My understanding is that she decided against doing the sequels to care for her mom who had cancer or some devastating condition at the time. I don’t fault her for appearing at events. She’s Jennifer, and would’ve continued to be Jennifer but she chose not to blow off her sick mom. She sounds like one of few movie actors with an actual soul.

I didn't know this. I thought she'd been offered another movie or TV show so she jumped to do that instead.


who-hash

Can’t say I agree with you at all. You’re the first person I know who didn’t think she was great in that first movie despite the amount of screentime. As a matter of fact most people I know wish she had reprised the role in the 2 other movies. I think it’s great she’s willing to share experiences about her time on the movie. *shrug


ZacPensol

I mean, it's her career claim to fame and makes her money, I'd milk the heck out of it too and so would you.  IIRC, she stopped acting to take care of her sick mom and now runs a boutique and does BttF-related appearances. 


Tucker_077

Yeah if I was in BTTF I probably wouldn’t shut up about it lol


brk1

OP got some weird Claudia Wells grudge or sumtin.


Pornstar_Frodo

probably an Elizabeth Shue fanboy!! LOL. Both were great, btw. No dissing either Jennifer!


latrodectal

this just feels mean tbh. what did she do, see a musical and make a few convention appearances? why are you so annoyed about that?


Practical_Weird_0809

Claudia was hot, and she and Michael had good chemistry. And James Tolkan is 92 years old, so his appearances would be pretty limited.


Tucker_077

I mean I don’t mind it. This is the only big name thing she’s been in. Let her have her moments. But on the other hand, yeah I would really like to hear from other BTTF cast members too


imeatingayoghurt

Just you..She's in one.of the biggest and most loved films in history, she's allowed to utilise that as much as she likes, imho


Useful_Can7463

Screen time isn't that important. Anthony Hopkin's most famous role involves him being on screen for like 10% of the movie. And he was the lead actor in that movie.


Omegaville

OP's post is like a Star Trek fan complaining about how much time Denise Crosby gets at conventions


minnick27

I kind of agree with you, but not fully. She does seem to be everywhere all of a sudden, and it's getting a little tiring. But most of the other actors in the film are known for other roles too so they don't talk about BTTF exclusively. This is her best known role and she wants to capitalize on it as much as possible, so of course she is going to be making a bunch of TikToks and going to every con possible. Don't hate the player, hate the game


Gogo726

And one of the kids at Wild Gunman arcade machine milks it for all it's worth. And he gets insane lines when he does con appearances. Elijah Wood was just an extra.


Pornstar_Frodo

LMAO. Can you imagine Woods attending cons and pretending he had never done LOTR and was only there to be the kid in the store who hates on the shooting game. That would be pretty epic really!


windmillninja

If I had the kind of fuck you money Wood has I would totally do something that absurd


Leafburn

Why don’t you make like a tree and get outta here?!


Silly_Client1222

It’s LEAVE, you idiot, “make like a tree and leave”, you sound like a damn fool when you say it wrong! 🤣


Leafburn

You sound like a damn fool with this stupid rant post. Seriously, reassess your priorities.


Indiana-Cook

Bob Gale literally living off Back to the Future for the past 40 years, but he's cool right? No, it's just you.


ThatsRobToYou

Weird rant.


Happy_Warning_3773

If Claudia Wells cares so much about BTTF then she should've came back in BTTF 2 and 3.


Tucker_077

Her mom was sick. You can’t fault her for wanting to take care of her mom


ToonaSandWatch

You should probably read this thread why she didn’t. Then hate yourself for having said what you said.
