About Claudia Wells
Claudia Wells is a Malaysian actress of Caucasian ethnicity, best known as the first actress to play Jennifer Parker in the Back to the Future film series. Born in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, she spent her early childhood in Punto Fijo, Venezuela, and later moved to San Francisco, California, where she graduated from high school. Her breakout came in 1985 when she appeared in the TV movie Stop the Madness and then portrayed Jennifer Parker in the original Back to the Future film. She was unable to reprise the role for the sequels because her mother was diagnosed with cancer during filming, and Elisabeth Shue took over the part.
After that, Wells appeared in the TV movie Babies Having Babies and the short-lived series Fast Times, a TV adaptation of the 1985 film Fast Times at Ridgemont High. She then took a hiatus from acting, not appearing on-screen again until the 1996 independent film Still Waters Burn. In 2011, she finally returned to the Back to the Future franchise, voicing Jennifer Parker in the video game Back to the Future: The Game. That same year, she co-starred in the anti-drug music video Stop the Madness. In 1991, she launched a mens' clothing store called Armani Wells, which she still manages. At 60 years old, she stands 5'4" tall and has an average build. She has hazel eyes and brown hair, and her measurements are 34–25–35. She has 42k Instagram followers.
