Molly Ringwald Felt Limited by ‘Brat Pack’ Label, But ‘The Bear’ and ‘Feud’ Roles Excite Her for What’s Next
Molly Ringwald, Variety's Creative Vanguard Award winner, says roles in 'The Bear' and 'Feud' have her excited for what's next in her career.
But Ringwald was bringing that complexity to the screen from her first role in Paul Mazursky’s “Tempest,” and the fact that she’s continued to do so throughout her career is why she’s set to receive the Variety Creative Vanguard Award at the Miami Film Festival on April 6. While working to shed the reputation of early commercial highs, smaller roles in projects like Billy Bob Thornton’s 1994 short film, “Some Folks Call It a Sling Blade,” and more recently, Christopher Storer’s acclaimed FX series “The Bear,” have reminded Ringwald why she started performing in the first place.
