Summary

Claudia Wells steps Behind The Rope. Best know for her role as Marty McFly’s girlfriend, “Jennifer Parker” in the 80s Classic “Back To The Future”, Claudia is here to tell it all. Claudia almost didn’t get a chance to star in the first film in this overly successful franchise due to a conflicting TV pilot. Fear not, alls well that ends well. She chats about how she was cast - yes it involved a once in a lifetime audition with the one and only Steven Spielberg, chats about how Eric Stoltz was the “original” Marty McFly, how one day Eric Stoltz was out, how another day Mr. Alex Keaton, legend Michael J. Fox was in and how, due to a variety of unforeseen circumstances, she was back in. Claudia chats about what it was like to work with Michael J. Fox back in the day, their relationship throughout the years and the status of that relationship today. On a more serious note, we chat about her, and the industries, reaction to Michael’s announcement many years ago that he was a working actor, and a damn good one at that, living with Parkinson’s Disease. Claudia shares Hollywood stories of who she knows, has had runs ins with, both good and bad, and how the industry has changed throughout the years. Of course, all roads lead back to Housewives, we chat about the Reality TV she watches and what she thinks about the current crop of Real Housewives. Living in LA, that involves The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. Claudia chats about her love for LVP (new show alert!). She also weighs in on the RHOBH topic du jour, The Erika and Tom Girardi Divorce. We also chat about the rabid, in a good way, “Back to The Future” fans who travel all over the world to meet Jennifer Parker. Some of those fans even descend upon her blockbuster “Armani Wells Men’s Resale” store. Yes, she signs autographs and takes pics there and yes she guessed The Rope’s jacket size over Zoom. A fun trip down memory lane! @claudiawells @behindvelvetrope @davidyontef Bonus Episodes Available at - https://www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetrope Brought to you by Mint Mobile https://www.mintmobile.com/velvetrope Brought to you by Better HELP https://www.betterhelp.com/velvetrope Merch Available at - https://www.teepublic.com/stores/behind-the-velvet-rope?ref_id=13198 Learn more about your ad choices.
