Actor Born: May 31, 1961 in Rochester, MN Biography:A small, delicate-looking, perky actress, "Thompson" studied dance as a child, and was dancing professionally by age 14; she won scholarships to the Pennsylvania Ballet, American Ballet, and the San Francisco Ballet. However, she felt she was too short to become a prima ballerina and gave up dance in favor of acting. After moving to New York she appeared in some 20 Burger King TV commercials, then debuted onscreen in "Jaws 3-D" (1983). Shortly thereafter she got her first important role, opposite "Tom Cruise" in the hit "All the Right Moves" (1983). She is best known for her multiple roles in the three "Back to the Future" movies; aside from those highly successful movies, she has not gone on to appear in any hit productions. She also appeared in the TV movies "Nightbreaker" (1989), "Montana" (1990), and the PBS playhouse co-production "The Wizard of Loneliness" (1988). ~ All Movie Guide
