She is best known for her work starring alongside Michael J. Fox in Back To The Future…who is the mystery star?

This actress looked unrecognizable as she stepped out in an eccentric, retro outfit for a Hollywood event in Los Angeles on Thursday.

The Malaysia-born star, now 58, showcased a bolder style but rocked a nearly identical hairstyle as when she starred in Back to the Future.

Back then, she was a teenager when she starred opposite Michael J. Fox, then 22 and now 63, in the 1985 hit movie. 

In perhaps her most well-known role, she portrayed the original Jennifer Parker but was later replaced as Marty McFly’s girlfriend by another actress in the two sequels. 

She also starred in the CBS series, Herbie, the Love Bug, but after she left Hollywood as a teenager, she took a hiatus from acting for nearly three decades.

Nowadays, she works as a business owner and runs a high-end men’s resale store, Armani Wells, in Studio City. 

Can you guess who she is?

She’s Claudia Wells!

She is best known for starring in Back to the Future and playing the original Jennifer Parker.

She exited the franchise after the first movie and did not return to reprise her role for the two sequels due to family matters. 

At the time, she explained that her mother had been diagnosed with cancer and she decided to put her acting career on hold. 

She took care of her mother until she passed away in 2008. 

In 2011, about 26 years after she left Hollywood, Wells returned to acting, appearing in the indie sci-fi film Alien Armageddon.

That same year, she also reprised her role as Jennifer Parker and did voice acting for Back to the Future: The Game.

And in 2020, she was seen posing with a DeLorean, 35 years after starring in the original blockbuster movie, which she called her ‘favorite car.’
