The Crown won a total of 11 Emmys, including Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series (Josh O’Connor) and Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series (Olivia Colman).
Gillian Anderson has confirmed that she did not consult with the late Margaret Thatcher ahead of her performance in The Crown, following a bizarre question posed to her at the 2021 Emmy Awards.
Some wondered if the reporter had Anderson confused for Meryl Streep, who played the role of Thatcher in the 2011 film The Iron Lady.
Anderson won Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series for her portrayal of Thatcher – who died in 2013 – in the fourth season of the hit Netflix show.
