Brat Pack actress Demi Moore turns 50

Molly Ringwald made us cry ("Pretty in Pink"), laugh ("Sixteen Candles"), and want to be as popular as her ("The Breakfast Club") with a trifecta of teen hits in the '80s. But after those movies, the redheaded actress never quite regained her star status. In 1994, she starred with fellow Brat Packer Rob Lowe in the Stephen King miniseries "The Stand," and she currently plays the mom of a teenage girl with a baby of her own in ABC Family's "The Secret Life of the American Teenager." Off screen, Ringwald lived in Paris for a while, and has now settled down with hubby of five years Panio Gianopoulous, their three kids, and ... a laptop. The 44-year-old authored the 2010 non-fiction book, Getting the Pretty Back, and this year's fictional When It Happens to You: A Novel in Stories. She often revisits her days as a teen queen in interviews, where she caused a controversy by claiming "Pretty in Pink's" Duckie was gay (gasp!), and in cameos like the one she made in the 2001 spoof "Not Another Teen Movie." less
