Her Career Wasn’t Deterred
Molly Ringwald later became the star of such John Hughes movies as “Sixteen Candles” and “The Breakfast Club,” which was released when the actress was just 16 years old. She later called her experience on “The Facts of Life,” “hard and humiliating,” but thankfully, that didn’t stop her career dead in its tracks! And other co-stars of the series had similar luck after they left the show, too.
