Happy 45th birthday Molly Ringwald

We’re both married these days so there’s still no chance of us getting together as I had hoped when I was finishing up high school. Her red hair probably explained why I used to date Stephanie briefly. Several flaws in that theory. Stephanie dyed it red, it wasn’t the correct shade and by late 1987, I was pretty over Molly…The Pickup Artist, For Keeps? and Fresh Horses cured me. My tastes had changed anyway.

I prefer being married to Somara too. I can’t speak French fluently enough and I’m confident Molly is accustomed to a lifestyle level I couldn’t provide.

In preparation for her birthday I did recently watch Not Another Teen Movie; if you can endure this mediocre parody of She’s All That/Can’t Hardly Wait/American Pie to the end, Molly makes a significant and clever cameo. I’m not wasting the electrons posting my viewing of it, especially with how behind I am. It was good to see Molly, the late Paul Gleason (he died a few years ago) and an uncredited Melissa Joan Hart.
