What Does '80s Actor Ally Sheedy Look Like These Days?

Even if Simple Minds advised audiences not to forget the cast and characters of "The Breakfast Club," '80s star and Brat Pack member Ally Sheedy may not be as easy to remember as some of her co-stars. She made her mark throughout the decade with performances in "Oxford Blues" and "St. Elmo's Fire," but one could argue she's had a lesser cultural impact compared to co-stars like Molly Ringwald, who's responsible for one of the most iconic rom-com outfits that still gives off main-character energy. Though some people may recognize her from photos taken back in the day, she stands among several famous '80s actors who are practically unrecognizable now.

While we've previously explored what Sheedy and the leading ladies of "St. Elmo's Fire" looked like then and now, casual audiences still may not be able to spot her in a crowd today. The actor is known for several styles she sported throughout the '80s, from the youthful, sometimes angsty bob seen in films like "The Breakfast Club" to the straight, flowing locks she wore in "War Games." Now in her 60s, Sheedy has traded in her trenchcoat and jean jacket, among other '80s garb, for more professional-looking styles, including sweaters, button-up blouses, and, perhaps most notably, glasses. What's more, her formerly neck-length bob has now rolled down past her shoulders. Though those nostalgic for the '80s may miss her old-school looks, others might be all for her modern updates.

The major change-up in '80s star Ally Sheedy's style may be attributed to the career switch-up she experienced later in her life. Though she continued acting in projects like Freeform's "Single Drunk Female," Sheedy also found her calling as a performing arts teacher at the high school and collegiate levels. She's also worked as a book editor and has had previous experience writing her own books and articles.

Of course, Sheedy's just as beautiful as she was in her heyday. She's now known for rocking a natural, cosmetic-free look that screams she's confidently embracing her age, and she joins a list of other celebrities in their 60s who look stunning without makeup and aren't afraid to show it. The addition of glasses to her ensemble gives her a business-like presence necessary for an educator and publishing professional — plus, they simply look great on her. Ultimately, while she doesn't quite resemble the figure '80s fans knew and loved, even if her face shape has remained pretty identical, it's clear that Sheedy has gracefully transitioned into the next phase of her life.
