THE POP EXPOSE Takes a Look at Acting Legend Lea Thompson!

Hello everybody. Today I take a look at one of my favorite actresses growing up. Lea Thompson was born in 1961 in Rochester, Minnesota. Lea started out as a ballet dancer where she was professionally dancing at age 14. At age 20 she moved to New York and pursued a career in acting. Lea got he first break on the big screen with a roll in Jaws 3-D. She lied to get the job saying she had been in a couple movies pryer and that she could water ski, but it worked she got the part and the rest is history.

She also was in “All the Right moves” alongside Tom Cruise and played Erica Mason alongside the late great Patrick Swayze in “Red Dawn”. Thompson skyrocketed in to the spotlight after landing the roll of Lorraine McFly in “Back to the Future”. She would go on and take rolls in “Howard the Duck”, SpaceCamp, and “Dennis the Menace”. Thompson had done a ton of work throughout the nineties and two thousands including voice over in Robot Chicken, Family Guy, and American Dad. T

Thompson most recently directed episodes of Star Trek: Picard. In a recent interview Thompson said she was interested in being a part to a new Howard The Duck movie or series. At 62 Lea Thompson is still as beautiful as ever and very active in the entertainment industry. I’m excited to see what she does next and I would love to see a modern Howard the Duck series.
