I love her laugh. she's so sweet, down to earth, and funny. Lea Thompson is a legend for 80s kids. Absolutely gorgeous.

[@djAnakin]

:D Brad Pitt is literally 2 years younger than her (in 2021 she's 59 and he's 57)

[@isaiasovelar4434]

60 and 58 actually

[@francescopojoga6793]

@D ii Y A pretty sure she’s 4 and he’s like 122....

[@Derpster2493]

That's dog years. Brad Pitbull is ooooooold.

[@ChirpyMike]

She was hot then and she's hot now! What a beauty!

[@imfromdowntown]

Lea’s Pretty Woman audition story is interesting. The movie was originally supposed to be as she described - a drama about prostitution and drugs - and did not have a happy ending. Lea either auditioned before Disney took over and turned it into a Rom-Com or her agent forgot to tell her what was happening. 😆😆

[@NK-xu3vt]

Oooooo

[@kiranh8472]

Watch 'Variety - Actors on Actors' where Julia Roberts and Patricia Arquette mutually interview each other. Julia Roberts tells the whole backstory about it.

I met her in Dallas a year ago, sweet person. I wanted to tell her that she was my first Celebrity Crush when I was a kid, but I didn’t wanna be coming off as rude, be part of that one awkward fan story that celebrity’s tell fans about.

I just saw Lea Thompson on tv recently and she is still gorgeous. She has aged very well.

[@Lady_Crispr]

Aww Conan was like 5 years old there. So young.

[@ThunderPants13]

He was this many....🖐

[@flamingstallion]

She’s back here in good old 1995

[@andrewokamoto]

Who needs Richard Gere when you've had Howard the Duck

[@Ben-Bzrt]

Well Pretty Woman wasn't meant to be a comedy and they only changed it into one after Disney pressured them, so she wasn't really wrong

[@Kaddywompous]

I mean, it’s hard to imagine that “streetwalker comic fairytale” was the first storytelling instinct.

[@xjcrossx]

I never knew she auditioned for Pretty Woman, but now I think that she is the only other person who could've pulled off that role.

[@IgnatiusAlpha]

She's gorgeous. Always had a crush on her, especially on Caroline in the City.

[@martinb.770]

Loved Citc, too, thought, Amy Pietz stole the show. It was a pretty nice cast overall.

[@DelightLovesMovies]

I never saw her show but I love Back to the Future. She was so great in that.

I know her daughter cause I'm 24 but now after seeing how much people love her in the comments I'm going to start watching the shows she's in, she seems so adorable. New crush 😍

Lea is right about Pretty Woman; it’s a sad, sad unfunny movie if you really think about what’s really happening

[@gwillypdawg]

Is it weird that when i think of the words pretty woman i think of van halen first

The original script for Pretty Woman was a tragedy. I wonder if someone sabotage her audition but sending her the original script?

[@dronexfun8469]

Wow, a dueling scar, what an obscure reference.

Lea was my Sigourney Weaver when she was in her under ware in Howard the Duck.

[@AndrewsOpinion15]

happy 60th birthday lea katherine thompson !!!!

[@Teamo86]

She was was actually spot on. Pretty Woman was way grittier in it's original version. And it had another title in then. That's maybe why she didn't remember how it was called, the time she auditioned.

[@Henryk6203]

Just say, I have to say that Leah Thompson was an expert at this interview she knew exactly what could happen at any time 2:17.

[@Henryk6203]

She really is an absolute dream at times. At time she could be messy at times she could be oblivious. And other times people could just think like she could be the number one superstar. #LeahThompsonRocks 4:46.

[@Ryanstuff]

For a second I thought that was Tina Fey.

[@hannahsdrawings8664]

Lea made up movies ☺☺☺ for resume. How fun 😋😋😋 I think many actors just use the resemblence and do basically the same. I suspect that Tom Wilson doesn't like Gary Busey because Gary was saying he was in the Back To The Future... Idk. Just wondering 🤭

[@47imagine]

Hmm her misunderstanding of Pretty Woman is reminiscent of how Erie Stoltz blew his role in Back to the Future: he thought it was a tragedy.

[@Buckaroo_Baldwin]

Actually the original script for Pretty Woman was very dark. It wasn't a romantic comedy it was a female version of American gigolo or Midnight Cowboy. It was only after it it signed on with Touchstone (which was owned by Disney) that they made it more funny and more like a "fairytale"

[@cubdukat]

As stunning as ever.
