Willoughby (John Wise) of Sense and Sensibility married Eleanor (Emma Thompson) in real life. They have two children. I found that uniquely interesting.

Never heard of either one.

What is the premise of this posting statement? I’m not being rude or disrespectful but it seems just kind of random.

Yes, it is interesting. She used to be married to Kennth Branagh.

These aren't very good pictures of her, but you must have seen her in something.

I find it interesting when doing IMDB searches on actors in films to find the connections that they have with other people. In this case it was Emma Thompson marrying another actor from Sense and Sensibility, a movie based on a Jane Austen book. If you don't know the movie or Emma Thompson, then fine. To me, Emma Thompson was one of the finest actresses and finest looking actresses of the time. So, the connection was what I would call a SURPRISE. As I researched further I discovered that they have a daughter who looks amazingly like Emma and an adopted son.

Since this forum is predominantly male, I'm not surprised that Sense and Sensibility was not well known. Some of us, however, have wives who introduced us to it and it is good literature and an interesting period piece from 18th century England.

Emma Thompson depicted Professor Trelawney in the Harry Potter series, portrayed Nanny McPhee (twice), and has done numerous other roles. She is an extremely versatile actress. Check out her movies.
