we’re the best couple in the crown imo
She was very likable in the show. Probably more than the queen for me, or are you talking about the real Margaret thatcher?
She was elected three times and was the longest serving PM in the 20th century for a reason. Movies can try to distort her legacy but they can't revise the truth.
@@ps3837 kinda both honestly.
yeah even if u hate/dislike Thatcher u can’t deny that the relationship she and her husband had was cute af 🥺
I absolutely adored Gillian Anderson in X Files, and now she’s portraying one of the strongest women in history, and did it stunningly. The voice and the faces and the walk. Give her an award.
Brilliant, the voice, the walk, she even had me feeling sorry for Thatcher
She deserves every award going!
I think it was hilarious (probably at times in real life too) watching two highly intelligent female leaders having to deal with each other. It was good for both of them.
That scene where she is trying to control her sobs until she enters her bedroom showed what an amazing artist Anderson is.
I've already seen Gillian Anderson's acting before in roles like Bedelia du Marier in Hannibal and Detective Chief Superintendent Stella Gibson in The Fall, but her acting in The Crown is really a major spot in her career. I confess I found her stilted in the very first scenes, but later, as I was watching the season, I realized how much she got into it. She really nailed it! I hope she'll win as many awards as possible!
Queen (asking Margaret about her father) : "so what did you do together?"
Margaret " We worked"
Priceless.
Emmys 2021, outstanding actress in a supporting role in a Drama series.
Best of Gillian Anderson as Margaret Thatcher - Literally every scene with Gillian Anderson
She was a clear winner for that Emmy!
Actors, bathe in the brilliant homage paid to Margaret Thatcher by the incomparable Gillian Anderson. Her attention to the physicality of the role and her performance that embodied her character exemplify the technique of the modern theatre.
The lady can ACT!!! SO GOOD
What a season this was. Thatcher and young Diana, the acting was phenomenal.
"We worked." God that made me laugh way too much.
And boy she did!! And she learned everything from her father
I would have loved to see the "The lady's not for turning
" moment, it is, to this day, iconic!
She deserved the Emmy!! So glad she won!
She was just bloody brilliant and she flipping nailed it there. Hear hear Lady Gillian.
They need to give her a damn Spin Off series.
Not everybody is gonna love MT but she was definitely a passionate leader. Decisive and brave, no wonder she is dubbed the iron lady. After all a leader's job is not to be loved but to decide.
She "decided" to genocide the poors, yes
Not everybody is gonna love Adolf Hitler but he was definitely a passionate leader. Decisive and brave, no wonder he is dubbed the fuhrer. After all a leader's job is not to be loved but to decide.
When people say shit like you did its a liberal veil that hides the fact they dont dislike thatcher
The country is still trying to recover from the damage this dysfunctional monster did.
her courtesy is amazing
I think you mean curtsy.
I love how Thatcher called people weak when she was a psychopath
@@vvids8945 are you a medical doctor? She was not a psychopath, she did what was needed and was re-elected twice because of it.
What a brilliant depiction of Thatcher.
The scenes at Balmoral are brilliant
I love it when she and DT go to the Folk Festival in Scotland. And I felt very much identified with her. I am a lawyer, I worked as a legal advicer in the public sector for 5 years here in my country, Chile.
I had a lot of legal work, but sometimes I was asked to go to useless ceremonies and meetings, including going out of town and once out of the country. Most of those meetings where boring, a total waste of time and tax payers money. I had to smile, and look interested, but in my inside I was desperate for this events to be over so I could go back to my office or home taking care of my family. Sometimes, I had so much protocol activities that I ended up working at night.
I think this portrayal is one of most powerful testaments to the way memory works - as the hugest possible fan of Gillian Anderson's performance here, I can still accept that she what she gives is not a carbon copy of how Margaret Thatcher appeared and spoke throughout most of her career. However, the amazing thing with this performance is that she evokes chillingly the essence of Thatcherism and the image it left on people that it seems to strikes a nerve with people so deeply. When she says "We worked," it is so moving not because it's an impression of Thatcher's media clips, but because she masterfully conveys the ethos and spirit of Thatcher's entire worldview.
Prime Minister Thatcher did not exclude women from her cabinet. The Baroness Young served in her cabinet for four years, from June of 1983 through June of 1987.
Her very first Cabinet from 1979-1981 included only men at the higher "Secretary" level and only a few women at the "ministerial" level.
"...You are moving too fast;"...."... That's because I am in a hurry!" 😂😂
“And the winner for the role of best Supporting Actor is....”
Actress
Gillian crushed it! Completely blew my mind.
This is an acting masterpiece.
Gillian Anderson is just brilliant in this role!
I literally only want to watch the Crown for this and only this performance. Am I wrong? It's unbelievable!
Gillian was an absolute revelation as Margaret Thatcher. I wanted her to be in every scene.
Gillian “Agent Scully” Anderson was amazing in this role!
Wow I'm very impressed I thought after Meryl Streep I would be almost impossible to do better but she really played Margaret Thatcher perfectly.... 💙
They tried to humiliate MT with the infantile drinking game but she turned the tables and gave the correct answer with withering contempt. Full marks to Philip for his reaction. He knew exactly what she was doing and his smile spoke volumes.
Gillian Anderson's, Thatcher was exceptional. I had not known it was her. Fantastic.
I love Gillian do much! This performance was beautifully done.
Gillian Anderson did a superb job. Excellent
The portrayal of Carol Thatcher is nothing like I remember her. She was a successful journalist often appearing on TV, not afraid to express her own views.
She completely overshadowed her brother Mark who at best was considered a bit of a chancer.
"That is because I am in a hurry."
"I don't have the time to be nice."
GOLDEN!
She did a great job but to me she played ANCIENT Thatcher and not the Thatcher from her time in office. Didn't she seem to be playing her VERY old?
I agree. I watched vids of Thatcher in office. The Iron Lady was more robust with energetic eyes.
Yeah, I’m a bit disappointed she didn’t evolve her performance over the course of the season. She should have started out with a much more energetic pace of speaking. Instead she sounded very old at the beginning, given her no room to show range.
Yes!
It's par for the course whenever the Left portrays Conservatives in general as both stupid and evil. Many ill-informed people still think that whatever Tina Fey spewed on SNL is really what SP said. Also, if it's a liberal woman, she will be portrayed as a hot babe--see Felicity Jones as Ruth Bader Ginsburg
@@kerprice Stupid? Gillian's portrayal presents Thatcher as a very intelligent, shrewd and complex character who holds her own with her party and the Queen up until the very end of her tenure. As for your other point, to be fair to the "Left", it isn't all that hard to portray most Conservatives politicians as evil...you just play them as-is ;)
I never rated Gillian Anderson in the X-files, though she has matured as an actress. She really nailed Thatcher's pronunciation and cadence.
She SLAYED this role!
She got it better than Meryl, and Meryl is an exquisite Margaret
Meryl got the voice far better
@@lewis123417 its because Meryl is 70s. The age gets the voice deeper.
@@tinito22 have you never seen the film the iron lady? It's follows thatchers whole career right through to the 90s and then her retirement later on
nope meryl >> hers is exaggerated and drawn out
Gillian played Margaret like if she was a Disney villain, which is cool in itself and she played it well, but it just doesn't suit the realism of the series. She started with speaking like Margaret on her death bed and it went nowhere.
