If you're looking at this picture of Lea Thompson and the only thing you can think of is 'Back to the Future,' we don't blame you. The movies are iconic, as is her role in them as Marty McFly's mom Lorraine. The original film in the trilogy wasn't Thompson's first foray into the movie world though; that was 1983's gimmick film 'Jaws 3D'.
Thompson had a way of looking cute, sweet and younger than her years, which rarely saw her out of work during the decade. 'All the Right Moves' and 'The Wizard of Loneliness' were also strong outings for her, but not as strong as 'Nightbreaker' which saw her take on her first formal lead. Thompson wasn't an 80s pickup, but she always played the sort of character that a boy would gladly take home to meet his mother.
