This signed sheet music is for Pretty in Pink from the 1986 John Hughes film of the same name, autographed by actress Molly Ringwald, the star of the movie and an icon of 1980s teen cinema. Originally written and recorded in 1981 by British new wave band The Psychedelic Furs, Pretty in Pink was re-recorded in 1986 to serve as the theme song for Hughes’s film. With its shimmering guitars, melancholic edge, and Richard Butler’s distinctive vocals, the track became forever tied to the movie’s bittersweet story of love, class, and identity in high school. The song, much like the film, came to symbolize the complexity of adolescence in the 1980s and remains a staple of alternative rock playlists today. Molly Ringwald (born 1968) was the face of John Hughes’s teen film era, starring in classics such as Sixteen Candles (1984), The Breakfast Club (1985), and Pretty in Pink (1986). As Andie Walsh in Pretty in Pink, Ringwald embodied the heart and vulnerability of an outsider navigating high school romance and social pressures, solidifying her status as a cultural icon. Her performances in Hughes’s films earned her a lasting place in pop culture, making her a defining figure of the “Brat Pack” generation and a touchstone for stories of teenage life on screen. Owning this signed sheet music for Pretty in Pink is more than a collectible—it’s a unique piece of 1980s film and music history. For fans of John Hughes films, admirers of Molly Ringwald, and collectors of movie soundtrack memorabilia, this artifact captures the spirit of an era where music and cinema intertwined to define a generation.
