Actress Elsa Raven, who starred as the ‘clock tower lady’ in Back To The Future, has died at her home in Los Angeles, aged 91.
During her lengthy TV and film career, the actress appeared in series like The A-Team, Days of Our Lives, General Hospital, Quincy ME and Everybody Loves Raymond, and also filmed several scenes for blockbuster Titanic, which starred Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet.
Other credits include roles in The Amityville Horror, In The Line of Fire and The Moderns.
But viewers are likely to remember Raven for the scene in Back To The Future with Marty McFly and girlfriend Jenny where she shakes a donation box and pleads with them to “save the clock tower”.
