Gillian Anderson said producers of X-Files originally wanted a different Anderson to play Dana Scully..Pam Anderson. What?? Gillian: "They were looking for someone bustier, taller, leggier than me. They couldn't fathom how David and me could equal success. At the beginning, nobody trusted that I could do anything. I had no body of work behind me at all, and, certainly Fox felt very strongly that I wasn't the right person for the job."*
Okay, that bit of gossip made my mouth gape open. If Gillian hadn't said it, I wouldn't have believed it. How could anyone think Pammy could be Scully?? The X-Files didn't even have a laugh track.

Pam Anderson could NOT have been Scully.
...maybe Boobie!
Scully is a Physician.
...not a slutician.
The idea of Pamela Anderson as Scully is a more ghastly image than anything Chris Carter could have envisioned.
The aliens would've mistaken Pam for one of their own.
I heart Crabbie even more today than yesterday....
The offer still stands Crabbie!!
So the x-files could have been chasing UFOs down a beach in slow motion. Every week.
Dear anon who's hitting on crabster..you actually have good taste.
no way! It's not a comedy or a send-up so that would not have worked. And I have NEVER even see X-Files!!!
I am an x-files fan. I have most of the episodes, autographs, film cells, those terrible toys they came out with. . . but this makes me want to vomit.
lol, would have lasted three shows then been canceled. Wonder if she would have given David herpes?
That show would have never made it to where it is today if Pam was Scully.
