Hello there . I was just looking at some recent of actress Molly Ringwald .
Its hard to believe she just turned 40 .
Ageing gracefully is what i can be say for Molly . Considering the Breakfast Club Movie was nearly 25 years ago . Well done Molly .

Benigna Marko is trully a movie buff. Benigna Marko enjoys those movies that make you laugh, giggle, cry and laugh some more. Benigna Marko always says that a good commedy is like a bolt of energy and joy. Benigna Marko loves watching Molly's movies as she has some sort of twisted commedy in the overall movie. Have to say one thing, Molly is stunning and beautiful.

Benigna Marko Wed, Dec 10, 2008 at 09:19 PM EST

She is simply beautiful. Benigna Marko is a fan of Molly and enjoys her films. Can't go wrong with such a pretty persona. Inside and out. Benigna Marko enjoys all that glows.

Benigna Marko Tue, Dec 9, 2008 at 07:09 PM EST

Ms. Tingle was great. Thank you for coming back to show biz. You are special and still love watching the old stuff. Specially 16 candles and pretty in pink. Benigna Marko finds Molly as a pretty girl. Benigna Marko had recently conversed with a friend about Molly and wham there she is back on TV. Benigna Marko was happy to see Molly back. good luck girl and welcome back. Benigna Marko

Sara W Wed, Aug 6, 2008 at 04:08 AM EST

I really miss Molly Ringwald. I was so happy to see her again in Teaching Mrs. Tingle. I love her movies Sixteen Candles, Pretty in Pink, and Breakfast Club. I hope to see her in future films. She is too talented an actress not to be seen. She is missed so much by many people. Molly come back, we miss you.

Eric Fri, Aug 1, 2008 at 09:47 PM EST

You still got it babe! Just say the word and I'll leave my wife for ya!

Benigna Marko Sun, Jul 27, 2008 at 09:29 PM EST

Yes, Benigna Marko is extatic that Molly is having a new TV show on the air. It is as though the actor knew that she was missed. Great news for Benigna Marko who has long followed the actress. Will certainly tune in and know it will be exciting.

Benigna Marko Mon, Jul 7, 2008 at 01:46 PM EST

Most certainly Molly is making a come back. Congrats girl.

Benigna Marko Sun, Jul 6, 2008 at 09:30 PM EST

Wow, new movie and new tv show. S Benigna Marko so excited for you to share your talent with the world.

Wow... I feel good... I'm only turning 39 this Thursday!!!!!!!!!!!

shelly Fri, May 23, 2008 at 11:29 PM EST

If you think Gen X is bad imagine falling into Gen Y. Not only did they not come up with a cool generation, but no one even knows there is a Gen y. Whatever!!

Shelly Fri, May 23, 2008 at 11:25 PM EST

The Brat Pack Reunited hitting 40 and reminiscing. It would be a BLOCKBUSTER!! I'd pay $10 a ticket to see it. BUt only if ROb Lowe is in it!!

Benigna Marko Mon, May 12, 2008 at 11:43 AM EST

Wow, even today, I still enjoy watching Molly's old flicks. Wish she did something new, I always loved her smart innocent rolls. I am sure she would have much success.

Bobo Fri, Apr 25, 2008 at 10:39 PM EST

Hubba, hubba, hubba. What a doll. I will always remember Molly. And she has aged very gracefully.

Thomas Heringer Sun, Apr 20, 2008 at 10:00 PM EST

40 you say, my how the years have gone. My wife and myself met Molly Ringwald once in Sacramento when she sang at the Jazz Festival once years ago. Very nice person and friendly too.

Nematode Girl (Heather) Thu, Feb 21, 2008 at 09:07 AM EST

Still pretty in pink.
Molly a bright memory
Gracing the airwaves.

Eric Friedmann Tue, Feb 19, 2008 at 01:58 PM EST

I'm 40 myself, and the only thing that has made me feel old is Hollywood's pathetic remakes of 1970's movies!

Jelana Tue, Feb 19, 2008 at 01:23 PM EST

Jennifer: don't feel bad. My teen years were in the eighties, and every picture of me in my late teens and early twenties had me in shapeless clothes with big shoulders, giant hair and scary make-up. And this is when I was young enough to look good underneath all that crap. Now that I'm almost 40 everything is form fitting and sexy. Life sucks.

Molly but not Ringwald Tue, Feb 19, 2008 at 01:17 PM EST

Kind of a scary Molly picture...those eyes!

dom Tue, Feb 19, 2008 at 12:55 PM EST

She got rich off those movies and moved to Paris, that's why she disappeared for so long. Once you're out of the limelight, it's hard to get it back, but I'd go see any movie she was in.

Jennifer Tue, Feb 19, 2008 at 12:22 PM EST

I always wished I was a teenager during the 80's. I came of age in the 90's(break yourself fool). My sister was in highschool during the time Molly's movies came out and she would always have to drag me along with her to the movies. My favorite Molly movie to this day is Sixteen Candles. The Breakfast Club is 2nd and then Pretty in Pink is 3rd. However, the best movie soundtrack title goes to Pretty In Pink. Oh by the way,James Spader totally stole the show in that movie!!

