'The Breakfast Club:' Where are they now?


When five teens from totally different cliques at Shermer High School were given Saturday detention, they never thought they'd have so much in common. But watching Molly Ringwald, Emilio Estevez, Ally Sheedy, Judd Nelson and Anthony Michael Hall bond in 1985's "The Breakfast Club" was downright memorable. Since the film celebrated its 30th anniversary on Feb. 15 and is being screened in theaters across the nation between March 26-31, let's take a look at where the Brat Pack cast is today.


'The Breakfast Club:' Where are they now?


Molly Ringwald played the pretty girl princess type Claire Standish in "The Breakfast Club."


Between the success of 1984's "Sixteen Candles," "The Breakfast Club" and then 1986's "Pretty in Pink", director John Hughes helped to make Molly Ringwald one of the hottest teen stars. In her adult years she went on to star in films like 1994's "The Stand" and had a stint on the ABC Family TV series "The Secret Life of the American Teenager" before releasing an album in 2013. The once divorced actress is currently married to Panio Gianopoulos, with whom she has three kiddos.
