Anthony Michael Hall turns 55: Brat Pack members then and now
foxnews.comAnthony Michael Hall, star of "Weird Science" and "Halloween Kills," turned 55 on Friday. Hall rose to fame as a member of the infamous Brat Pack, a group of young actors who frequently appeared in movies together throughout the 1980s, including "St.
