But she is also candid about her experience both as a child star and as a woman going through the aging process in the spotlight. Also appearing in The Secret Life of the American Teenager, Ringwald reflected on the way her image as a child actor always seems to color the way people perceive her. To this day, she is open about her experience going from child star to adult icon / zz/gotpap/starmaxinc.com STAR MAX Copyright 2018 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED "How is this possible, you know?" she mused in an interview with Mo Rocca of CBS News. "Everyone else can turn 40. I'm Molly Ringwald. I'm so associated with being young and being with a teenager." To act out typical teen hangups in front of a camera and then experience them herself firsthand was "pretty odd," according to Ringwald. Fortunately, she always had parents who were in her corner, not thinking only of themselves. Ringwald shared, "I didn't have parents who were, you know, racing to get a reality television show, you know? Or looking to benefit in some way from their daughter's fame." They focused on letting her feel proud of herself while keeping things real - and that has served her into the present day.
