I don't think it's yet been mentioned that Emma got an Oscar for writing the screenplay of Sense and Sensibility, so can write as well as act.

I do think she gave quite sensible advice to girls at the comprehensive school where she had been educated before going to university at Cambridge.

PS Acting runs in the family. I've enjoyed performances by her mother (Rachel Kempson) and sister Sophie (Four Weddings and a Funeral).
