Judd Nelson: Last News

Molly Ringwald, star of 1980s hit The Breakfast Club, has revealed she only rewatched the movie recently, and was jarred by some of the themes that were glossed over at the time.

The Breakfast Club actor Molly Ringwald has said the film hasn’t “aged well” in a new interview.The cult classic from director John Hughs turns 40 next year and in a new interview with The Times, Ringwald, who appeared in the film as character Claire alongside Emilio Estevez, Anthony Michael Hall, Judd Nelson and Ally Sheedy, said some elements of the film “haven’t aged well”.“I don’t enjoy watching myself on screen. I only rewatched The Breakfast Club, which came out in 1985, because [my daughter] Mathilda wanted to see it with me,” she said in the interview.“There is a lot that I really love about the movie but there are elements that haven’t aged well – like Judd Nelson’s character, John Bender, who essentially sexually harasses my character.”Bender and Claire share a kiss towards the end of the film, but Bender repeatedly asks Claire about her virginity as well as looking up her skirt at another moment.“I’m glad we’re able to look at that and say things are truly different now,” she added, talking about the scene in a post #MeToo context.Cast member Ally Sheedy has also spoken out about elements in the film before, saying that she “never liked” the scene where her character gets a makeover to make her more attractive.Speaking to The Independent in 2020, Sheedy said: “Listen, it was Hollywood in the Eighties.

A 1985 New York Magazine article that first termed the phrase Brat Pack rocked the world of Andrew McCarthy and his co-stars of St. Elmo’s Fire — so much that each of the actors went years, even decades, without talking to each other. As McCarthy says, “actors want to be free of that baggage.”

Andrew McCarthy recalled his rise to stardom as one of the members of the Brat Pack. During the ‘80s, the actor was a reluctant member of the Brat Pack – which consisted of a group of young idols such as Molly Ringwald, Judd Nelson, Demi Moore and Rob Lowe – who dominated Hollywood. McCarthy, 60, reflected on how the term had a negative impact initially, but he learned to embrace it later in his career.

I mean, I’m very liberal, but she’s another level,” Ringwald told The Guardian.

Anthony 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.
