Retrieved July 5, 2013.〕 Birch is of German Jewish, Scandinavian, and Italian ancestry.〔 The family's original surname was Biersch. Her name Thora is derived from the name of the Norse God of thunder and lightning, Thor. She has a younger brother named Bolt. Due to their own experience with acting, Birch's parents were reluctant to encourage her in the profession, but were persuaded to show her photograph to agents by a babysitter who noticed her imitating commercials. She had several parts in the late '80s, such as advertisements for Burger King, California Raisins, Quaker Oats and Vlasic Pickles.〔("Thora Birch Profile" ) Thora.org. Retrieved on May 9, 2011.〕
