British actress Emma Thompson poses on the red carpet arriving to attend the UK premiere of the film The Children Act in London.
The two-time Oscar winner was to voice one of the characters in the much-touted animated film"Luck," and had already begun recordings, according to the entertainment news site Variety.But she dropped the project when Skydance announced in early January that it recruited Lasseter, 62, who was forced to leave his position at Disney as animation chief after acknowledging he made staff feel uncomfortable with unwanted hugs.
The 59-year-old performer then forwarded her letter to the Los Angeles Times, which published it in full.
