Born on Feb 18, 1968 in Roseville, California, USA. Reportedly 5' 8".

Even at the peak of her popularity, I had always found red-headed brat-packer Molly Ringwald to be one of the most irritating, WASPy, asexual icons the 80s had to offer. To see her in film, I felt, was to begin to know why Americans are always getting murdered or taken hostage in foreign countries. After Pretty in Pink I was ready to go volunteer for the Ayatollah and start picking off Americans myself.

Fortunately, Molly's flight to lasting stardom was halted when it dropped off the mainstream radar in 1988. Years later, like 40+ year old actresses trying to jumpstart their careers by posing in Playboy, Molly appeared topless in Malicious, a straight-to-video Fatal Attraction ripoff targeted at the 20-something demographic. Say what you will about the movie, but it did change my whole perspective on her: instead of wanting to smack her off the screen as before, I now find that I can put up with her in small doses as long as she's naked. Which is why she's on this site, and why, except for a token few, the only pictures here are from Malicious. Those seeking other, non-Malicious pictures (or non-malicious commentary) can find them at the sites listed below.
