21 February 2023 - 35 minsSense and Sensibility, Howards End, Fortunes of War, Nanny McPhee and Good Luck to You Leo Grande are just a handful of Thompson’s notable screen credits – to which there are many. She’s a powerhouse – being the only person to win an Oscar for both acting and screenwriting. In this episode, we talk about women being treated as second class citizens whilst she studied at Cambridge, handling fame – how to stay grounded – and, what she has learnt about love. Plus, Emma talks about her new film What’s Love Got To Do With It? in which she plays Cath, the mother of documentary-maker Zoe (Lily James) who makes a film about her best friend’s ‘assisted’ marriage.
