Mikhail Baryshnikov who was then the artistic director, informed her "You're an amazing dancer, but you're too stocky." According to her, it was "my moment of realization when I made the decision to stop dancing and not being a ballet performer. That was an incredible moment. I could have smashed my head on the wall for another ten years. "The actress turned her focus on acting.Moving to New York at age 20 and appearing in a number of Burger King advertisements in the 1980s alongside 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 began her home-media screen debut in 1982 as Cecily "Sissy" Loper in the live-action, interactive video game MysteryDisc Murder, Anyone? and her first movie in 1983 with Jaws 3D. The film was described by her as "the first movie I ever got, but I lied and said I had done a couple of other movies that I had done, so when I showed up, I was really practically nothing. I claimed that I knew how to water ski. I didn't. I had to learn water-skiing techniques that were very difficult to master in just five days, because I had to perform the Sea World water skiing show. I don't know how to swim!" She followed this up with All the Right Moves (1983), Red Dawn (1984) as well as The Wild Life (1984).
