Here’s A Full Breakdown Of Molly Ringwald’s Disturbing Experience Of Being An ‘80s Child Star

“I’m a little embarrassed to say that it took even longer for me to fully comprehend the scene late in Sixteen Candles, when the dreamboat, Jake, essentially trades his drunk girlfriend, Caroline, to the Geek, to satisfy the latter’s sexual urges, in return for Samantha’s underwear,” she went on. 

“The Geek takes Polaroids with Caroline to have proof of his conquest; when she wakes up in the morning with someone she doesn’t know, he asks her if she ‘enjoyed it.’ (Neither of them seems to remember much.) Caroline shakes her head in wonderment and says, ‘You know, I have this weird feeling I did,'” Molly continued.

“She had to have a feeling about it, rather than a thought, because thoughts are things we have when we are conscious, and she wasn’t,” the star added, before asking: “How are we meant to feel about art that we both love and oppose? What if we are in the unusual position of having helped create it?”
