Earlier this week, TV Envy had the opportunity to chat with actress Molly Ringwald—star of Sixteen Candles and The Breakfast Club – on a variety of subjects including her new book (Getting the Pretty Back), teen pregnancy in Hollywood, her Pretty in Pink dress, reality TV and her connection to another famous redhead.

In addition, Ringwald talked to us about her recent partnership with Ragu. The working mother of three explains why she teamed up with the famous brand and how the company’s Old World Style sauces play a role in her family’s nutrition. (Those who visit Ragu’s Facebook page can also hear Molly talking about her mealtime tips there. Cooking demos and simple recipes are also available.)

Molly can currently be seen on The Secret Life of the American Teenager. That ABC Family series is in the middle of its third season.
