I gotta say first that she is still a cutie, she still has the babyface looks that guys fell in love in the 80's. However, to be objective Ringwald's career is at best average if not mediocre.

While I'am not going to be overly critical she is an example of luck and the fads of the time (the 80's) to start a girl's career. Her best work came as she was teenager starring in teenybopper movies like "Sixteen Candles", "For Keeps" and "The Breakfast Club". However, like many child, teen stars as soon that time period was over, so was her career.

With the exception of Demi Moore, Rob Lowe and Andrew McCarthy, Ringwald like the other Brat Pack stars never really accomplished anything huge. She had her fifteen minutes of fame then it was gone. She's done films since then but most of them are highly forgettable.

I can't remember any of them being highly praised. It's a shame because she had potential and just seemed to be happy to get what she received. She was great in an episode of "Medium" playing a blind woman stalked by a man. However, that doesn't erase a long stale acting career. The more I look at these young actresses who could have been great, the more I realize that a couple are just satisfied with being average and making a lot of money.

Ally Sheedy was a classic 1980s teen comedy actress. I was afraid that she was going to fall off the face of the Earth when "her time was up," but she's really done well for herself in this business. You really believe that she got into acting because she loves it for what it is. You'll never see her in any tabloids and you won't hear any gossip about her. In her roles, you sense more realism than many other actor's who are considered more talented than she. Of all of her roles in all of her movies, my favorite has to be "The Breakfast Club."

Molly Ringwald is one of my all time favorites. She is really good in acting. I love all of her movies. My favoite movie that she ever filmed is 'Pretty In Pink', that is a great movie. I watch that movie as much as I watched the movie 'Can't Buy Me Love'. My other favorite movie of her is 'The Breakfast Club', I watched that one as much as I watched Pretty In Pink.
