...Ringwald in particular combines cinematic charisma and unaffected behavior, as Goodgame discovered when she drove him to his car from a photo session at the beach. She became so involved in talking and listening to the music thumping from her tape deck that she was soon doing 60 m.p.h. in a 35-m.p.h. zone. "A motorcycle policeman pulled her over," says Goodgame, "and I anticipated an Oscar-winning performance." But instead of blandishing smiles, Ringwald soberly admitted speeding and took her citation. "As she wheeled back into the traffic," Goodgame says, "I asked why she made no appeal. 'Because...
...radiant Molly Ringwald is not the only such coming attraction. Ally Sheedy, who plays the sulky flake to Molly's good girl in The Breakfast Club, is one of a lively and sometimes dazzling handful of others. Sheedy is 23 now, and the leggy, earnest, puppy-cute teenager of WarGames shows up less frequently in her movements than it used to.

...girl groupies. They pay tribute by dyeing their hair orange (as she does, from her natural dark reddish brown), smearing lipstick from nose to chin and dressing in Molly's unique designer-junk shop couture. Her normality makes her something more resonant than this month's Madonna. Molly Ringwald is both hip enough to be the style setter of Right Now and traditional enough to be any American teen of the past 50 years...
...Walsh has it tough. At her mid-'80s high school, the setting for Pretty in Pink, the rich kids cut the unrich with cold shoulders and easy slurs. It is the Sharks vs. the Jets all over again; this time the weapons are not switchblades but attitude. Andie (Molly Ringwald) is a "poor girl" pursued by a freaky-geeky boy pal, whose devotion drives her bats, and in love with a rich boy who may not be strong enough to declare his finer feelings and risk his friends' derision. So who comforts Andie? Why, her dear dilapidated...
