Back to the Future star Lea Thompson was a proud mom on the red carpet on Tuesday, as she supported her daughter ahead of the release of her newest film, Gail Daughtry and the Celebrity Sex Pass.
The 65-year-old looked incredible in a white dress that fell to just above her knees, featuring long sleeves and a draped scarf. She paired the look with strappy beige heels and dangling earrings, and wore her blonde hair in a stylish bob as she made the rare public appearance.
Lea’s 31-year-old daughter, Zoey Deutch, wowed in a black one-shoulder gown with a high halter neck and draped detailing down one sleeve. She added black heels to complete the look and wore her hair in a chic up-do.
The mother-daughter duo beamed as they walked the red carpet together ahead of Zoey’s new film, which follows her character, Gail Daughtry, as she travels to Hollywood to seek revenge on her fiancé by orchestrating a celebrity encounter.
Also in attendance on the special night was Zoey’s dad, Howard Deutch, who has been married to Lea since 1989, after meeting on the set of Some Kind of Wonderful.
The couple also share a 35-year-old daughter, Madelyn Deutch, who is an actress and musician. The three women worked together on the 2017 film The Year of Spectacular Men, which happened to be Lea’s directorial debut.

I’m sure they learned a lot about me! I was surprised by how sharp their comedy skills are, and what mensches they are to their fellow crew members,” she said.
Lea acknowledged that it couldn’t have been easy for her girls to follow her path to Hollywood, and shared that she was honored they had the same career aspirations as her.

I am so sad.’ Tears would come down, and I’d say, ‘What’s going on here?'”

“She’s inspired me in so many ways more than just the obvious thing of following in her footsteps as an actress,” the brunette beauty told DuJour magazine. “She’s a really, really remarkable woman. She just goes about her day, and I don’t think she realizes the gravity of the show-not-tell attitude.”
