Molly Ringwald, a key member of the 1980s Brat Pack, expressed her concerns about the term labeling them, deeming it a pejorative that oversimplifies their work. During a reunion for 'The Breakfast Club,' she reflected on how the label has lingered in their careers, affecting perceptions of their evolution as artists. While some, like Rob Lowe and Jon Cryer, have successfully transformed their careers, many former co-stars share Ringwald's complicated feelings about the label's legacy. The recent Hulu documentary 'Brats' explores these sentiments among her fellow actors, indicating the diverse experiences within the group.
Being dubbed a member of the Brat Pack didn't necessarily end peoples' careers: Lowe has become a television mainstay in the past few decades as both a series star and game show host.
Ringwald called the Brat Pack term 'a pejorative,' one that proved hard for those actors to escape over the years since New York Magazine writer David Blum coined it.
