" Her latest film, Last Chance Harvey, is getting tons of great buzz \u2014 and Emma Thompson couldn&amp;#039;t be more delighted. &amp;quot;I really just wanted people to see it,&amp;quot; she says. Thompson plays Kate, a woman who has grown comfortable with her disappointing love life, but whose divorced mother is trying hard to help her solve the problem of being single. When she meets Harvey (Dustin Hoffman), Kate discovers she may be more than just her mother&amp;#039;s big project. In real life, Thompson is raising nine-year-old daughter Gaia with husband Greg Wise, in full view of her own mother, who \u2014 wait for it \u2014 lives across the street. Mama Drama My character, Kate, has a mom whose husband has left, and she&amp;#039;s trying to make a mate of her daughter. Lots of women in my generation seem to do that with their teenage daughters \u2014 it can be disastrous: you need your mom to be your mom, not someone to giggle with you about which guy to shag. But I think the real lesson is that it&amp;#039;s about the dad \u2014 when husbands and fathers leave, their wives and daughters tend to value themselves less as a result. That seems true for Kate and her mom.  Co-Star Camaraderie I think Dustin is out of this world in the movie \u2014 Harvey, his character, was a bad father who seems to recognize that. Dustin, though, is a wonderful father \u2014 his children are his life.  How I&amp;#039;ll Deal with Dating What I think I&amp;#039;ll ask Gaia, when she&amp;#039;s at the age for dating, is this: &amp;quot;If you are so keen on this person, does he see you? What does he see?&amp;quot; That is quite a useful question \u2014 you are reminding your daughter of how valuable she is. If you ask them that, they&amp;#039;ll learn that they need to value themselves.  Shocking Housekeeping Moment This morning, I went to wipe my hands on a tea towel, and while I was using it, it seemed like it felt a bit light. I unfolded it and realized my daughter had cut little bits out of it to make frocks for her dolls! Mother/Daughter Revenge My mother has never approved of high heels. As a result, I have never been able to walk in high heels \u2014 and they were all I ever wanted. So of course, my daughter has two pairs. And she only wears them once every six months, to walk down to the local Chinese restaurant. Sometimes, I look out at her house, as we&amp;#039;re walking and think about calling out: &amp;#039;I know her back won&amp;#039;t be ruined. It&amp;#039;s not going to destroy her!&amp;#039; And it&amp;#039;s great because they make nice clicking noises. I would have loved that.
