Paddington, London, England, UK:
Dame Emma Thompson (nacida el 15 de abril de 1959) es una actriz y guionista británica. Considerada una de las mejores actrices de su generación, ha recibido numerosos elogios a lo largo de su carrera que abarca más de cuatro décadas, incluidos dos Premios de la Academia, tres Premios BAFTA, dos Premios Globo de Oro y un Premio Primetime Emmy. En 2018, la reina Isabel II la nombró Dama (DBE) por sus servicios al teatro. Nacida de los actores Eric Thompson y Phyllida Law, Thompson se educó en Newnham College, Cambridge, donde se convirtió en miembro de la compañía Footlights y apareció en la serie de sketches de comedia Alfresco (1983-1984). En 1985, protagonizó la reposición del musical Me and My Girl en el West End, que supuso un gran avance en su carrera. En 1987, saltó a la fama por sus actuaciones en dos series de televisión de la BBC, Tutti Frutti y Fortunes of War, ganando el premio BAFTA TV a la mejor actriz por su trabajo en ambas series. A principios de la década de 1990, colaboró a menudo con su entonces marido, el actor y director Kenneth Branagh, en películas como Henry V (1989), Dead Again (1991) y Mucho ruido y pocas nueces (1993). Por su actuación en el drama de época de Merchant-Ivory Howards End (1992), Thompson ganó el premio BAFTA y el premio de la Academia a la mejor actriz. En 1993, recibió dos nominaciones al Premio de la Academia: Mejor Actriz y Mejor Actriz de Reparto, por los respectivos papeles de ama de llaves de una gran casa en Lo que queda del día y abogada en En el nombre del Padre, convirtiéndose en una de las pocas actores para lograr esta hazaña. Thompson escribió y protagonizó Sentido y sensibilidad (1995), por la que ganó el Premio de la Academia al Mejor Guión Adaptado (convirtiéndola en la única persona en la historia en ganar premios Oscar tanto por actuación como por escritura) y una vez más ganó el BAFTA. Más elogios de la crítica llegaron por sus papeles en Primary Colors (1998), Love Actually (2003), Saving Mr. Banks (2013), Late Night (2019) y Good Luck to You, Leo Grande (2022). Otros créditos cinematográficos notables incluyen la serie Harry Potter (2004-2011), Nanny McPhee (2005), Más extraño que la ficción (2006), An Education (2009), Men in Black 3 (2012) y el spin-off Men in Black: Internacional (2019), Valiente (2012), La Bella y la Bestia (2017), Cruella (2021) y Matilda el Musical (2022). Sus créditos televisivos incluyen Wit (2001), Angels in America (2003), The Song of Lunch (2010), King Lear (2018) y Years and Years (2019). Autorizado por los editores de Beatrix Potter, Thompson también ha escrito tres libros infantiles de Peter Rabbit.
