Mini Biography

Jessica McClure became famous at 18 months after getting herself trapped in a Midland, Texas well in October 1987. She had been left unattended for just a moment in the backyard of her aunt's daycare center when she fell into 8-inch wide pipe that was 22 feet below ground. Rescuers worked for almost 3 days to free her. The story gained worldwide attention and she was dubbed "Baby Jessica." Her frantic parents and an army of 400 rescue workers and volunteers attempted to rescue her while a nation waited. Jessica was finally pulled out on Oct. 16, 1987, amid a sea of cameras and onlookers. After five weeks of recovery and six surgeries, Jessica entered a media maelstrom, including press conferences, meeting President Reagan, and the establishment of a multi-million dollar trust fund (to remain untouched until she turns 25). Her parents have kept her away from the media since she was rescued.

"My scars remind me that I'm a survivor and that God loves me."
