31 | !!Tropes in her works: |
32 | |
33 | * TheCastShowoff: She performed her own singing in ''Film/HowardTheDuck''. |
34 | * OldShame: Actually subverted as far as ''Howard the Duck'' is concerned. She takes a lot of pride in her role on the film in spite of its flaws, and has even offered to direct a reboot for Marvel herself. |
35 | * StarDerailingRole: Though she's not bitter about it, between ''Howard the Duck'' and ''Film/SpaceCamp'', 1986 was ''not'' a good year for Thompson. Outside the BTTF trilogy, she wouldn't find major success on the silver screen again. Though her TV role in ''Series/CarolineInTheCity'' would keep her in the popular consciousness in the latter half of TheNineties. |
