She made her Broadway debut in the 1959 musical ''Juno''. Her additional New York City stage-credits include ''The Effect of Gamma Rays on Man-in-the-Moon Marigolds'', ''Tartuffe'', and ''Twigs''.

After taping her first episode, however, she was replaced by Betty Garrett, when it became obvious that she and producer Norman Lear had different opinions about how the character should be played.〔 Her portrayal of matriarch Kate Lawrence on ''Family'' won her the 1978 Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series and garnered her three nominations for the Golden Globe Award for Best Actress in a Television Series Drama. She was nominated for the Emmy Award nine times, winning once. Thompson's additional television credits included ''Owen Marshall: Counselor at Law'', ''The Love Boat'', ''Father Dowling Mysteries'', ''Andre's Mother'', ''Cheers'', ''Indictment: The McMartin Trial'', ''ER'' and ''Law & Order''.
