- [on why she was replaced by Elisabeth Shue in the 'Back to the Future' sequels] There was a lot of stuff going on at home, my mom was diagnosed with fourth stage cancer and that was right before 'Back to the Future II' and 'Back to the Future III' were to be filmed so I backed out of those films to deal with the turmoil at home.
