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.

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.

I Love That Kate Winslet, Emma Thompson & Rachel Weisz Are Promoting REAL Beauty Versus Plastic Surgery — What Great Role Models!

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. There’s so much pressure on women these days to look perfect and I think it’s great that they are showing people that they are beautiful at any age!
