Molly Ringwald is turning 49 today. She began her screen career in a guest spot on Diff’rent Strokes which led to her playing the same character on the first season of the spinoff series Facts of Life. She then appeared in Tempest, Paul Mazursky’s update of Shakespeare’s play The Tempest, and in the sci-fi film Spacehunter. And then a first-time director named John Hughes cast her as a teenage girl who learns that her family has forgotten about her 16th birthday:

After the success of Sixteen Candles, Ringwald starred in two more successful films written by Hughes, as rich girl Claire Standish in The Breakfast Club, and as “girl from the wrong side of the tracks” Andie Walsh in Pretty in Pink. When people think of her today, they probably think of one or more of that trilogy. Her WTHH article (https://lebeauleblog.com/2013/01/20/what-the-hell-happened-to-molly-ringwald/) tells you about what came next, which included feature films, TV guest roles, a number of stage roles (including playing Sally Bowles in Cabaret on Broadway), and a regular part in The Secret Life of the American Teenager. This Movieline article (https://lebeauleblog.com/2016/09/13/molly-ringwald-sixteen-candles-in-the-wind/) is also worth a look. She currently is seen on The CW’s Riverdale.
