Susan Peters

Susan Peters has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame for her contribution to Motion Pictures, at 1601 Vine St. Molly married her long time fiance Valery Lameignere on July 28, 1999, but they have since filed for divorce. Her health continued to deteriorate until her death, in Visalia, California, from kidney disease and pneumonia, complicated by anorexia nervosa. She recently appeared in Not Another Teen Movie — a parody/tribute film of teen movies. Her career began to falter, and as her marriage ended, Peters began to suffer from depression. Ringwald is currently participating in plays in London, and she performed on Broadway before moving to England. She toured in stage productions of The Glass Menagerie and The Barretts of Wimpole Street, and her performances were highly regarded, but her disability made her a difficult actress to cast. She later lived in France for four years and only appeared in French-language films.

An unsympathetic role in The Sign of the Ram (1948) failed to win an audience, and a starring role as a detective in the television series Miss Susan (1951) was also unsuccessful. During the period that Ringwald was Hollywood's top female teen, she appeared in countless covers of such publications as Tiger Beat, Teen and many others. The accident left her permanently paralysed from the waist down and confined to a wheel chair, however she attempted to continue her acting career. Among Ringwald's movies are Fresh Horses, The Pick Up Artist, and the movie that got the Brat Pack together: The Breakfast Club. Married to the actor Richard Quine, she was with him on a hunting vacation in early 1945, when a rifle accidentally discharged, causing a bullet to be lodged in her spine. The reporter published a sensationalist article calling her and her fellow actors (Judd Nelson, Ally Sheedy, Emilio Estevez, Rob Lowe, Andrew McCarthy, Demi Moore and Anthony Michael Hall) The Brat Pack. A starring role in Song of Russia (1943) earned her critical acclaim but the film was not a commercial success. The term was first coined in 1985 after a night out with a reporter of the New Yorker Magazine.

MGM began to groom her for starring roles, casting her in several lesser productions that allowed her to learn her craft. Ringwald was a member of the so-called Brat Pack. Her first substantial role, in Random Harvest (1942), earned her an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress nomination. Her breakout role was Pretty in Pink (1986). For the first two years she used her given name and played small, often uncredited parts in films such as Meet John Doe (1941), before adopting her stage name. At age eight, she landed herself a place on TV's New Mickey Mouse Club. Before long she had impressed studio executives with her own talent, and they began casting her in films. At age five, she starred in a stage production of Alice in Wonderland, playing the dormouse.

Her first job was to read with potential actors in their screen tests. Ringwald, the daughter of blind jazz pianist Bob Ringwald, started her acting career young. Born Suzanne Carnahan in Spokane, Washington, Peters began working for MGM Studios after completing high school. After the success of the film, she appeared in many other teen movies.
