16 Candles, 140 Characters: Molly Ringwald At The Miami Book Fair

Jenna DeTrapani

There's a lot of swooning to be done when a well-known Brat Packer decides to spend part of her day reading to you from her new book When it Happens to You. Here are just a few of the many endearing comments we've spotted on the web today about Molly Ringwald:

"The audience releases a collective groan when the presenter announces that Molly Ringwald will only be signing books following her reading. No DVDs, posters, or other memorabilia." - Ed Lavin

"I look up, and there is MOLLY RINGWALD. She ate fruit, and texted on her telephone.  ...I walked up to her and introduced myself and told her how much I admired her work. And to be honest, I haven't read her stuff. But I loved Pretty in Pink and Sixteen Candles. Oh, and I snapped a photo from across the room, because Ed wanted one, but was too shy." - Jan Becker

"As a child of the eighties, I find it awesome that I an sitting across the room from Molly Ringwald in the authors hospitality suite."​ - Ed Lavin

"OH MY GOD. Molly Ringwald just sat down next to me. I need some selling salts."​ - Jan Becker

 
Jan Becker and Ed Lavin are contributors to the . They attended Molly Ringwald's talk on Sunday. You can check out FBR's full live blog of the 2012 book fair .
