Molly Ringwald has given her blessing for the "15 Candles" (based on her classic 80s movie "16 Candles") TV show being developed by Selena Gomez.

Molly would like one of her daughters (18 and 12 years old) to play the role of Samantha. Her 12 year old daughter would be interesting since Molly says that she is woke (just like Molly Parker) and very political and questions her mother's involvement in the John Hughes movies. Molly has also said she doesn't want her kids to act until they are 18 years old because of her experience on Facts of Life.

I feel like there are few/no real issues with Pretty in Pink. In retrospect, Sixteen Candles is horrifying. I can see why she wouldn't want to watch that one with Adele. The Breakfast Club is somewhere in between.

Watching Sixteen Candles with Adele (the daughter) would be like watching Sixteen Candles with Molly Parker. "Mom, that movie is so anti-woman. How could you do that? Did John Hughes work you like a galley slave?"

I love this phrasing. It escalates Molly to a higher power level of a grand deity, like a hailed goddess! (er, "godperson"!)
