Lea Thompson Now
Caroline in the City definitely wasn’t the last thing Lea Thompson did, but for a few years, it looked like it might be. After Caroline in the City went off the air, Thompson took a break from acting to have and raise her children. When she resumed acting, she went on to star in several Broadway plays and made-for-TV movies.
In 2011, Thompson landed another great television role to show off her acting talents as Kathryn Kennish in Switched at Birth. Thompson also directed two episodes, “Prudence, Avarice, Lust, Justice, Anger” in season two, and “Your Body is a Battleground” in season three. Both of Thompson’s daughters, Madelyn and Zoey, are also actresses.
