When Howard Deutch took on the task of directing “Pretty in Pink” he instantly knew which actress should star in the film.
At the time, Paramount wanted Jennifer Beals, who had just starred in "Flashdance" for the studio to take on the role, Variety reported on Tuesday. However, Deutch and writer John Hughes had their sights set on Molly Ringwald. "Paramount wanted me to meet all kinds of actresses," said Deutch, 70. "But it was written for Molly. I loved her work."More Related News
