Lea Katherine Thompson


Thompson was born in Rochester, Minnesota on May 31st, 1961. She is one of five kids of Clifford Thompson and Barbara Barry Thompson and Barbara Barry Thompson. [ She has two sisters, Coleen Goodrich and Shannon Katona as well as two brothers, Andrew and Barry. Her mother is Irish. Mikhail Baryshnikov (the director of the artistic department at the time) advised her that she was a great dancer, but that she was too big. She described that incident as "my epiphany" that led her to quit dancing and become a ballet dancer. It was an amazing moment. I could have smashed my head on the wall for another 10 years. "The actress turned her concentration on acting.Moving to New York at age 20 and appearing in a variety of Burger King advertisements in the 1980s with Sarah Michelle Gellar and Elisabeth Shue who would later be her co-star in Back to the Future Part II and Back to the Future Part III.CareerThompson was a home-media screen star who made her debut in 1982 in the role of Cecily "Sissy" Loper in the live-action game MysteryDisc Murder, Anyone? Jaws 3-D, her movie debut in 1983. I also claimed that I could waterski. And I did not. I had to master water-skiing techniques that were really difficult in five days as I needed to perform the Sea World water skiing show. I don't know how swimming works!" She followed that with All the Right Moves (1983), Red Dawn (1984) as well as The Wild Life (1984).
