Cynthia Thompson

Cynthia Ann Thompson was a lovely, spunky and appealing blonde actress with long curly hair, a cute face, a shapely figure, and a wonderfully vivacious personality who alas only acted in a handful of enjoyable low-budget Grade B pictures in the 80s. She was born on June 24, 1959 in Santa Maria, California. Her parents were Roy L. Thompson and Pat Rhoades. Thompson had two brothers named Michael and David. Cynthia gave a winningly sweet and vibrant performance as the innocent and enticing Eba in the amusing comedy romp Cavegirl (1985). She was funny as the vacuous Amanda in the entertainingly tacky Tomboy (1985) and likable as the cheery Cissy in the nifty backwoods slasher horror outing Camping del terrore (1986). Thompson had small parts in Hollywood Harry (1986) and the campy 1988 Not of This Earth (1988) remake. Following her portrayal of feisty CIA agent Angel in the action opus Rescue Force (1990), Cynthia called it quits as an actress and married Gary Glum. She was the mother of two children named Knokos and Britannia. Thompson died at age 50 from cancer on October 10, 2009 in Bakersfield, California. Show less «
