Actress Molly RIngwald is sharing some intimate details about her family, including where her daughter Mathilda was conceived. She says it likely happened at Studio 54 in 2003.
Once gracing the big screen in flicks like 'Sixteen Candles' and 'The Breakfast Club,' actress Molly Ringwald is all grown up and handing the reigns to her 20-year-old daughter Mathilda, who is now making her acting debut. In an interview with The Times, Ringwald, 56, explained her hesitancy to allow Mathilda to pursue a career all too similar to her own. 'We wouldn’t let Mathilda pursue acting when she was a child, as we wanted her to concentrate on being a kid.
She and I are both emotional and headstrong,' Ringwald added. 'When she was learning to walk, if we helped her for a couple of steps, she would stop and say, 'Do myself lone' and go back and do it again. That’s still her attitude today, including in her acting career. She took Gianopoulos, her father’s name, instead of Ringwald. I said, ‘Are you sure? Ringwald is so much easier to spell and it might open some doors.’ But she was adamant.
Mathilda, who was also interviewed, echoed her mother's sentiments, admitting that she and her mother are 'both very passionate.' 'We may have butted heads when I was growing up, but we also bonded over that. We’ve always felt more like sisters, and as I get older, we get closer and closer.' CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APP
