Have a question for Molly Ringwald?

Molly She's an 80s movie icon. The girl next door. A teenage crush for a generation of males. And yeah, she should have ended up with Duckie instead of Blane in Pretty in Pink!

Molly Ringwald is coming to the Tampa Bay area next week with the traveling Broadway production of Sweet Charity, which plays Jan. 2-7 at Ruth Eckerd Hall. (Click here to see a preview of the production from Youtube.com.)

We talked to her a month ago about her current role in the stage production. (Click here to listen to the podcast). On Jan. 2, the Stuck in the 80s crew is scheduled to interview Molly in person.

This time, we want to let her fans ask the questions.

So drop us a comment with a question you'd like us to ask Molly. We'll pick the best ones and ask them to her during our short visit next Tuesday afternoon. Then tune into that week's podcast to hear her answers. We'll also have reactions from the crowd from opening night.

No marriage proposals allowed. (Because I was already planning that.)

A radio station I was listening to the other day was playing clips of their "best of" stuff for 2006 and they had interviewed Anthony Michael Hall. They talked to him about the 80s and he said that the entire Breakfast Club cast (minus Emilio Estevez) had gotten together and had dinner sometime not long before he did the interview. I'd like to hear about their dinner and what kinds of things they all talked about.

I know this isn't truly a question, but I think there might be fun stories there that are current yet linked to one of the best movies ever.

What happened to the back of your dress? (Not that anyone's complaining.)

And how about it: Do you feel you should have ended up with the Duck Man in "Pretty in Pink"?

Debra

Which of your films are you most proud of?

Port Tampa

Was there ever any serious discussion of you playing Bette Midler's daughter in a movie? I always thought you'd make a great comedic pair!

Who was your favorite co-star of the 80s?
