Lea Katherine Thompson


Thompson was born May 31 of 1961, in Rochester (Minnesota), [ the youngest of five children of Clifford Barry Thompson who was a famous musician. Thompson has two sisters, Coleen Goodrich and Shannon Katona and two brothers Andrew and Barry. Her mother is of Irish descent.She was a ballet student as a young girl, and was dancing professionally by the age of 14 and was awarded scholarships to the San Francisco Ballet, the Pennsylvania Ballet, and the American Ballet Theatre.When she was 20 years older and was dancing professionally with the American Ballet Theatre's Studio Company (then known as ABT II), the time was right to make a decision on whether she wanted to move to the main company. Mikhail Baryshnikov , at the time, was time the artistic director. He told her "You are an amazing dancer however your body is bulky." That was her "epiphany" and she said that was that moment which made me decide to quit dancing and stop being a ballet dancer. It was a wonderful moment. I could have smashed my head on the wall for 10 years. "She changed her goal on acting.Moving to New York at age 20 She appeared in a variety of Burger King advertisements in the 1980s with Sarah Michelle Gellar and Elisabeth Shue and later, she was a co-star in Back to the Future Part II and Back to the Future Part III.CareerThompson made her home-media screen debut in 1982 in the role of Cecily "Sissy" Loper in the live-action, interactive video game MysteryDisc: Murder, Anyone? Jaws 3D, her film debut in 1983. Also, I'd claimed that I knew how to water ski. But I wasn't. I had to learn water-skiing techniques that were difficult to master in just five days, because I needed to perform the Sea World water skiing show. I don't know how to swim!" She followed this up with All the Right Moves (1983), Red Dawn (1984), and The Wild Life (1984).
