Lea Katherine Thompson
Thompson was
born on May 31, 1961, in Rochester, Minnesota,[ one of five children of
Clifford Thompson and Barbara Barry Thompson, a musician. [ She is the sister
of Coleen Goodrich and Shannon Katona, and two brothers, Andrew and Barry. Her
mother hails from Ireland. Mikhail baryshnikov was then the artistic director,
said to herthat "You're a lovely dancer but you're too tall." She
described the moment as "my epiphany" when she made the decision to
stop dancing and turn into an ballet dancer. That was a great moment. I could
have banged my head against the wall for the next ten years. "[She
switched to acting. She relocated to New York at the age of 20 and appeared in
a variety of Burger King commercials in the 1980s along with Sarah Michelle
Gellar. Her co-star in Back to the Future Part II was Elisabeth Shue. Jaws 3D
was her film debut in 1983. I claimed that I knew how to water ski. I wasn't. I
had to learn water-skiing techniques that were difficult in five days as I
needed to perform the Sea World water skiing show. I don’t even know what
swimming is!" She followed this with All the Right Moves (1983), Red Dawn
(1984) as well as The Wild Life (1984).
