Great Scott Its been 40 years since "Back to the Future" blasted its way onto the big screen and became a beloved 80s classic.The film, which premiered on July 3, 1985, starred Michael J. Fox as Marty McFly and Christopher Lloyd as Dr. "Doc" Emmett Brown. It tells the tale of a teen who befriends a maverick scientist and, thanks to his invention, accidentally goes back in time to 1955.It was Claudia Wells first film as an actress. She played McFlys love interest, Jennifer Parker.1980S CHILD STAR TALKS 'GOONIES' SEQUEL, MUSIC CAREER, AND WHY AI THREATENS HOLLYWOOD'S MAGIC"Michael J. Fox was incredibly nice and easy-going [with me]," Wells recalled to Fox News Digital. "I loved feeling like I had a high school boyfriend whenever we were filming together. It was really wonderful.""He was funny, relaxed, very upbeat and, as everyone knows, such a genius with his acting," she gushed. "I remember us sitting in the BMW in the driveway of the last scene we were in. During breaks, he would play rock music. Since I grew up listening to opera, symphonies and Simon & Garfunkel, it was really the first time that I got to feel like a teenager, listening to teenager music.""I was nervous because it was the first time I was in an actual movie, not just television," Wells admitted. "But once the camera started rolling it was a breeze for me and very second nature [And] Jennifer Parker and I were very similar."The 59-year-old noted it was Lloyd who left her speechless on set."I was so surprised at how quiet Christopher Lloyd is," she said. "But I love that about him because when he speaks, its because he really has something to say. It makes me and others really want to listen."Looking back, Wells described how she struggled to shake off the jitters.CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR THE ENTERTAINMENT NEWSLETTER"I remember writing a long list of questions about the time sequence and why Jennifer was the same after all the things that changed from Marty being in 1955," Wells recalled. "I had lots and lots of questions about the time continuum. I was asking [screenwriter] Bob Gale all of these questions over the phone, prior to filming.""Bob [finally] said, Claudia, you think too much just be Jennifer," said Wells. "Bob Zemeckis was an extraordinary director. Hes very specific about how he directs, and thats one of the reasons I think that the movie turned out so amazingly."Wells continues to have fond memories of bringing the comedy to life."I loved making the film!" she said. "Bob Gale and I forged a great friendship from the beginning of me being cast to now. Its astounding to me that its already 40 years since the film came out. My life is forever changed for the better, because I got to be Jennifer Parker [And] what really makes me smile daily is how the movie has brought such a shared love to people throughout the world."The films success resulted in a trilogy, but Wells reluctantly turned down the offer to reprise her role. Elisabeth Shue went on to replace her in "Back to the Future II" (1989) and "Back to the Future III" (1990). At the time, Wells' mother, who was also her manager, was dying from breast cancer.WATCH: FAMILY TIES STAR MEREDITH BAXTER TALKS WORKING WITH MICHAEL J. FOX"I know she wanted me to continue doing the part and didnt agree with my decision," Wells previously told Fox News Digital. "But I was just not in a place emotionally where I could handle any more than what I was already handling. I wanted my mother to be supported and cared for. I left acting altogether, but I knew I would come back. I never felt it was over."Wells took a break from acting in 1986 and went on to open a menswear shop, Armani Wells, in Studio City, California.Back in 2021, Wells shared her favorite theory about her character."I had a business lunch [with a friend]," she told Fox News Digital at the time. "We were talking about Back to the Future and how Elisabeth Shue later became Jennifer. He said, You want to know why I really think you were Jennifer in the first movie and Elisabeth in the sequels? I thought he was going to say it was because my mom was so sick at the time.""He said, Forgive me, maybe Im too into this film, but when Marty went to the past, Doc Brown kept warning him, Be very careful about what you do, because youre going to change the future. If you do anything by mistake, it will affect someones life," Wells shared."He said, "I think Marty must have done something that changed Jennifer Parkers parents. One of the parents changed. So instead of your parents meeting, it was Elisabeth Shues parents who met, where one parent was different. And therefore, they gave birth to Elisabeth Shues version of Jennifer, not yours. And when he went into the present, everyone thought it was just normal because no one realized all the changes Marty made."LIKE WHAT YOURE READING? CLICK HERE FOR MORE ENTERTAINMENT NEWS"I thought that theory was so cool," said Wells. "Remember, Doc Brown kept warning Marty, Dont do any weird moves because youre going to alter the future. And I think thats why you see me in the first film, but not in the sequels. Its wild."

