Meet Claudia Wells at Retro Con 2022!

“While you were outside pouting over the car, Jennifer Parker called you twice.”

Please welcome Claudia Wells as guest for Retro Con 2022, September 24th & 25th at the Greater Philadelphia Expo Center in Oaks, PA!

Claudia’s starring role as Jennifer Parker, Marty McFly’s supportive high school sweetheart in the massive 1985 hit film BACK TO THE FUTURE, forever put her in movie history as part of one of the greatest films of all time! That’s the POWER of love!

While personal obligations prevented her from taking part in the BTTF sequels, Claudia later had the chance to reprise her role as the voice of Jennifer in the Back to the Future video game by Telltale Games (2010), and she’s taken part in several BTTF documentaries over the years. Claudia is also the longtime owner and operator of the clothing store ‘Armani Wells’ in Los Angeles.

Claudia is very spirited and loves Back to the Future and fans of the series! So please visit her table in the guest section to say hi and to get your autographs/photo ops. She’ll be right next to the DeLorean time machine! All prices will be up on the website very soon.

Hosted once again by our good friend Mike Breaux of  The Breaux Show, the contest will be held in the panel area at the convention on Saturday!

No sign-up is required and there are no age restrictions- Anyone can watch or play! We will reveal each item one at a time, then ask a trivia question related to it. Directly after we will randomly call on a person in the audience with their hand raised to answer. If they get it right, they win the prize on the spot. If not, we ask a different audience member until the prize is claimed!
