If you’re a fan of 1980s teen movies, you’re probably familiar with Molly Ringwald.
These classic teen movies of the 1980s went on to inspire future generations of filmmakers.
Ringwald, now in her mid-50s, has found success that expands far beyond her status as teen queen.

She’s made a name for herself as a singer, best-selling author, and even an audiobook narrator.
The story explores addiction, prejudice, and consequence.
Despite their obvious faults, John Hughes' movies of the 1980s also attempted to highlight complex female leads.

Attenberg’s “The Middlesteins” was recorded in 2012 by Hatchett audio and is available to borrow onAudible.
She lends her voice to the story, bringing Edie and the Middlestein family to life.
She also lended her vocal talents to the show’s official theme song.

However, her time in the spotlight didn’t prepare her for the challenges of real-life high schoolers.
When she’s not narrating audiobooks, TV parenting, or actual parenting, actress Ringwald is writing.
