BTB: Jane Wilkens Michael Show: Mom’s the Word

Jane Wilkens Michael Better Than Before

Molly Ringwald on parenting and prevention - Jane’s guest today is the uber-accomplished Molly Ringwald, a gifted actress, singer, and dancer. Whether starring in such iconic films as Pretty in Pink, The Breakfast Club Sixteen Candles, and Paul Mazursky's Tempest or, more recently in Netflix's film series The Kissing Booth and the CW's Riverdale, Molly’s talent transcends the decades. She is also a noted author and translator. Her fiction and non-fiction have, in fact, appeared in the likes of The New Yorker, The New York Times, Vogue, and Esquire. Yet with all her accolades in the entertainment and publishing industries, her most important role, and the one for which she is most proud, is being a mom to three children—a teen and pre-teen twins. On this segment, Molly will talk about her career to date and share her tips and tools for beauty, health, happiness, and self-esteem. Furthermore, as both a mom and someone who has fond memories and associations with turning sixteen, she will discuss her work as the national spokesperson for Sanofi’s 16 Vaccine campaign to bolster bacterial meningitis booster awareness. Indeed, the crucial second dose of the MenACWY vaccine targets a disease that, left unchecked, could lead to serious and devastating complications. But most of all, her thoughts on marriage and parenting will inform and illuminate us all.
