Demi Moore was the leader of the pack as she joined Andrew McCarthy, Ally Sheedy and Jon Cryer in reliving a generational movement in Hollywood at the 2024 Tribeca Film Festival. Andrew is going behind the camera and calling up his fellow ‘80s icons in the new documentary “Brats,” which explores the term coined by New York Magazine. “Extra’s” Mona Kosar Abdi was with the stars at the doc’s premiere, where Jon and Andrew spoke about making amends after some friction while making “Pretty in Pink.”

I watched the documentary last night. It’s quite moving, honestly. The amount of growth they all took from being labeled as “The Brat Pack” is commendable. I enjoyed his interactions with everyone that he reconnected with. However, when presented the opportunity to meet the reporter that essentially “ruined” the careers of these actors is emotional (to me anyway). To come face to face with anyone that caused any riff to your life has got to be so difficult. I know, personally, that I have struggled with the thought that if I ever got a chance to be face to face with the ones that ruined my life, what would I do. So watching Andrew face his demon, so to speak, gives off a different demeanor. It’s very admirable and he should be very proud of himself!

McCarthy’s entire premise behind his book & documentary hinges on casting & talent agents not knowing what they were doing from 1985 onward. Which is false. The town simply didn’t see him - and some of the others - as the best choice for various features. With some of the others, it was an issue of their attitudes toward peers & representatives. Michael Hall infamously alienated Stanley Kubrick, ffs... The cream rises, always. Robert Downey, Jr., Sean Penn, James Spader, Kevin Bacon, Matthew Modine, Demi Moore, even Brad Pitt (not the best actor), managed to navigate around supposedly deleterious press labels & work consistently, winning accolades along the way. McCarthy’s doing fine, by the way. Directs television & clearly remains in the public eye 40 years later. Others, like Michael Schoeffling, took the hint & left the business entirely, to his great credit.

@user-bl4fj7qp8r I’ll amend my statement above: Casting and talent agents are idiots. I met Andrew - and Emilio, and Ralph Macchio, and many others - while working at ICM in the late ‘90s. They’d all ride up and down those antiseptic elevators in a stupor. Because the ‘80s had ended and the agents there focused on Johnny Depp, Russell Crowe, Julia, Denzel, Mel, et al. instead. Like a herd of copycatting goats, not a mind amongst them to know how to harness that 30-something proven screen talent.
