英语文摘:Emma Thompson receives star on Walk of Fame

Thompson's former boyfriend who dated her when both attended the University of Cambridge, Actor Hugh Laurie, praised her for her enormous talent.

"She was the most obnoxiously talented person -- and still is -- that I've ever come across," said Laurie, who played the protagonist of the Fox Broadcasting medical drama "House." He has received two Golden Globe awards and several Emmy nominations for his portrayal in the series.

Born on April 15, 1959, in London, Thompson made her television debut while still in college on the British Broadcasting Corp.'s "Friday Night, Saturday Morning."

British actress Emma Thompson is honored for her motion picture career with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, in Hollywood, California August 6, 2010.

She appeared frequently on both TV and the stage in England in the 1980s and played her first film role in the 1989 romantic comedy "The Tall Guy."

In 1995, Thompson scripted and starred in "Sense and Sensibility," a film adaptation of the Jane Austen novel, which earned her an Academy Award for Best Adapted Screenplay and a British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTA) Award for Best Actress in a Leading Role.

Thompson also played as professor Sybill Trelawney in 2004's "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban," a role she reprised three years later in "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix."
