Does anyone know where Molly Ringwald is now? Last I heard she married a French director and moved to Paris. Any updates?

Accorrding to IMDB (and remember that people can put whatever they want there) she's divorced from her (now ex-)husband, and has been living in New York for the past three years with her writer/editor boyfriend, where she writes book reviews and celebrity profiles for newspapers. She had a daughter on October 22 2003.
It's cool to see some of the roles she could have had: as well as the famed 'Amanda Jones' role in Some Kind Of Wonderful that she turned down, she also apparently said no to Demi Moore's role in Ghost, and Julia Roberts' role in Pretty Woman. Add to that her mother not showing her the script for Laura Dern's role in Blue Velvet (it disturbed her too much to even consider telling her daughter about it) and her career could have been very, very different.

David Lynch sent her the screenplay of "Blue Velvet", in the hope that she would be interested in playing the role of Sandy, which was eventually played by Laura Dern. However, Molly's mother read it first and because it disturbed her, she never showed it to Molly for consideration.

I read on CHUD.com that they are doing 32 candles with her and Anthony Micheal Hall on the USA network. It is 16 years later and the 2 of them are married.
