Her acting career continued to flourish after "Nanny McPhee." Staunton enjoyed high-profile turns as Dolores Umbridge in "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix" and "Deathly Hallows - Part 1," as well as " Maleficient" and its 2019 sequel, "Paddington" and " Paddington 2" (as Paddington's Aunt Lucy") and the 2019 " Downton Abbey" film. So in answering the question, "Whatever happened to the cast of 'Nanny McPhee'?" the answer is: quite a lot, and much of it great.īritish actress Imelda Staunton had been appearing in British features and on stage and television for almost two decades prior to joining the cast of "Nanny McPhee." She'd teamed with Emma Thompson on multiple occasions, including "Peter's Friends" and "Sense and Sensibility," and earned a Screen Actors Guild nomination for "Shakespeare in Love." Staunton also enjoyed a major career triumph in the title role of Mike Leigh's "Vera Drake," which earned her an Oscar nomination and Golden Globe Award. Nearly all of its primary players remain not only active but exceptionally successful, with Oscar wins and critical triumphs among their many laurels. "Nanny McPhee" remains a cult favorite for its offbeat wit and exceptional cast, many of whom had appeared with Thompson in features and on television and stage prior to its release. A sequel, "Nanny McPhee and the Big Bang" - known as " Nanny McPhee Returns" in the States - followed in 2010 though equally acclaimed by critics, its slightly lower ticket sales upended Thompson's plan for a third film, though she has been involved in writing and directing a stage musical version. The film's crowd-pleasing humor and positive message - that children can solve their own issues with the right encouragement - won over viewers and critics alike, taking in $123 million in global box office sales.
#CAST OF THE NANNY SERIES#
Based on the " Nurse Matilda" books, a series of children's novels by British mystery author Christianna Brand, " Nanny McPhee" starred two-time Oscar winner Dame Emma Thompson as the titular "government" caregiver, an imposing figure whose alarming appearance is offset by her apparent magical abilities.
