Molly Ringwald revealed she was 'taken advantage of' during her early career in Hollywood. Ringwald, 56, explained she found herself in 'questionable situations' despite not 'going out to clubs' in her teen years. 'I never really felt like I was part of a community when I was in Hollywood, just because I was so young, really,' Ringwald said during an appearance on the 'WTF with Marc Maron' podcast. 'I wasn't into going out to clubs.
Oh, I was taken advantage of,' the 'Pretty in Pink' star explained. 'You can't be a young actress in Hollywood and not have predators around.' Ringwald used her 'incredible survival instinct and a pretty big superego' to 'figure out a way to protect' herself when she was in 'questionable situations.' However, the actress explained she tried to 'convince' her daughter not to go into acting to avoid the same fate.
Years after playing characters such as Clarie Standish in 'The Breakfast Club' and Samantha in 'Sixteen Candles,' Ringwald feels 'differently' about the '80s era movies. 'When I made those movies with John Hughes, his intention was to not make ‘Porky’s’ or ‘Animal House,’' Ringwald previously told NPR.
