Produced by ABC News Studios, Brats was written and directed by McCarthy. The doc will track the Brat Pack’s origins, history, and impact from the early ’80s to today, and detail the experiences of actors and filmmakers working on The Breakfast Club, St. Elmo’s Fire, and more.

Throughout every actor’s career, some of their works simply get forgotten especially if the actor has been around the block for some time. While she is widely recognized for her iconic roles in films like The Breakfast Club and War Games, a trove of lesser-known movies in her filmography exists that few people seem to remember. From independent dramas to offbeat comedies, Sheedy has embraced diverse roles putting her talents to good use. Ally Sheedy‘s career began to flourish in the 1980s, when she rose to prominence as one of the Brat Pack—the group of young actors and actresses who...

‘Single Drunk Female’: Ally Sheedy Talks Molly Ringwald Reunion & Carol Changing in Season 2 (Video)
Carol is “the one who has to change this season,” according to Single Drunk Female star Ally Sheedy. Season 2 of the Freeform series (all episodes are already streaming on Hulu) sees Sam (Sofia Black-d’Elia) continuing to figure out her life, which directly affects Sheedy’s character, she told us when she stopped by TV Insider. “Carol has to completely readjust her relationship with Samantha because Samantha is no longer the messy drunk and is actually a functioning person in the world,” Sheedy explained. “But Carol doesn’t know Sam in that way and is very controlling.” As a result, she “pretty much blows their entire relationship up.” Therefore it’s up to Carol to piece their relationship back together, but a major problem is she “hasn’t moved off her emotionally stunted position from Season 1.” While Season 2 might be filled with contentious scenes onscreen for Sheedy, off-screen is a much different story.

Busy Philipps brought a special date to the "Single Drunk Female" season two premiere: her eldest child, Birdie Leigh Silverstein. The actor and her 14-year-old mini-me hit the red carpet together at New York City's Midnight Theatre on April 11 and looked like two peas in a pod while posing for the cameras. Philipps, a new cast addition for the Freeform series, wore a black maxi dress and white blazer, while Birdie wore an orange satin slip dress and flats and later borrowed their mom's blazer.
