Claudia Wells, who played Marty's girlfriend, Jennifer, in the first film, echoed the sentiment, telling ecstatic fans they were the "kindest, nicest, most warm and giving people I've ever known".

Lea Thompson recalled her most memorable scene in the Back to the Future film, Thompson said, "That whole sequence was really important... I remember how nervous Bob Z. [Zemeckis] was because these were big plot points that we had to sell with acting," Thompson said. "And I got to kiss Michael, so that was good times!"
