{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Lea Thompson left the set of “Back to the Future Part II” with an unforgettable souvenir.
In honor of the film’s 35th anniversary, as well as the release of “Back to the Future: The Ultimate Trilogy,” the actress admitted she took her prosthetic breasts home after filming was completed.
“From ‘Back to the Future Part II,’ I took my prosthetic breasts,” the 59-year-old told People magazine on Wednesday.

According to the outlet, Thompson wore the artificial piece in the 1989 time-traveling sequel after her character Lorraine was forced to get implants when she married Biff Tannen (Thomas F. Wilson) within the 1985 alternative timeline.

Thompson, who appeared in all three films within the series, told the outlet that she has fond memories of her time bringing them to life.
“I feel like I’ve had such a great life and a great career,” she said. “And I’m happy that the thing that I’m most known for is such a great movie that’s had such an effect on people’s lives.”

“Lorraine McFly was such an interesting part, and as an actor, was such an opportunity to show my range,” she shared. “So I feel incredibly blessed.”
Thompson also said the films can still be enjoyed in 2020.

“It’s just like the perfect storm because it was nostalgic about the ‘50s and it’s nostalgic about the ‘80s,” she added.