Redfearn told authorities that he believed that James poisoned his wife.TYLENOL MURDERS SUSPECT GAVE EERIE FINAL INTERVIEW BEFORE DEATHRedfearn alleged that James had ordered potassium cyanide, which investigators say is not used in dentistry.Once hospital staff learned of the allegations, they were considered mandatory reporters and alerted the Aurora Police Department Major Crimes Homicide Unit. Fox News Digital has reached out to the Aurora Police Department for comment.Court documents reveal the chilling digital footprint that James allegedly left behind, including his alleged use of a secret email account to search for undetectable poisons and purchase arsenic and cyanide.Authorities also allege he watched YouTube videos about how to kill without leaving a trace.The plot thickened as James alleged affair came to light with Karin Cain, a Texas orthodontist. Emails between the two, obtained through search warrants, revealed intimate conversations and planned trips.Authorities said James appeared to want to deliberately conceal his relationship with Karin, using a secret email address, jimandwaffles@gmail.com, which he created on Feb. 27, 2023, to communicate with Karin.His secret email account was not found on his phone, laptop or Angelas phone it was only accessed on the clinic computer in dental exam room No. 9, authorities said.After allegedly learning something had happened to Angela, Karin wrote:"Im so sorry for what youre going through I wish I was helping you and not pulling you away," she wrote to James.

The couple was on the verge of declaring bankruptcy for a second time, according to the documents.Kofoed told police that Craig had "multiple affairs with several women" and that he had drugged his wife about five years earlier because he had planned to die by suicide and didn't want her to stop him.GET REAL-TIME UPDATES AT THE FOX NEWS TRUE CRIME HUBJames was arrested and charged with the murder of his wife, Angela, in mid-March 2023.James Craig is charged with first-degree murder, solicitation to commit murder,solicitation to commit perjury,and two counts of solicitation to commit tampering with physical evidence.James allegedly offered a fellow inmate $20,000 to kill Detective Bobbi Olson, the lead investigator in his case and author of the 52-page affidavit. The plot surfaced through jailhouse conversations, which were recorded and reported by other inmates.Prosecutors said Craig also tried to fabricate a false suicide narrative for Angela, directing inmates to plant fake suicide letters suggesting she took her own life.He allegedly promised free dental work in exchange for cooperation, as well as money or other benefits.COLORADO DENTIST'S MURDER TRIAL PUT ON HOLD AFTER DEFENSE 'SUDDENLY QUIT' PRIOR TO JURY SELECTIONJames trial was delayed in November 2024 when attorney Harvey Steinberg withdrew from the case, just weeks before the trial was set to begin.Steinberg told the court that James Craig was insisting on pursuing a legal strategy that Steinberg believed was unethical, possibly illegal or fraudulent.Due to this last-minute withdrawal, the court granted continuance to allow James to hire new legal counsel and allow the new attorneys time to review the case.The trial was rescheduled and officially begins with jury selection on Monday, July 14. Proceedings are expected to run through Aug. 1.Fox News Digital's Mollie Worthy contributed to this report.

