Hardin was cast as Jennifer Parker in the ’80s film alongside Eric Stoltz, but when Stoltz was replaced with Michael J. Fox, Hardin also got the boot.

Melora Hardin admits that it was devastating being axed from “Back to the Future” for simply being taller than the film’s star, Michael J. Fox.

“[It was] so very, very painful,” the 54-year-old actress tells Page Six. “There’s no doubt it was very painful.”— says she was able to get over the disappointment because “I’d already had painful things happen, so I knew how to get through things.” It wasn’t until years later that she found out the directive to fire her from “Back to The Future” came from two female executives who “felt that it emasculated their lead character to have a taller girlfriend.”
