Brat Pack: Where Are They Now?

Molly Ringwald

Ringwald has been one of the best at keeping her name in the news since her slew of '80s high school hits (1984's Sixteen Candles and 1986's Pretty in Pink, to name a few) earning a steady stream of credits before making a splash playing a parent in the teen-centric series The Secret Life of the American Teenager and Riverdale. She then went on to appear in Netflix's Kissing Booth films (2018–2021) and Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story.

In 2017, her former Pretty in Pink costar Andrew McCarthy revealed that Ringwald would be playing his son Sam's mother in the movie All These Small Moments. "She emailed me on the first day and she said, 'Your son just did a scene and when he walked away, it was just like watching you walk away from me 30 years ago,' " McCarthy recalled on The MOMS.

Ringwald has three children with husband Panio Gianopoulos, whom she married in 2007.

McCarthy became an '80s movie all-star, acting in Pretty in Pink, Mannequin (1987), Less Than Zero (1987) and Weekend at Bernie's (1989).
