Actress Claudia Wells was born on July 5, 1966 in the city of Kuala Lumpur - the capital of Malaysia. It was here that at that time there were the parents of our heroine, who did not stay long in one place. For this reason, the girl’s childhood passed in constant travel and moving.

Claudia Wells spent most of her youth in the provincial town of Punto Fiho, Venezuela. Here the girl received secondary education, attending a local school. However, the certificate was handed over to our heroine in San Francisco, where fate threw her along with her parents.

Movie debut

In films, Claudia Wells started acting quite early. The girl gained her first experience in this field at the age of 13. In 1979, a novice artist was invited to a small multi-part project called "Family". However, according to the results of the casting of young Claudia Wells, she got a cameo role, which suggested a fleeting appearance on the screen. Moreover, the girl did not have to utter a single remark in the frame.

Then, for about a decade, Claudia darted from one project to another. Most films with her participation were of interest only to a limited television audience. The only comparative success at the start of his career was the appearance of Claudia Wells in a music video called Stop the Madness. The video was part of the campaign for President Ronald Reagan’s administration. In the video, the young actress, along with other artists, musicians and athletes, happened to reveal the relevance of the topic of the fight against drug addiction.

The finest hour of the actress

In 1985, our heroine finally began a bright streak in her career. After many years of working on television, the vivid image of the actress interested the creators of a promising Hollywood project with an impressive budget. We are talking about the fantastic film "Back to the Future." Claudia Wells had the opportunity to work with such respected directors as Robert Zemeckis, Stephen Spielberg and Bob Gale.

In the film, the plot of which narrated about the time travel of an ordinary schoolboy named Marty McFly, the actress got the image of a girlfriend of the central character. It is worth noting that initially the authors of the tape planned to entrust the role of another actress. After all, at that time, Claudia Wells was bound by contractual obligations with the television channel ABC. However, the film's directors still managed to agree with the leadership of the specified company on attracting the actress to the film "Back to the Future".

Immediately after entering the wide screens, the picture acquired the status of a hit. Actors who starred, including Claudia Wells, became real idols of American youth. In the upcoming parts of the film, the image of our heroine should have been paid much more attention. Despite the prospects for a bright future, the actress was forced to stop working with the creators of a successful franchise. The cause was an oncological disease diagnosed in Claudia's mother. The actress returned to the family and for some time tied up with filming in the cinema.

Career development

Claudia Wells back to the future

Claudia Wells returned to the resumption of work in late 1986, when she was invited to take part in a remake of the cult film “Easy Times in Ridgemont High”. The actress got one of the central images in the multi-part television project. However, the series was not successful with a wide audience. Therefore, the authors of the film pretty soon decided to curtail production. The project was closed before the end of the first season.

Failure most negatively affected the career of Claudia. The actress for many years lost attention from reputable directors and studio agents. Our heroine returned to filming only in 1996, having received a role in an inconspicuous project called Still Waters Burn. Surprising is the fact that the tape was released on wide screens only in 2008. The reason was the problems with financing the project.

After another long break, the actress starred in the fantastic film "Aliens Armageddon", which was released in 2011. At the same time, Claudia Wells tried herself as a voice actress. The voice of the artist went to the heroine of a computer game, created based on the tape "Back to the Future".

Personal life

Currently, the actress extremely rarely appears on the screens. The last role for Wells was the image of the heroine of the movie “Quinn”, which is scheduled to be shown in 2018. The actress devotes the bulk of her free time to the family and raising her only son named Sebastian. Among other things, the artist is engaged in business development, acting as the owner of the boutique Armani Wells, which is located in Los Angeles.
