Molly Ringwald – Betsy’s Wedding Over Pretty Woman

Best known as one of the 1980s most beloved actresses thanks to playing the character of the ‘popular girl’ with parts in Sixteen Candles, The Breakfast Club, and Pretty in Pink, Molly Ringwald’s winning streak ended when she was reluctant to star in Pretty Woman due to moral reasons.
