	Emma Thompson (I) - Biography
		Emma Thompson was born in London on April 15, 1959, into a family of actors - her father was Eric Thompson, who has passed away, and her mother, Phyllida Law, has co-starred with Thompson in several films (her sister, Sophie Thompson, is an actor as well).
		Thompson's wit was earlier cultivated by a cheerful, clever, creative family atmosphere, and she was a popular and successful student.
		Thompson is known for her sophisticated, skillful, though her critics say somewhat mannered, performances, and of course for her arch wit, which she is unafraid to point at herself - she is a fearless self-satirist.

	Fametracker :: The Fame Audit :: Emma Thompson (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Thompson just does her thing, gracefully rolling with whatever publicity she does get, and not "trying" to get "less" by suing every publication that prints things about her that she doesn't care for.
		Not so in Emma Thompson's case: in addition to being a genius actor, with the fancy awards to prove it (and which she won back when they still kind of meant something...but more on that later), she's also an ass-kicking screenwriter...with the fancy awards to prove it.
		We just feel like if Thompson were getting her due props, and really occupied her rightful place at the top of the A list of totally bad-ass actors, it would help raise our expectations of everyone else in the business.

		Back at the kitchen table, the temptation to gossip is compounded by the fact that I feel Thompson is almost a friend (we were contemporaries Camden School for Girls in North London; my mother taught her English).
		It is Thompson's triumph to have reinvented her as hyperbolically grotesque and magical, with help from Oscar-winning Peter King (who designed the trolls in The Lord of the Rings) and from a sparky alpenstock that can produce thunder, lightning, gold sparks and improved behaviour.
		But Thompson travels on the tube without being recognised: 'I dress down to a tragic, possibly-in-need-of-social-services-assistance look.' But next year, she will play 'someone glam' in a romantic comedy she and Nick Hornby have been working on for five years.

	Emma Thompson Biography
		Thompson's performance was arresting: a star quality touched with a dangerous eccentricity, a characteristic that has been masked by the rather more predictable good taste with which she has come to be associated.
		In the same year, she played opposite Kenneth Branagh in the television adaptation of Olivia Manning's The Fortunes of War, a casting which began a screen association both with Branagh and with classic adaptation.
		Her problem will be to resist the narrowing of her range to the English virtues of quality and good taste that Hollywood rewards, going beyond mere versatility to rediscover some of the earlier danger.
