What is it about the Brat Pack and writing? Ally Sheedy, 50, who played the eccentric Allison in "The Breakfast Club" and perfect Leslie in "St. Elmo's Fire," authored a children's book before her '80s heyday and then a book of poems, Yesterday I Saw the Sun, in 1991. Sheedy, who struggled with bulimia and a drug addiction after her Brat Pack days, has an acting resume that's mostly filled with TV guest spots, indie movies, and off-Broadway plays, as well as flicks like "Short Circuit" and "Only the Lonely." When asked if she still keeps in touch with her fellow Brat Packers, the divorced mom of one said yes. "The person I've been in regular touch with is Judd," Sheedy revealed to More in 2009. "Everybody else gets kind of scattered. Our paths will cross and it’s funny, I share something with them that's unique. It's actually kind of like having been in high school, and there were people you were really close to and then you’re not – except when you see them again, and then it’s like no time has passed." less
