|||||||||||||
| Lea Katherine Thompson is an American actress. She attended Marshall-University High School in Minneapolis. Her first significant movie role was in All the Right Moves (1983) with Tom Cruise. Her most famous role was that of Lorraine Baines/Lorraine McFly in the Back to the Future trilogy. She also starred in the movies SpaceCamp and Howard The Duck, both considered commercial flops. Lea was nominated for a Cable ACE Award for her outstanding work in Nightbreaker, and she has been a winner of the People's Choice Award. Lea also received critical acclaim for her work with Farrah Fawcett in The Substitute Wife. In 2005, Thompson starred in a series of made-for-TV movies for the Hallmark Channel in which she plays "Jane Doe," an ex-secret agent turned housewife who helps the government solve mysteries. She also played a guest role in a 2004 episode of NBC's Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, playing a woman who had her embryos stolen. Thompson was a featured celebrity singer on Celebrity Duets but was the first to be eliminated by votes, and second eliminated overall. She is married to film director Howard Deutch. She first met Howard on the set of Some Kind of Wonderful. They have two daughters, Madeline and Zoey. Thompson had previously been engaged to Dennis Quaid, her Jaws 3-D co-star. | |||||||||||||
