Reason #1 why we love Lea Thompson, who just landed a new ABC Family pilot, Switched at Birth: She's the girl we all wanted to be in the '80s. Reason #2: She's like the estimable honey badger when it comes to real talk about her old Red Dawn co-star turned Qaddafi of Hollywood, Charlie Sheen.
Movieline's Carly Steel caught up with the lovely Thompson at the Film Independent Spirit Awards, where she pondered the possibility of a Back to the Future reboot, picked her favorite new Marty McFly candidate, played My Favorite Scene, and addressed the pop culture-dominating phenomenon that is the Sheenpocalypse.
