Kristin grew up in Dorset, England, as the eldest of five children. Her father, a Royal Navy pilot, was killed in a flying accident when she was very young. Her mother then married another pilot, but Kristin's step-father then died in the same way as her father.

Kristin spent a year at London's Central School of Speech and Drama, and later said "It was disastrous..." Next, she began to train as a teacher, but her life changed for ever when she went on a visit to a friend in Paris for two weeks and found work there as an au pair, with a French couple who encouraged her

… More acting ambitions. Still only nineteen, Kristin got a place at the École Nationale des Arts et Technique de Théâtre, in Paris, where she learnt the acting trade in the French language. A teacher at the school got her her first acting job, and she commented later "It helped that I was something exotic in France - a funny little English girl".

Kristin is married to a French doctor, François Oliviennes. They have a daughter, Hannah, and two sons, Joseph and George, and live in the country in northern France, with an apartment in Paris.

One of her sisters, Serena Scott Thomas, is also an actress.

    I have to admit that Kirsten Scott Thomas is really a wonderful actress. In every role she really makes you believe that she actually is the character she's portraying. This sense of realism is what makes her really stand out above the masses of the rest of actresses today. My favorite movie of her's is "Gosford Park."

    She is a good actress, I must say. Her style is really something outstanding and from what I heard and seen, she is certainly stands above the rest. I think that she has appeared in some cool movies like "Keeping Mum" and "Four Weddings and a Funeral" and her style is certainly very cool. She is a good actress.
