Cynthia Ann Thompson - A Look Back At The "Cave Girl"

I remember watching “Cave Girl” as a teen back in the 1980s and my friends and are were unimpressed as it took too long to get to the “good part.” Actually, I don’t remember if there were any good parts to that flick aside from the presence of Cynthia Anna Thompson. 

In hindsight, I don’t know why I wasn’t more smitten with Thompson. In her IMDB profile she is described as a “lovely, spunky and appealing blonde actress with long curly hair, a cute face, a shapely figure, and a wonderfully vivacious personality”…couldn’t agree more. Her screen presence was alluring to say the least. 

She was born on June 24th, 1959 in Santa Maria, California and go onto garner roles in six different B-movies…
Rescue Force
Not of This Earth
Body Count
Hollywood Harry
Cavegirl
Tomboy

I did find an upload of Body Count described on the IMDB as a “nifty backwoods slasher” but I haven’t watched it as of yet. Skimming through, it looks like she is wasted in a marginal role. 



She’s without a doubt best known for the role in Cavegirl. Tragically, she would die at the age of 50 after a battle with cancer.
