HOT CELEBRITIES: Actress Molly Ringwald: I Feel Like "the World's Oldest Teenager!"

Molly Ringwald: I Feel Like "the World's Oldest Teenager!"
With back-to-back roles in Sixteen Candles, The Breakfast Club and Pretty in Pink on her resume, '80s teen queen Molly Ringwald still feels like a kid at heart.
"I'm the world's oldest teenager!" Ringwald, now 44, joked at The Secret Life of the American Teenager's 100th episode party in Burbank, Calif. Thursday.

Now that she's older, Ringwald's roles have matured -- and she's happy to have found a new audience.
"I think teenagers really, really love [the show]. And I've heard that there's also people in my demographic who have gotten really hooked on it."

The show also helped launch Shailene Woodley's career long before she played George Clooney's daughter in The Descendants. "I don't really think that I need to give her advice," Ringwald said, adding that Woodley, 20, is on track to become "a superstar."
"She's really got it together," Ringwald explained. "She comes from a great family and she has a great foundation, so I totally trust her."
Working on The Secret Life of the American Teenager has been especially rewarding for Ringwald, who has three children with husband Panio Gianopoulos.

"When I came here, I had a 4-year-old daughter who is now 8, and I became pregnant with twins. Brenda Hampton wrote it into the show so I could continue working, so it's very special to me."
"I wish I would've been a little bit more attractive while I was pregnant! I was not one of those pretty pregnant people!" Ringwald laughed to Us. "But I did have these giant twins inside of me. And everyone was so loving and so supportive of me, so it was a very special time in my life."
