Andrew McCarthy is a member of the Brat Pack. In the ’80s, it was a club the actors didn’t want to be part of. Now, 40 years later, they have a new outlook on the name they are given.
Andrew McCarthy traveled the country and talked to ex-costars and members about being a part of the group.
On June 17th, we will hear what they think in McCarthy’s documentary Brats on Hulu.
This weekend, McCarty and his St. Elmo’s Fire costars, Demi Moore and Ally Sheedy, and his Pretty in Pink’s nemesis, Jon Cryer, attended a screening of the doc at Tribeca.
That is McCarthy’s connection to the people standing next to him. Did you know that Moore and Cryer starred in No Small Affair and had one? Thirty years later, Cryer starred with Moore’s then-husband, Ashton Butcher, on Two and a Half Men.
Hollywood is a small town. Brat Pack is even smaller than that. As a fan of their movies, I can’t wait to see Brats next Monday.
Demi Moore attended the premiere of Feud: Capote Vs. The Swans tonight, and she wore a gown inspired by a swan.
The actress was gorgeous in the black and white floor-length Balmain dress with a slight slit in the back. And the slight slit was a problem. That is because her dress was so tight that she had to waddle her way down the red carpet like a duck. However, that didn’t stop the swan from making everyone look like an ugly duckling.
Seriously, the 61-year-old gets prettier and prettier with every year she is alive. And it is so not fair.
Before Demi Moore played a stripper in Striptease, she was a reporter on General Hospital. She looks the same now as she did when she was 19 in that 1982 episode.
Ryan Murphy is back with his biggest cast to date in FEUD: Capote Vs. The Swans.
Acclaimed writer Truman Capote (Tom Hollander) surrounded himself with a coterie of society’s most elite women – rich, glamorous socialites who defined a bygone era of high society New York – whom he nicknamed “the swans.” Beautiful and distinguished, the group included grande dame Barbara “Babe” Paley (Naomi Watts), Slim Keith (Diane Lane), C.Z. Guest (Chloë Sevigny) and Lee Radziwill (Calista Flockhart). Enchanted and captivated by these doyennes, Capote ingratiated himself into their lives, befriending them and becoming their confidante, only to ultimately betray them by writing a thinly veiled fictionalization of their lives, exposing their most intimate secrets. When an excerpt from the book, Answered Prayers, Capote’s planned magnum opus, was published in Esquire, it effectively destroyed his relationship with his swans, banished him from the high society he so loved and sent him into a spiral of self-destruction from which he would ultimately never recover.
I have a feeling the behind-the-scenes on this series were better than anything that the Swans could’ve dreamed of.
Feud debuts on January 31st on FX. Are you going to watch? I am watching just for the late Treat Williams.
Andrew McCarthy is working on a documentary about the Brat Pack, and that means he is reuniting with his old castmates like Rob Lowe from St. Elmo’s Fire and Jon Cryer from Pretty In Pink to talk about their good ole days.
Most recently, he caught up with Demi Moore. The woman he was obsessed with in St. Elmo’s Fire. And as obsessed as he was with her, we were with them.
Seeing how fantastic they look lights my St. Elmo’s Fire. Can you believe that they are both 60 because they don’t appear to be any older than they were in that 1985 movie?
McCarthy talked about the Brat Pack documentary to Rachael Ray. To hear what they said, then click here!
