Early life

Scott Thomas was born in Nether Compton, Dorset. Her mother, Deborah (née Hurlbatt), was brought up in Hong Kong and Africa, and studied drama before marrying her father,[1] Lieutenant Commander Simon Scott Thomas, a pilot in the Royal Navy who died in a flying accident in 1966.[2][3][4] She is the younger sister of actress Kristin Scott Thomas, the niece of Admiral Sir Richard Thomas (who was Black Rod in the House of Lords),[5] and a great-great-niece of Captain Robert Falcon Scott, the ill-fated explorer who lost the race to the South Pole. Her surname is an amalgam of the surnames of those two families.

Scott Thomas is known for her portrayal of Diana, Princess of Wales, in the television mini-series Diana: Her True Story (1993), and for playing the lead in the TV film Harnessing Peacocks (1993) and Dr. Molly Warmflash in the James Bond film The World Is Not Enough (1999).
