Molly Ringwald, Brat Pack reunites again for John Hughes tribute

Molly Ringwald and her "Brat Pack" co-stars paid tribute to the late director John Hughes at Sunday's Academy Awards ceremony.

Ringwald, who stars in The Secret Life Of The American Teenager, joined Matthew Broderick, Macauley Culkin, Judd Nelson and Ally Sheedy for the tribute, which she declared was easy since the group holds regular reunions. Hughes, who died last year at the age of 59, directed the bunch in The Breakfast Club (1985).

Ringwald, 42, told WENN: "We had all seen each other about five years ago when we were all together for the MTV tribute to John. We run into each other every so often. We all have very different lives and careers but we usually get together at least every couple of years for one reason or another. I just hope next time it will be for a happier occasion."