In a matter of minutes on a hot summer Saturday in northwestern Pennsylvania, the already unprecedented 2024 election cycle was rocked by an assassination attempt on President Donald Trump's life that had a sweeping effect not only on the upcoming presidency, but also staffers who witnessed the harrowing moment.Eight shots rang out at the Butler Farm Show Grounds at about 6:11 p.m. Eastern Time, roughly six minutes after Trump took the open-air rally's stage. The rally began on its typical lively note, with the former and upcoming president swaying to Lee Greenwood's "God Bless the USA" and engaging with supporters by pointing at them as they clapped and held up signs declaring, "Joe Biden, you're fired."The rally came to a screeching halt after Trump began his address and was seen grabbing the side of his head before abruptly dropping to the ground. Rally-goers were also seen ducking for cover as confusion gripped the small fairgrounds located just north of Pittsburgh.Secret Service agents threw their bodies over Trump as shields as they worked to get him off of the stage and to a secure location.FIRST RESPONDERS SIT DOWN WITH WIDOW OF FIREFIGHTER KILLED AT BUTLER, PENNSYLVANIA TRUMP RALLYActing Secret Service Director Sean M. Curran, one of the agents who rushed to protect Trump that day, told Fox News Digital that July 13, 2024, has remained at the top of his mind since he was tapped to lead the Secret Service."One year ago, I was by President Trumps side when a lone gunman attempted to assassinate him in Butler, Pennsylvania," Curran said. "My heart will always be with all those impacted on that day, especially Corey Comperatore, who lost his life while protecting those around him.""Since President Trump appointed me as director of the United States Secret Service, I have kept my experience on July 13 top of mind, and the agency has taken many steps to ensure such an event can never be repeated in the future," he continued. "Nothing is more important to the United States Secret Service than the safety and security of our protectees. As director, I am committed to ensuring our agency is fully equipped, resourced and aligned to carry out our important mission each and every day."ONE YEAR AFTER TRUMP ASSASSINATION ATTEMPT, BUTLER WIDOW DEMANDS ACCOUNTABILITY FROM SECRET SERVICETrump emerged into the camera's view with a trail of blood streaked across his cheek and famously raised a fist before defiantly chanting, "Fight, fight, fight" as law enforcement escorted him from the stage.White House chief of staff Susie Wiles, who served as Trump campaign manager in 2024 and witnessed the harrowing attempt, told the New York Post's Miranda Devine earlier in July in a podcast interview that she "100%" believes divine intervention protected Trump from a greater tragedy that day."The way the rally itself unfolded, the chart he had them put up on the screens it was always the last chart in the rotation. And it was always on the other side" of the stage, Wiles told Devine in an interview that published Wednesday. "To have him ask for that chart eight minutes in and to have it come on the side that is opposite caused him to look in a different direction... I believe God wanted him to live."SECRET SERVICE SUSPENDS 6 AGENTS TASKED WITH PROTECTING TRUMP DURING JULY 2024 ASSASSINATION ATTEMPTPennsylvania Sen. Dave McCormick, who was in the midst of his election cycle to unseat longtime Democrat Sen. Bob Casey, said in comment to Fox News Digital that he was just feet from Trump when the gunshots rang out."I was sitting just 15 feet from the stage at theButlerrally when the shots rang out.Moments before the attempted assassination, President Trump asked me to come on stage to give my remarks. As I was headed onstage, he prompted me to wait until after he spoke to the crowd about an immigration chart. Returning to my seat, I watched as President Trumpturned his attention and head towards the charta decision that likely saved his life," McCormick said."Moments later, a bullet meant for his head struck his ear. He went down, then stood up and raised his fist in defiance. That moment captured who he is at his corea strong leaderand marked a turning point in the 2024 election. Strong leadership sets a tone -- like a ripple effect. President Trump didnt panic and stood strong and so did the crowd. Instead of chaos, chants of 'USA' rang out."The shooting injured three