“Molly Ringwald Explains Why She’s ‘Troubled’ by ‘The Breakfast Club’ Three Decades Later”

Gee. Could it be she’s a HAS-BEEN and wants a little attention?

Oy! These Hollywood people and their EGOS!

Actually she move to London, the murder capital of the world, to perform on stage there. She has had a good stage career in London. She just didn’t chose the Hollywood life.

Might not just be ego. In that business, attention can equal money. I've been noticing over the last few years the reemergence of a lot of older actors whom we haven't heard from in years. Jean Claude Van Damme has been more prominent lately, and I was stunned to see Jerry Lewis appearing in a movie for the first time in decades.

They are remaking "Karate Kid" with Ralph Macchio and Billy Zabka.

And of course the various iterations of "the expendables" has had all sorts of old actors (Dolph Lundgren, et al) showing up in the public consciousness again.

There are others, but I don't remember exactly who, I just noted at the time that I hadn't seen anything from them in a very long time, and suddenly they are back making movies.

I'm wondering if Molly has a money problem (ala Nicholas Cage) and wants to attract attention because she's hoping for some acting work?

Or it could just be ego. :)

And with that nugget, you are exactly correct.

I had the misfortune of seeing Ms. Ringwald in an off-broadway play some years ago. She was a mediocre dancer who didn't have the skill or conditioning to perform, didn't have the stage presence and no voice for the singing.

She was cute enough back in the day but has matured into an average woman with below average skills for a high-expertise profession.
