The Brat Pack: A Group of Successful Teen Actors from the 1980s

The Brat Pack was a group of young actors who rose to fame in the 1980s, becoming household names through their roles in teen movies. The term was coined by David Blum in a New York Magazine article in 1985, referring to Emilio Estevez, Rob Lowe, Molly Ringwald, Anthony Michael Hall, Ally Sheedy, and Andrew McCarthy. These actors were known for their appearances together both on screen and off in films such as St. Elmo's Fire and The Breakfast Club.

Emilio Estevez was an unofficial leader of the Brat Pack after his role in The Breakfast Club. He went on to star in hit films like Young Guns before reprising his role as hockey coach Gordon Bombay in The Mighty Ducks franchise. In 2006, he directed Bobby which won a Hollywood Film Award.

Molly Ringwald, who was also part of the Brat Pack, began dating Emilio Estevez during the filming of Pretty in Pink. Jon Cryer wore a bolo tie to the premiere of Pretty in Pink in 1986.

Andrew McCarthy, another member of the Brat Pack, recently released a documentary titled Brats on Hulu which explores their experiences as teen actors during that time. However, Molly Ringwald and Judd Nelson did not participate in the documentary.

The term Brat Pack became synonymous with a group of successful teen actors from the 1980s who appeared together in films like The Breakfast Club and Pretty in Pink. These movies were coming-of-age dramas that resonated with audiences, petering out by the late 1980s as Disney introduced new franchises such as The Mighty Ducks.

Rob Lowe was born on March 17, 1964, and made his screen debut in the TV movie A Deadly Secret in 1980. He went on to star in films like St. Elmo's Fire and The Outsiders before appearing as a guest star on Parks and Recreation.

Anthony Michael Hall was born on April 20, 1968, and made his screen debut in the TV movie Dead of Night in 1983. He went on to star in films like The Breakfast Club and Sixteen Candles before appearing as a guest star on Modern Family.

Andrew McCarthy Addresses Molly Ringwald and Judd Nelson Not Being in His 'Brats' Documentary (Exclusive)

Entertainment Tonight Hope Sloop Thursday, 13 June 2024 05:26
  • Unique Points
    • Andrew McCarthy did not take it personally when Molly Ringwald and Judd Nelson declined to participate in his Hulu documentary, Brats.

    The author, Hope Sloop, does not use inflammatory rhetoric or commit formal or informal fallacies in the article. However, there are a couple of examples where dichotomous depictions can be found. Firstly, the term 'The Brat Pack' is used to describe a group of actors from the 1980s, which may oversimplify and essentialize their relationships and experiences. Secondly, McCarthy's comment on some people being at 'different places in their lives to want to or not want to talk about it' can be seen as a dichotomous depiction of the reasons for Ringwald and Nelson not participating in the documentary. Lastly, there is an example of an appeal to authority when McCarthy mentions that he has picked up more jobs behind the camera in recent years on shows like Orange Is the New Black and The Sinner as well as the feature-film documentary he is currently promoting.
    • . . . there's a lot of clips and interviews and things.
    • The Brat Pack is an ongoing relationship, you know what I mean?
    • I was surprised as many people would want to speak to me [that] did, you know, because I thought the biggest challenge would be to get people to participate.
    • We're getting ready for part two.
    • I think once was enough.