people, including Trump, and killed local father and former fire chief Corey Comperatore.White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt reflected on Comperatore's tragic death in a comment to Fox Digital, underscoring that the president "will never forget Corey and his beautiful family.""One year ago in Butler, Pennsylvania, we tragically lost an American hero, Corey Comperatore, who selflessly laid down his life to protect those around him," she said. "President Trump will never forget Corey and his beautiful family. On that dark day, God spared President Trumps life by a miraculous millimeter. Now one year later, President Trump is standing stronger than ever as he continues to fight, fight, fight for the American people."Comperatore's widow, Helen, spoke to Fox News in an emotional interview about her husband's death earlier in July, demanding accountability from the Secret Service over how a gunman was able to fire off shots without intervention."We were all sitting ducks that day," Helen Comperatore told Fox News. "Our blood is all over their hands. I am angry. I lost the love of my life. They screwed up."TRUMP ASSASSINATION ATTEMPT AFTERMATH, REACTIONS FROM INNER CIRCLE REVEALED IN NEW BOOK"Why Butler? Why was that such a failure? Why weren't they paying attention? Why did they think that that roof didn't need covered?" she asked. "I want to sit down and talk to them. I have the right to. They need to listen to me."McCormick remembered Comperatore as a heroic dad and husband who died protecting his family."Corey Comperatorea Pennsylvanian, volunteer firefighter, and fatherwas sitting behind me. He died shielding his family. Im remembering Corey and praying for the Comperatore family on this one-year anniversary," the Republican Senator said.Longtime political reporter Salena Zito published a book in July detailing her recollections of the day, and said in an interview earlier this month with Fox Digital that she refused to duck for cover as gunshots rang out."I didn't get down," Zito said in an interview ahead of the book's release Tuesday. "There was this inner voice that told me, You have a job to do, continue doing it."Zito was located near the stage and the Secret Service's secure permitter when the gunman opened fire on Trump and the crowds."Time has these layers that happen," Zito added while reflecting on the 2024 events. "It's not remembering them. It's experiencing them. It's this interesting thing that happens. I see a sea of navy blue suits immediately surround him. Then, I hear the second four shots. I still didn't get down."TRUMP TELLS FOX NOTICIAS HE WOULD LIKE TO HEAR THE EXPLANATION BEHIND ASSASSINATION ATTEMPTSMcCormick told Fox Digital that recent politically-motivated attacks, including the targeted attacks and murder of a Minnesota state lawmaker in June, need to end and be replaced with civility that protects democracy."From the attempts on President Trump's life, to arson at the Pennsylvania Governors Residence, to the murder of Minnesota State Rep. Melissa Hortman and her husband, these politically-motivated attacks are an assault on democracy itself. Regardless of party, we must choose to engage civilly. This anniversary serves as a solemn reminder that for our country, violence borne from political disagreement is never the answer," he said.Following the assassination attempt, Trump quickly was whisked away from the rally to receive medical attention. Just a day later, June 14, 2024, the Republican National Convention was set to kick off in Milwaukee, with concern initially mounting that Trump might not be able to attend the convention due to the injury.The president, however, made his public return in Milwaukee that week while wearing a bandage over his ear. Trump officially accepted the party's nomination for him to serve as president, and delivered a 93-minute speech that was underscored by how the attempt on his life changed him.CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APP"There was blood pouring everywhere, and yet, in a certain way I felt very safe, because I had God on my side," Trump told the crowds of supporters on the final night of the RNC. "The amazing thing is that prior to the shot, if I had NOT moved my head at the very last instant, the assassins bullet would have perfectly hit its mark, and I would not be with you tonight."Fox News Digital's Deirdre Heavey contributed to this report.

