Claudia Wells is an American actress and businesswoman, best known for her role as Jennifer Parker in the 1985 film Back to the Future.

By then, Wells's pilot had been finished and she was recast as Jennifer, now shooting alongside Fox, having never filmed a frame with Stoltz.

After her mother was diagnosed with breast cancer, Wells put her career on hold for family reasons, and told the studio she would not be available to reprise her Back to the Future role for the two sequels.
