She wasn't hot


Exactly. Nor was she pitched that way. She was cute, a bit awkward and fresh faced, which played perfectly into her wheelhouse during those teenage HS movies of the time.

The locker room scene where she compares herself to Jake's current gf Caroline is spot on.

IDK, but for the Gen.X crowd in the 80's, it just worked. Did for me.

Like I said, she fit for Sixteen Candles.

Meanwhile in Breakfast Club she's the hot rich girl, which she didn't really fit.

*I haven't watched Pretty in Pink in 30+ years so don't really remember it.
