Before Molly Ringwald was misbehaving in The Breakfast Club, she was singing Ain’t Misbehaving in Tempest. How cute was the 13-year-old in that 1982 movie?
Back in 1983, 8 virtual unknowns starred in a little movie called The Outsiders and all of their acting careers and lives changed forever. Today if you say Ponyboy to someone, they will immediately picture C Thomas Howell in their heads. But there was someone else who screened for the role.
Yesterday on The Librarians, John Laroquette wore a jean vest and his co-star Rebecca Romijn revealed that this was not the first time he wore it on camera. He wore it 35 years ago to audition for the cult classic, and as we know he did not get the role.
Which makes you wonder what would have happened to the two actors had the role gone to the Laroquette. Does that mean Dan Fielding would have played the Soul Man and the Soul Man would have gone to play Dan Fielding in Night Court. Imagine how different their careers would have been? I am glad it turned out the way it did because their roles are perfect just the way they are.
When you think of Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, you think of Chicago because it is a leading character in the movie. Was the whole movie filmed there? That was something that Gina Rodriguez wanted to know since she is from the windy city, so she asked him yesterday when they were both on The Late Late Show with James Corden. What did he tell her? The exteriors were shot in Illinois, but the interiors were filmed in…Los Angeles. Dang that Hollywood trickery.
Before Judd Nelson would do anything to get out of school in The Breakfast Club, he was paid $10,000 to go to high school for someone else in Making the Grade. How hysterical was the 24-year-old in this 1984 unearthed gem?

Before Anthony Michael Hall was part of the Griswold family in Vacation, he was an orphan in Six Pack. How cute was the 13 year old in that 1982 movie?
