How she looks now v. the older Lorraine in BTTF

Archived from the IMDb Discussion Forums — Lea Thompson
rval — 17 years ago(July 03, 2008 03:32 PM)
In the Back To The future series, Lea Thompson was "aged" about 25 years via make-up. She's now a little older in real life than the age that she portrayed as the older Lorraine McFly.
The make-up guys missed big on this one. I guess the assumption was that she would have a fuller face, and a frumpy figure.
To me, Lea's face today is thinner than when she was younger, as in Red Dawn and Some Kind of Wonderful5b4. I never really found her attractive when she was younger. She had the type of build that one could see progressing to heavier hips and thighs and the loss of a figure as she got older. It even states in her bio in IMDB that Mikhail Baryshnikov said she was too stocky when she was a young ballerina.
I think she looks just fine now for her age. I believe she has aged well. -

Yeah, in the beginning of BTTF, they implied 1985 Lorraine was a drunk as well as a smoker, which accounted for her less-than-stellar looks at that age in that timeline. But at the end, after Marty fixes things, she looks much better at the same age. < spoilers lol

40-50 year olds in 1985 looked waaaay older than they do today. People like Clint Eastwood, Gene Hackman, Charles Bronson. So it wasn't far fetched back then. Now, it's people like Lea Thompson, Michael J. Fox, Matthew Brodderick, Kelly Preston etc. who are that age. Not exactly geezers!

It is SO offensive when idiots say "I'd hit that&quo5b4t; about any women. And it's always a guy who would have ZERO chance with the lady in question. The sad thing is that your comment was cute up to that point.
So yeah, you go try to "hit that", let us know how it works out for ya. And "semi-star"? Everyone knows who Lea Thompson is. Hell, my best friend still gets stopped by complete strangers im the street and told she looks exactly like Lea, so I guess a few people know about her. She's a star, and you are rude. -

How is it offensive to say "I'd hit that"? It's a compliment! It was also a hypothetical comment; it's not like the guy has any plans to hit on Lea Thompson (although, even if he did, how would you know if he has a chance or not?).
