Emma Thompson (born on April 15, 1959 in Paddington, London, England, United Kingdom) is a British actress, screenwriter, author and general hero to most. She is hilarious, brilliant and gorgeous. Thompson has multiple Oscars and about a billion other nominations and awards, as she should.

She has participated in a variety of feature and short film projects, and largely stars in book and poem adaptations, such as the wildly popular Harry Potter franchise. Thompson frequently collaborates with fellow Brit Alan Rickman, and they have worked together on The Song of Lunch, the Harry Potter series and the film Love Actually, to name a few. Thompson has also dabbled in voice acting for animated feature films including Pixar’s Brave and Disney’s Treasure Planet. As an author, Thompson has inherited Beatrix Potter’s children’s book, The Tale of Peter Rabbit. Thompson has written two new installments, the latest of which was released in Sept. 2014. To the delight of fans, Thompson will star as Mrs. Potts in the upcoming live-action Disney film Beauty and the Beast.

Best Known For:
Emma Thompson is best known for her roles in Love Actually and Sense and Sensibility, for which she also wrote the screenplay.

Thompson first married actor/director Kenneth Branagh, and they separated in 1995. Thompson is currently married to actor Greg Wise and they have two children, son Tindyebwa Agaba and daughter Gaia Romilly. In early 2015, Thompson decided to homeschool her daughter. Thompson is an outspoken person, and has discussed issues such as religion, the environment and human rights. She supports Greenpeace, and is an ambassador for the charity ActionAid. She is also a patron of the Elton John AIDS foundation.

A Walk In The Woods Review

‘A Walk In The Woods’ Review: Robert Redford Rules Scenic Biopic

‘A Walk in the Woods’ is the perfect movie to see during Labor Day weekend. Though the plot is nothing to rave about, it’s easygoing and funny — and the scenery is stunning. It’s exactly what you need between naps and trips to the beach!

Though Robert Redford is up against the majestic Appalachian mountains in A Walk in the Woods, he manages to command the screen. He is an acting legend, after all — and he’s supported by an equally talented cast including Nick Nolte and one of my favorite people on the planet, Emma Thompson. There are also delightful one-off scenes with Kristen Schaal and Nick Offerman. This film is more drama than comedy, but it’s light enough to keep the audience afloat.

Kate, Rachel and Emma joined forces to fight the growing epidemic of women getting unnatural amounts of cosmetic surgery. These beauties say: Love yourself the way you are and don’t rely on surgery!

Kate Winslet, Emma Thompson and Rachel Weisz started the “British Anti-Cosmetic Surgery League,” promising that they wouldn’t have cosmetic surgery to alter their appearances and encouraging others to do the same.
