CLAUDIA WELLS

Claudia Wells rose to fame after portraying Jennifer Parker in the 1985 film Back to the Future. The preceding year, she starred in the tv series Babies Having Babies and the short-lived series Fast Times. She took a hiatus from acting when her mother was diagnosed with an illness, despite her career advancing on an upward trajectory toward celebrity success. Her involvement in charities, the most recent of KidsInTheSpotlight.org, was prompted by that tragic event.

Wells came back to acting in 2011 with a small part in the film Alien Armageddon. She had the chance to relaunch her character from Back to the Future in the same year, 26 years after her last performance. She also did a voice-over for Back to the Future: The Game by Telltale Games. The actress has over 50 credits in film, television, and theater, but she believes her actual on-screen acting career is still beyond her as she seeks out challenging roles that defy tradition and push the limits.
