At the Emmys she made a spectacular faux pas on prime-time national television (besides being painfully unable to walk in her dress): She chose to thank her family during her acceptance speech, a sweet gesture, but shockingly did not mention any of her collaborators on The X-Files. “I got a very strong vibe the next day that I had made a mistake,” she says. Anderson did her best to remedy the situation by placing an ad in the Hollywood trade publications thanking the show’s creator, Chris Carter, her costar, David Duchovny, and the rest of the cast and crew. “There was this huge weight of having hurt people,” she says. “It’s the story of my life. I create these situations where I can’t fully enjoy the moment.” Allure, Dec 1997
