If you were one of pitchfork-wielders in the angry mob breathlessly awaiting a mea culpa from Molly Ringwald for starring in teen movies that were too "white" for modern audiences, well, this was your lucky week.

The Breakfast Club marked the second of Ringwald’s collaborations with Hughes. She also worked with the director on Sixteen Candles (1984) and Pretty in Pink (1986). Despite her modern-day struggles with the film, she still noted that “they were all really fun movies to make” in her interview with The Times.
