Molly Ringwald, Harry Dean Stanton in 1986's Pretty in Pink
It’s always odd when someone as laconic as Harry Dean Stanton, who appeared ancient even as a young man, is tapped to emcee (and ideally bring a spark of life to) Saturday Night Live. And why, you may ask, did SNL‘s producers invite Stanton on? The episode coincided with his role as Molly Ringwald’s father in Pretty in Pink.
