Lea Katherine Thompson

Thompson was born May 31, 1961 in Rochester (Minnesota), [ one of five children born to Clifford Barry Thompson, a musician. Thompson is the older sister of Coleen Goodrich (and Shannon Katona) and two younger brothers, Barry and Andrew. Her mother is Irish. Mikhail Baryshnikov (the director of the artistic department at the time) said to her that she was a great dancer but too stocky. She described that incident as "my epiphany" when she decided to end her dancing career and become an ballet dancer. This was an extremely special moment. If it wasn't for that, I'd have been beating my head against the wall for 10+ years. "[ She switched her focus towards acting. At the age of 20, she moved to New York with Sarah Michelle Gellar, Elisabeth Shue and various other Burger King ads. In 1982, CareerThompson played Cecily "Sissy" who played an interactive live-action video game dubbed MysteryDisc: Murder! Anyone? Jaws 3-Dwas her film debut in 1983. I also claimed that I was able to waterski. I didn't. I had to learn water-skiing techniques that were really challenging in five days since I had to take part in the Sea World water skiing show. I don't have the ability to swim!" This was followed by All the Right Moves (1983), Red Dawn (84), and The Wild Life (84).
