00:00John Hughes obviously drew a lot of poetic inspiration from Molly's performances,
00:06and at some point he lets her take over the character.
00:10But it's a really innovative bit of casting in Breakfast Club because he's having her play
00:15somebody who would have been friends with Carolyn in Sixteen Candles.
00:17Like, she's in. She's popular, she's rich, she has sushi for lunch, and yet she's extremely vulnerable.
00:23If Molly wasn't written in such a way in The Breakfast Club,
00:27and her background wasn't written in such a way, I wouldn't know what to draw from, basically.
00:33He gave the road map to the look, so she's a prissy girl.
00:38First, I wanted her to be like the rich little girl in pink and a little beret and, you know,
00:44the diamond earrings, the little studs, and little short skirt, and that was kind of, she was edgier than that.
00:51So then we went into that Ralph Lauren kind of straight wrap skirt with the boot,
00:56and it had attitude. Her clothes had an attitude. She had attitude.
01:01Now, Molly, in front of her father, gives me an earring.
01:03So she's going to have to, she's, she's choosing that road for herself, which is quite wonderful.
01:09Because she and Daddy are not going to get along the next day.
01:12It's going to be good for me. So, I'm okay with that.
01:30You
