Anthony Michael Hall turned 55 on Friday. The actor first rose to fame as a member of the Brat Pack in the 1980s. Here is what members of the group have said through the years.
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. Elmo's Fire,""The Breakfast Club,""About Last Night…,""Sixteen Candles" and"Pretty in Pink."
Like McCarthy, many of the Brat Pack members have spoken out about what it was like to be in the group, which elevated them to a level of stardom that some of them admit they weren't necessarily prepared for. Here's a look at where the Brat Pack members are now and what they've said about the group over the years. Anthony Michael Hall was not ready for the level of fame being in the Brat Pack brought to him.
Rob Lowe starred in his fair share of Brat Pack movies, cementing his place as a '80s superstar. He starred as Sodapop in"The Outsiders," Franklin in"Class," Nick in"Oxford Blues," Billy in"St. Elmo's Fire" and Danny in"About Last Night…" Lowe wrote in his memoir that the camaraderie between the actors on set was real when making"St. Elmo's Fire."
Ally Sheedy has starred in the most Brat Pack movies over the years with a total of five, alongside Lowe and Molly Ringwald. She played Rona in"Oxford Blues," Allison in"The Breakfast Club," Leslie in"St. Elmo's Fire," Annie in"Blue City" and Connie in"Betsy's Wedding." While on the"Behind the Velvet Rope Podcast," Sheedy called being considered part of the Brat Pack"awful," saying she could feel things around her change after"such a flippant title" was placed on them.
"After 'The Breakfast Club,' I got to do a whole bunch of things," she told Fox News Digital in 2016."Then there was a period of time ‘the Brat Pack’ thing became a backlash. It felt derogatory – these kids had too much too quickly. There was a dip in my career. When you’re working this long, things go in cycles. I wanted to become Debra Winger.
Sheedy and Molly Ringwald have remained close friends since starring together on"The Breakfast Club" in 1985. While he may not be super fond of the term, the actor undoubtedly is a well-established member of the group, having appeared in four movies considered Brat Pack films, including"The Outsiders," in which he played Keith,"The Breakfast Club," in which he played Andrew,"St. Elmo's Fire," in which he played Kirby, and"Wisdom," in which he played John.
Years later, Nelson also said that the insinuation they hung out all the time and were the best of friends wasn't necessarily the case. Molly Ringwald was considered to be director John Hughes' muse back in the '80s, starring in three of his biggest hits, playing Samantha in"Sixteen Candles," Claire, also known as the princess, in"The Breakfast Club," and Andie in"Pretty In Pink," all of which are considered Brat Pack movies.From 2008 to 2013, Ringwald starred as Shailene Woodley's mom in Freeform's"The Secret Life of An American Teenager.
She once told the Orlando Sentinel that other members of the Brat Pack would poke fun at their relationship, especially when she was filming"About Last Night…" in which she had love scenes with Rob Lowe. Most recently, Moore has starred in the movies,"Please Baby Please" and"The Incredible Weight of Massive Talent," alongside Nicolas Cage, and is set to make an appearance on an episode of Ryan Murphy's anthology series"Feud."Andrew McCarthy was not prepared for the instant fame that came with being in the Brat Pack.
