LEA THOMPSON – 58 YEARS OLD

Sometimes, dreams don’t work out because we’re meant for another path. This is the case for Lea Thompson who was intent on becoming a ballerina—until they told her she was too “big” to be one. Thompson has been learning ballet since she was a child and started dancing professionally at the age of 14. When asked to give up ballet and choose to be an actress, Thompson thought “it was a wonderful moment because I could’ve been banging my head against the wall for another 10 years.”

That was when she made the switch to being an actress instead. A great career move, considering how much luck she got with the roles she landed. From movies such as Back to the Future to her own sitcom, Caroline in the City. The still gorgeous actress may be semi-retired and enjoying the fruits of her investment, but we can still have her daughter Zoey to watch out for.
