"I think that those stereotypes around kids that have money and kids that don't have money were so real, they still are. And I do remember feeling a certain kinship," she says.

Molly Ringwald cemented her place in film history as THE face of '80s teen classics — The Breakfast Club, Sixteen Candles, and Pretty In Pink — movies still referenced and celebrated today for their expert portrayals of adolescence in all its brilliant minutiae.
