And our third WTHH subject (https://lebeauleblog.com/2014/07/15/what-the-hell-happened-to-lea-thompson/) celebrating today is Lea Thompson, who is 56 today. She was in a number of major eighties films, including the Back to the Future trilogy and Some Kind of Wonderful, was the star of Caroline in the City in the late 90s, and is currently a regular on Freeform’s Switched at Birth.

Lea Thompson celebrates her 57th birthday today. Thompson, one of three WTHH birthday celebrants in today’s article, studied ballet as a girl and danced professionally until she was about 20, when she decided to go into acting. She made a few Burger King ads, including one with Elisabeth Shue, and made her feature film debut in Jaws 3-D. Later that year, Thompson played Tom Cruise’s girlfriend in All the Right Moves, and the following year she had prominent roles in Red Dawn and Cameron Crowe’s The Wild Life. In 1985, Thompson appeared in the biggest box office hit of her career, playing a 1950s teenager who, through the miracle of time-travel, has an encounter with her own son.

Thompson never became a major film star, although she appeared in a few more starring roles, ranging from the epic bomb known as Howard the Duck to John Hughes’s Some Kind of Wonderful; her WTHH article has plenty of detail about her subsequent film career. She has had some success on television; Caroline in the City, with Thompson as Caroline Duffy, lasted for four seasons, while more recently she was a regular on Freeform’s Switched at Birth. Later this year she will play Marmee March in Clare Niederprum’s modernized adaptation of Little Women.
