Mini Bio
Claudia Wells (born July 5, 1966) is an American actress, best known for playing Jennifer Parker in the 1985 film Back to the Future.
Backstage
- Her family is Ashkenazi Jewish (from Germany, Czechia, and Russia). She became a born-again Christian at a young age.
- Has a son named Sebastian.
- According to a 2015 interview for "Star Tracks" on Radio Bavaria International / HillValley.de, the name Wells is an acting name she came up with when she was 12--no relation to H.G. Wells, his great grandson Simon Wells, or Vernon Wells.
- Her family moved to San Francisco, California when she was a few weeks of age.
- "\[on why she was replaced by Elisabeth Shue in the 'Back to the Future' sequels\] There was a lot of stuff going on at home, my mom was diagnosed with fourth stage cancer and that was right before 'Back to the Future II' and 'Back to the Future III' were to be filmed so I backed out of those films to deal with the turmoil at home."