Stephanie T. Tue, Feb 19, 2008 at 11:51 AM EST

Ringwald was awesome when she did a cameo on Medium. I think that she should make a movie comeback. While no one can recreate the genius of the brat pack movies of the eighties, I am curious to see if Hughes can place Ringwald in a mother position with a daughter in a teen comedy. Today's teen comedies don't have the right mixture that Hughes whipped up.

Ep Sato Tue, Feb 19, 2008 at 11:03 AM EST

No comeback forty
townies was really awful
return to movies

IMHO, Ringwald's lack of post ratpack success I'd attribute to a lack of good career choices. Anthony Michael Hall's suffered through problems with the same lack of good decision making.

Friday Tue, Feb 19, 2008 at 10:34 AM EST

no worries...40 is the new 30! That is what I keep telling myself. Love Molly and I would love to see more of her. I'm proud to be a part of the Breakfast Club/16 Candles generation and look forward to watching these movies with my kids.

Al Tue, Feb 19, 2008 at 03:28 AM EST

Just watched 16 candles and breakfast club on tvland. It's always a pleasure to see these movies again. Wish I was there.

I don't know what she's up to now, but I hope she's happy and doing well.

Happy Birthday!

Alan Tue, Feb 19, 2008 at 01:58 AM EST

George Kennedy's still alive?!

As usual EW, you read my mind Mon, Feb 18, 2008 at 09:32 PM EST

As soon as I heard it was Molly Ringwald's 40th I thought, "oh my god, I feel old!"

Stephanie Mon, Feb 18, 2008 at 08:29 PM EST

Me and Molly are just one day apart in age. I've always felt a kinship because of that. Man - it's hard to believe we are 40!!! 16 Candles was my movie!!! Happy Birthday Molly (and me)!

Dave Mon, Feb 18, 2008 at 07:10 PM EST

Thank you for all the memories
U were a part of my life. Good luck, C U later.

Oye! "Sixteen Candles",

Watching it now as I type.

You were a cutie.

To Khrystyne Mon, Feb 18, 2008 at 06:10 PM EST

The only person I ever knew who spelled her name like this was Khrystyne Haje, the pretty redhead who acted in "Head of the Class." Coincidence??

Wolf Mon, Feb 18, 2008 at 05:41 PM EST

Molly come back! Teach the want-a-be`s
how to act,they need the help!

michael Mon, Feb 18, 2008 at 05:25 PM EST

I fell in love with (and reamin) Molly and red hair, freckles and perfectly pouty red lips from the first scence in 16 candles...I can't explainthe appeal, it just is. If you're a Molly fan, you KNOW what I am talking about! Love you Molly!

JT Mon, Feb 18, 2008 at 05:11 PM EST

greenwald, if that fashion show was a few years ago, it was my brothers. He made her wedding dress also. She may not have the main stream fame she once had but she still is practicing her art.

josher Mon, Feb 18, 2008 at 05:10 PM EST

Don't feel bad. The idols from my youth are now old enough to collect social security.

A green'wald' Mon, Feb 18, 2008 at 05:01 PM EST

Molly is exactly 1 month older than me!
I guess people will have to give us the 'f' word. 'F' for Forty, that is.
I don't feel old, I feel like life is just beginning.
I hope she does too.
She'll have a comeback.
She was featured in a fashion show as the finale and the audience roared in appreciation.
Happy B-day Molly...you take the good, you take the bad...the facts of life!

carson Mon, Feb 18, 2008 at 04:54 PM EST

Molly was not in St.Elmo's Fire!

Portia Mon, Feb 18, 2008 at 04:52 PM EST

To JoeC-Molly Ringwald wasn't in St. Elmos Fire...you weren't kidding when you said you never followed her movies..though I'm not sure how you missed her! Also, she began her career on TV in "The Facts of Life" and since leaving movies has had a successful career on Broadway.

bob Mon, Feb 18, 2008 at 04:13 PM EST

She may be 40, but I'd still do anything for her! I'll love Molly until the day I due!

Angela Mon, Feb 18, 2008 at 04:02 PM EST

Plaid is the new pink!
George Kennedy is not dead?
I am feeling old!

donner Mon, Feb 18, 2008 at 03:49 PM EST

I'm totally hot for Andrew McCarthy...but Molly Ringwald - I never got the appeal...Demi Moore was always more gorgeous, mysterious and interesting...maybe that's why she had the career that Molly didn't...

still, glad to see they are all still around...

JoeC Mon, Feb 18, 2008 at 03:07 PM EST

By the way, Gary, as someone who grew up in the 80's, I HATE THAT GENERATION X TAG!!!!!!!!!!!!! It is so annoying and stupid; I'd like to smash a pie in the mug of the author who inflicted it on us. Okay, I'm better now!

JoeC Mon, Feb 18, 2008 at 03:05 PM EST

Even though I grew up in the 80's, I never saw any of her movies with the exception of St. Elmos Fire. Perhaps she could try television?

Silv Mon, Feb 18, 2008 at 02:37 PM EST

Only in movies

Molly and I reach the big 40 in the same year. Wasn't I just 16 and dreaming of Jake Ryan?????

Kathleen Mon, Feb 18, 2008 at 01:55 PM EST

Molly is forty?
Well yanky my wanky. Teach
