Lea Thompson interviews

Well, the title of this page may be a little bit confusing, because there are no actually whole interviews here.

I've decided to make a collage from diffrent interviews and different Lea Thompson quats, because of:
a) copyright laws,
b) some parts of every interview are more or less about the same,
c) those are the only questions that were worth to show to You (well, most of them).

But I hope You'll find this page interesting afterall and don't get angry if some informations are out of date or You've seen it already some other place.

Lea Thompson Interview (1/4)
Question Why did You played in "Back to the Future"?
Lea Thompson Interview What makes the "Back to the Future" films so wonderful for me as an actress, and I think for audiences as well, is that the filmmakers didn't try to cast someone who just looked like us in the older versions of our characters. It's essential to the story that the audience knows that it's the same actor playing the role, and hopefully they will accept us in our older characterizations. When I read the script to the first film, I thought the story was terrific and very interesting. When they told me I would be playing both young and old Lorraine, I knew it would be a tremendous challenge, so of course I wanted it immediately.
Question Who had the greatest influences on You?
Lea Thompson Interview My mother, also Bonnie Raitt, Debra Winger and Tchaikovsky.

Lea Thompson Interview A ballet dancer with the Minnesota Dance Theatre.

Lea Thompson Interview I love being part of a crew. It's like being on a big team. I find it to be the best part of my job.
Question Lea, you've managed to make the rare transition from being truly the ultimate teenage goddess in movies like "Some Kind of Wonderful" to a real-live adult person with a certain degree of gravity in your characters--and all without disappearing for a decade. How the heck did you do that?
Lea Thompson Interview Sweet again... I don't know. But I seem to be an audience actress and not a press actress. My longevity has never been fueled by hype. I think that is an accomplishment.
