Pretty in Pink/Trivia

• Hey, It's That Guy!: "And yes, that is the guy from Two and A Half Men." - Lorelai Gilmore.
  • Gina Gershon has a small part as Benny's best friend, Trombley.
  • Let's not forget the original Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Kristy Swanson, in an uncredited role.
• Unintentional Period Piece: Even by 1980s teen dramedy standards, this is pretty damn 80s. So much that if people showed up dressed like these people in a movie today, the audience would assume the characters were satirizing the 80s.
• What Could Have Been: Jodie Foster turned down the role of Andie. Anjelica Huston and Tracey Ullman were both considered for Iona.
• Word of Gay: Both Molly Ringwald and Jon Cryer have agreed that after high school, Duckie came out of the closet and is currently a Hard Gay, wearing no shirt and suspenders and attending Gay Pride events. Could be considered Word of Dante, of course.
  • Keep in mind, though, that John Hughes originally wanted Andie and Duckie to end up together, so this is not really Word of God.
