Molly Ringwald On The Origins Of The "Brat Pack” | Late Night with Conan O’Brien

[@ComicalRealm]

[@Sweetish_Jeff_]

She came back a year later to promote “Townies” an NBC sitcom. Molly is indeed gorgeous then and even more so now, but a truly genuine person. This makes her even more beautiful IMHO.

[@hemmojito]

She's truthfully answering the questions. Remember that time when the guests didn't just play an upbeat über version of themselves.

[@opaljk4835]

People were often complaining about how phony talk shows were at this point too. It’s always been the same

[@hemmojito]

@@opaljk4835 fair enough. Maybe single people are exceptions in all timezones.

[@opaljk4835]

@@hemmojito agreed. Conan especially was always an exception to every rule. I’m Not saying that there aren’t a ton of horrible talk shows now, but they are fascinating in how much effort they take to put on every day for me. But back then there was Dave and Conan and even though they were both pretty subversive they were still commercially viable. So even though I think shows like Jay Leno and eventually Jimmy Fallon and Colbert are pander fests, they all have some good points here and there and but have to appease the people who pay for and watch their shows.

[@hemmojito]

@@opaljk4835 yup ... the name of the game... But every now and then there are also special guests and history is made you know what I'm saying? Magnets meeting.😄

love these old clips

[@Danimal77]

To the younger people on her who don't know who she is. Look her up. She was BIG in the mid-80's (Sixteen Candles, The Breakfast Club, Pretty in Pink). This Conan clip is about 10 years removed from her prime.

[@sicfxmusic]

One more BIG one ruined by plastic surgery

[@siddharthnaagar7028]

i read somewhere that John Hughes was very adamant in getting Jodie Foster to play Claire in The Breakfast Club but foster has in Yale at the time & wasn't interested in doing teen films but it would had been great to see Jodie in the breakfast club

[@Stefanio64]

Nope

[@BobothePirate24]

Who knew drugs weren't good for you?

[@EastSide-qc5oy]

I read she auditioned. I think she would have been a difficult sell to the audience because she was already famous and people knew she was older and had been at Yale and was well past her high school years.

[@aliali-ce3yf]

seems like conan has a crush

[@jedijones]

She could've still been playing teenagers in the '90s, but I guess it would've been weird since people knew she was a teenager 10 years before. The problem is, she looked too baby-faced to play young adult parts.
