She described that incident as "my epiphany" when she decided to give up dancing and to become an ballet dancer. That was an incredible moment. I could have smashed my head on the wall for ten years. "The actress changed her goal on acting.Moving to New York at age 20 She appeared in a number of Burger King advertisements in the 1980s with Sarah Michelle Gellar and Elisabeth Shue and later, she was a co-star in Back to the Future Part II and Back to the Future Part III.CareerThompson began her home-media screen debut in 1982, playing Cecily "Sissy" Loper in the live-action, interactive video game MysteryDisc Murder, Anyone? and her first movie in 1983 with Jaws 3D. The film was described by her as "the first movie I've ever seen, but I lied and said I had done some other movies and when I turned up, I had the basics of. I claimed I knew how water ski. I wasn't. That's why I had five days to study complex water-skiing skills, since I had to make it into the Sea World water-skiing show. I don't know how to do I swim!" She followed this up with All the Right Moves (1983), Red Dawn (1984), and The Wild Life (1984).
