Back to the Future: Secrets and Where They Are Now

14. The Jennifer Switcheroo

Few audience members will notice that the actor who played Marty’s girlfriend, Jennifer, changed from the first film to the second. In the first movie, Claudia Wells played the part. Family obligations kept her from reprising the role, so Elisabeth Shue played Jennifer in parts two and three.
