Mikhail baryshnikov was then the artistic director, told herthat "You're a lovely dancer however, you're a bit bulky." She described that incident as "my epiphany" that led her to give up dancing and to become an ballet dancer. It was an amazing moment since I could have been banging my head against the wall for another 10 years. "The actress changed her concentration to acting.Moving to New York at age 20 and appearing in a number of Burger King advertisements in the 1980s along with Sarah Michelle Gellar and Elisabeth Shue, her eventual co-star in Back to the Future Part II and Back to the Future Part III.CareerThompson has made her home media screen debut in 1982, playing Cecily "Sissy" Loper in the interactive live-action video game MysteryDisc: Murder, Anyone? Jaws 3-D was her feature film debut in 1983. Also, I had said that I knew how to water ski. I wasn't. I had to learn water-skiing techniques that were really difficult in five days because I had to be able to perform the Sea World water skiing show. I don't know how to swim!" This was followed up by All the Right Moves (1983) as well as The Red Dawn(84) and along with The Wild Life (1984).
