One of the most famous stars of the 80's was actress Molly Ringwald.  Born on February 18, 1968 in Roseville California Molly became a star at a very young age.  She played the dormouse in a stage production of "Alice in Wonderland," and also came out with her very own album by the age of six, called "I Wanna Be Loved By You, Molly Sings."  She also got a place on television by being part of the "New Mickey Mouse Club" when she was eight.

From then on Ringwald got parts in many blockbusters.  Her first big break was "Annie" when she was 10 years old.  One of the biggest movies that Molly Ringwald starred in was John Hughes "Sixteen Candles" in 1984 where she played a girl who turns sixteen and her parents forget her birthday, and the guy she has a crush on doesn't even think she exists.  Her success continued the following year with the 1985 movie "The Breakfast Club, and "Pretty in Pink" in 1986.  From then on her movies did not seem to do as well.  It seemed people did not want to see her in mature roles.  In the 90's, some of the movies she starred in were "Strike It Rich" in 1990, and "Face the Music" in 1993.

In 1996 Molly Ringwald decided to star in a TV sitcom called "Townies."  The sitcom seemed to do well, but unfortunately got cancelled shortly after that.  Since then Ringwald has appeared in many movies, and TV shows but none have been as successful as the movies from the mid 80's.

In 1999, Ringwald married Valery Lameignere, whom she had been seeing for a while.  She still continues her acting career and made a cameo appearance in the comedy  "Not Another Teen Movie," which came out in 2001.  Also in 2001 she starred in the Broadway musical "Cabaret," which did quite well.  In 2002, Ringwald starred in the TV series "The Big Time" which also stars Christopher Lloyd.

Most recently, Ringwald had filed for divorce in November of 2002 from her husband Valery who she had been living with in Bordeaux, France.
