A Cinematic Family Affair

From her iconic role in Back to the Future to her poignant performance in Switched at Birth, Lea Thompson has captivated audiences for decades. However, the actress's most cherished achievement lies in a deeply personal project: collaborating with her daughters, Maddie and Zoey Deutch, on The Year of Spectacular Men.

In a heartfelt moment, Thompson revealed to Us Weekly, “One of the highlights of my career was sharing The Year of Spectacular Men with my daughters, Madelyn and Zoey. Creating something together with the two individuals I cherish and admire was truly my proudest achievement.”

This 2017 film marked Thompson's directorial debut and turned out to be a genuine family venture. In addition to portraying their mother, Thompson's daughters played significant roles, with Maddie not only acting but also contributing as a writer, producer, and composer.

As Madelyn and Zoey navigate their own journeys in Hollywood, they can always turn to their mom for both career insights and fashion tips, thanks to her impressive vintage clothing collection. “I have a passion for collecting, but vintage clothing is my favorite because it serves a dual purpose in films and is available for my kids to borrow,” she shared.

Currently, Thompson shines in Hallmark+’s The Chicken Sisters, with new episodes streaming every Thursday. Fans can dive deeper into her world with these fun insights:

• Montana Love: Thompson treasures her double-wide vacation home in Montana.
• Character Connection: She resonates with her Chicken Sisters character, Nancy, as a devoted family member.
• Fashion Flashbacks: She still has her iconic pink outfits from Some Kind of Wonderful.
• Unique Talent: “I have ambidextrous eyebrows. I can lift one eyebrow at a time, which is especially important when you’re an aging actress,” she quips.
• Nostalgic Memories: Fond childhood summers in Minnesota hold a special place in her heart.

With a wealth of anecdotes and experiences, Thompson continues to inspire both on and off the screen. Her journey is a testament to the power of family, creativity, and an enduring love for storytelling.