The selection of Milwaukee Brewers pitcher Jacob Misiorowski to the MLB All-Star Game after only five career starts drew immense backlash from some players in the league.Philadelphia Phillies defended their own as they began to learn that Misiorowski was given the nod over players like Trea Turner, Ranger Surez and Cristopher Snchez.CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COM"What a joke. Thats f--- terrible. I mean, thats terrible, dude," Turner said on Friday night, via The Athletic.Phillies star Nick Castellanos said he remembered what former reliever Craig Kimbrel told him once when it came to the MLB All-Star Game, "Its turning into the Savannah Bananas."Turner was asked whether the Misiorowski nod "cheapens" the selection."Yeah, 100%. I mean, its not the All-Star Game in the sense that the best players go there, or people who have had the best season. Its whoever sells the most tickets or has been put on social media the most. Thats essentially what its turned into," Turner added.Misiorowski has been electric since he made his debut. He has a 2.81 ERA and 33 strikeouts, with his only blemish being an outing against the New York Mets on July 2.YANKEES SLUGGER AARON JUDGE HITS MILESTONE HOME RUN AT BLISTERING FAST PACEHe received support from his manager Pat Murphy and Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts amid the uproar."People want to see Miz pitch," Murphy said. "Hes the new shiny toy in the league. Its not deserving, that has nothing to do with it. Hes been given this opportunity. Its not his fault."This wasnt a fly-by-night decision. This is something they thought through. I think it would be really tough for the kid to say no to that."Roberts said the nod will add some "more excitement" to the All-Star Game.Murphy likened Misiorowski to former Detroit Tigers pitcher Mark "The Bird" Fidrych, who gained favor with the fans because of his idiosyncrasies on the mound. He was an All-Star the first two seasons of his career."From what I know of The Bird, it just seems that he was really authentic and really super talented," Murphy said. "Theres some parallels there for sure."The Associated Press contributed to this report.Follow Fox News Digitalssports coverage on X and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.

Sunday, July 13, marks one year since 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks opened fire at a campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania nearly assassinating President Donald Trump. Now, on the anniversary of that fateful day, the president is reflecting on its events and what might have happened had fate not stepped in."It was unforgettable," Trump recalled during an exclusive "My View with Lara Trump" interview on Saturday."I didn't know exactly what was going on. I got whacked. There's no question about that, and fortunately, I got down quickly because I think they shot eight bullets. Our sniper, within less than five seconds, was able to get him [Crooks] from a long distance with one shot. His [the sniper's] name is David, and he did a fantastic job."CRITICAL SECURITY LAPSES BY SECRET SERVICE EXPOSED IN NEW REPORT ON TRUMP ASSASSINATION ATTEMPTCrooks, whose behavior had roused suspicion from local law enforcement, climbed atop a nearby roof and took aim at the then-presidential nominee before firing off bullets that fatally struck 50-year-old volunteer firefighter Corey Comperatore and critically wounded rally attendees David Dutch and James Copenhaver.Trump has credited a chart showing the number of illegal immigrants who entered the country under the Biden administration with saving his own life. Without one split-second turn to read from the chart, experts have said it could have been "lights out" for the president.The breakdown on July 13 led to bipartisan calls for then-USSSDirectorKimberly Cheatle to resign.After her resignation,Ronald Rowe Jr., who was serving as the deputy director, was appointed as the acting director.ONE YEAR AFTER TRUMP RALLY SHOOTING, WITNESSES SAY INVESTIGATIONS LEAVE MORE QUESTIONS THAN ANSWERSHe held the position until Jan. 22, whenSean Curran, a veteran agent who had been part of Trump's protective detail during the assassination attempt, was appointed as the 28th director of the USSS.The impact of that day still resonates. Just last week, the Secret Service suspended six agents who were tasked with protecting Trump that day, but no agents were fired, as the Secret Service told Fox News that the entire agency failed, rather than individuals.Questions remain unanswered; notably, why did Crooks carry out the attack, and how did he get so close to succeeding?CLICK HERE FOR MORE COVERAGE OF MEDIA AND CULTUREWhile investigators have not identified a definitive ideological or political motivation, the FBI has suggested a complex interplay of personal grievances, mental health issues and a desire for notoriety that could have led to the attack.Trump said he has been briefed "numerous" times and is "satisfied" with the information he's received."They should have had somebody in the building. That was a mistake. They should have communicated with the local police. They weren't tied in, and they should've been tied in, so there were mistakes made, and that shouldn't have happened, and that building was a prime building in terms of what they were trying to do. So, but, I was satisfied in terms of the bigger plot, the larger plot I have great confidence in these people. I know the people, and they're very talented, very capable, but they had a bad day, and I think they'll admit that."
