Biography, from Leonard Maltin's Movie Encyclopaedia
Extraordinarily gifted and appealing
actress who catapulted to stardom with her brilliant, Oscar-winning performance
as Margaret Schlegel in the Merchant-Ivory adaptation of
Howards End (1992). Thompson
began acting at Cambridge University with the comedy troupe Footlights, and
after experience on television with fellow troupe members Stephen Fry and Hugh
Laurie, she starred in her first stage musical, "Me and My Girl," opposite
Robert Lindsay. She won a British Academy Award for her work on the BBC series "Tutti
Frutti" and "Fortunes of War" and became friends with her "Fortunes" costar,
Kenneth Branagh, who cast her as Katherine of France in his Oscar-winning
adaptation of Shakespeare's Henry
V (1989). Branagh and Thompson were married after the film's release and
since then, she has starred in many of his films: in the dual role of a
present-day Californian and a forties European woman in
Dead Again (1991), in a
deliciously funny performance as a nerdy, neurotic cat lover in
Peter's Friends (1992), and
most memorably, as Beatrice opposite Branagh's Benedick in the rousing
Much Ado About Nothing (1993).
They starred, as well, in a BBC production of
Look Back in Anger (1993).
Thompson has also appeared in The
Tall Guy (1990) and Impromptu
(1991), and was featured in a memorable episode of television's "Cheers." She
reteamed with her Howards End
costar Anthony Hopkins in the Merchant-Ivory film
The Remains of the Day (1993),
and played a lawyer defending an accused IRA terrorist in
In the Name of the Father
(1993), earning Oscar nominations for both performances. She made an unbilled
cameo as Gerard Depardieu's girlfriend in
My Father the Hero and teamed
with her least likely costar, Arnold Schwarzenegger, in
Junior (both 1994) before
taking the title role in
Carrington (1995). Finally, she was in "Sense & Sensibility" (1995) where
she plays Elinor Dashwood and won an Oscar for Best Adapted Screenplay.
