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. Thompson is the older sister of Coleen Goodrich, Shannon Katona and Barry Katona. Her mother hails from Ireland. Mikhail Baryshnikov who was the artistic director at the time, said to her "You're a lovely dancer however, you're a bit bulky." According to her, it was "my moment of realization when I made the decision to quit dancing and not to be a ballet dancer. This was a very special event. If it wasn't for that, I'd been beating my head against the wall for 10plus years. "[She made the switch to acting. She relocated to New York at the age of 20 and performed in a variety of Burger King commercials in the 1980s with Sarah Michelle Gellar. Her co-star in Back to the Future Part II was Elisabeth Shue. Jaws 3-D was her film debut in 1983. I claimed I knew how water ski. But I didn't. I had to master water-skiing techniques that were very difficult in five days because I had to take part in the Sea World water skiing show. I don’t even know how swimming works!" This was followed by All the Right Moves (1983), Red Dawn (84), and The Wild Life (84).
