One of Britain's most acclaimed actresses, she is the recipient of various accolades, including two Academy Awards, two Golden Globe Awards, two British Academy Film Awards, a British Academy Television Award, and a Primetime Emmy Award.
Born in London to English actor Eric Thompson and Scottish actress Phyllida Law, Thompson was educated at Newnham College, University of Cambridge, where she became a member of the Footlights troupe, and appeared in the comedy sketch series Alfresco (1983–84) alongside Hugh Laurie, Stephen Fry and Robbie Coltrane.

In 1992, Thompson won an Academy Award and a British Academy Film Award for Best Actress for her performance in the Merchant-Ivory period drama Howards End.

Emma Elizabeth Thompson (born 2 December 1990) is an Australian cricketer who plays as a right-handed batter and occasional right-arm medium bowler for the Tasmanian Tigers in the Women's National Cricket League (WNCL). Originally from Sydney, Thompson played for several years in the New South Wales U17 ("Under 17") and U19 squads. She then sought further opportunities in Tasmania, where she became a key player for Tasmania.
Thompson was included in the Hobart Hurricanes squad for its inaugural WBBL01 season (2015–16), and was again selected for the WBBL02 season (2016–17). She is not one of the big guns in the WBBL, and sometimes plays essentially as a specialist fielder, a role she accepts without rancour. In November 2018, she was named in the Hobart Hurricanes' squad for the 2018–19 Women's Big Bash League season.
Off the field, Thompson works as a physiotherapist.
