4.5 Stars for Getting the Pretty Back: Friendship, Family, and Finding the Perfect Lipstick (audiobook) by Molly Ringwald read by the author.
It was great getting caught up on what’s been going on in Molly Ringwald’s life, she is one of my favorite stars from the 80’s. It was interesting to hear how she has transformed her self from the forever teenager. She has found new roles on film and stage and she still has an amazing style.
