Molly Ringwald

Molly Kathleen Ringwald (born February 18, 1968) is an American actress, writer, and translator. She began her career as a child actress on the sitcoms ''Diff'rent Strokes'' and ''The Facts of Life'' (both 1979–1980) before being nominated for a Golden Globe for her performance in the drama film ''Tempest'' (1982). Ringwald became a teen idol following her appearances in filmmaker John Hughes' teen films ''Sixteen Candles'' (1984), ''The Breakfast Club'' (1985), and ''Pretty in Pink'' (1986). These films led to the media referring to her as a member of the "Brat Pack." Her final teen roles were in ''For Keeps'' and ''Fresh Horses'' (both in 1988).

Following leading roles in ''King Lear'' (1987), ''The Pick-up Artist'' (1987), ''Strike It Rich'' (1990), and ''Betsy's Wedding'' (1990), Ringwald moved to Paris and began acting in French films. In subsequent decades, Ringwald acted in the television shows ''The Secret Life of the American Teenager'' (2008–2013), ''Riverdale'' (2017–2023), ''Creepshow'' (2021), and ''Dahmer – Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story'' (2022). In February 2024, Ringwald made her runway modeling debut at New York Fashion Week, walking for Batsheva. Provided by Wikipedia
