Scott Thomas made her film debut in the Prince-directed Under the Cherry Moon in 1986, and later gained international fame in the 1990s with roles in Bitter Moon and Four Weddings and a Funeral, before earning a Best Actress Academy Award nomination for The English Patient. Further film roles include the box office hits The Horse Whisperer and Gosford Park, and a critically acclaimed turn in Philippe Claudel's French language film I've Loved You So Long, for which she earned a Golden Globe nomination for Best Actress.
