JLOC 2019 Speaker in the City, Molly Ringwald

Molly Ringwald is coming to OKC to share her experience of being an iconic child star of some of our favorite movies like, The Breakfast Club, Sixteen Candles, Pretty in Pink, and how she transitioned into a strong female actress, author, and jazz singer today.

“Everybody has a voice. Not everybody feels comfortable using it and not everybody is taken as seriously as they ought to be but I feel like women are feeling a lot more empowered now.” – Molly Ringwald

Ringwald became a cultural icon for her roles in the John Hughes directed cult classics Sixteen CandlesThe Breakfast Club and Pretty in Pink. Her credits since have grown in both number and genre. Ringwald commanded the stage in Paula Vogel’s Pulitzer Prize winning production, How I learned to Drive and in 2013 released the jazz album, Except Sometimes. Most recently, she has starred in Netflix’s film, The Kissing Booth and can be seen on Riverdale.
