Lea Thompson's latest project is the CTV original series “The Spencer Sisters,” in which Thompson stars as a mystery writer turned sleuth.
One of the stranger reactions Lea Thompson gets in relation to her star-making role in the “Back to the Future” films is from fans who wonder why she “quit acting” after those movies came out in the 1980s and early ’90s.
Farber, herself, knows something about fan recognition. She said she gets stopped at least once a day for “Degrassi: The Next Generation,” in which she played Ellie Nash for eight seasons. There was mutual admiration apparent between the two actors when they sat down for an interview at Bell Media headquarters in downtown Toronto. By contrast, the mother-daughter relationship in “The Spencer Sisters” is decidedly chilly, although one suspects it will thaw as the season progresses.
Farber, luckily, didn’t have an adversarial relationship with her own mother to draw on — “I have a great relationship with my mom” — but she could relate to Darby’s discomfort at moving back into her mother’s house. She and Thompson both started in the business as adolescents. Thompson said she’s been acting since she was 12. Farber began work on “Degrassi” at 14, with a couple of short film credits before that.
