were married in real life?

Back in the early 90′s, Kenneth Branagh and Emma Thompson were THE couple in British cinema. Even in America they were highly respected. Think a posh, more talented version of Brangelina that did tons of movies together and won a bunch of awards, Branagh for acting and directing and Thompson for acting and writing.
Then Thompson did a movie without Branagh called Howard’s End, which co-starred an up-and-coming British actress named Helena Bonham Carter. Movie won a bunch of awards, including a Best Actress Oscar for Thompson. She introduces Carter to her husband, who casts her in his next project, Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein.
Whoops.
Good news is, the subsequent breakup inspired Thompson to write. She penned the screenplay to Sense & Sensibility, which won the Oscar for Best Adapted Screenplay; to date, she is the only person in history to win for both acting and writing.
