Back to the Future

Mary Steenburgen lent her vocal talents to the character of Clara Clayton in the animated television adaptation of "Back to the Future," bringing a new dimension to the beloved franchise. As the schoolteacher with a passion for science and a budding romance with Doc Brown, Steenburgen's performance captured the essence of Clara's adventurous spirit and intellectual curiosity. Her voice work was both tender and assertive, perfectly embodying Clara's dualities as a character torn between the propriety of the late 19th century and her own progressive ideals. Steenburgen infused Clara with a warmth and determination that resonated with fans, making her portrayal a standout element of the animated series.
