Golden Globe-nominated actress and singer Molly Ringwald first took Hollywood by storm as a teenage sensation, earning a Golden Globe nomination for New Star of the Year Award for her performance in the comedy-drama Tempest in 1982. In the subsequent years, she appeared in hit movies like Sixteen Candles (1984), The Breakfast Club (1985) and Pretty in Pink (1986), thereby underlining her credentials as the biggest teen icon of the era.

In the 1990s, the actress moved to Paris and shifted her focus to French cinema, with occasional appearances in American cinema coming in movies like Malicious (1995), Office Killer (1997) and Teaching Mrs. Tingle (1999). During this era, she also appeared in the horror miniseries The Stand (1994) and the short-lived sitcom Townies (1996). After a hiatus, Ringwald made a strong comeback through the teen drama tv series The Secret Life of the American Teenager (2008-`13), where she essayed the role of Anne Juergens. Notable acting credits in recent times include the romantic comedy The Kissing Booth (2018), the teen drama series Riverdale (2017-) and the crime thriller Siberia (2018).
