Some other notable moments in her career include working on big movies like Men In Black, Planet of the Apes, and Men In Black II, which was her latest credited project. She's known for her skills in techniques like seaming and patching for silicone prosthetic makeup.
In a 2008 interview with Maxim, Thornton mentioned that he probably wouldn't get married again because he wanted to spare himself from public scrutiny in Angland.
