Molly Ringwald talks about her daughter Mathilda
As fine as Molly Ringwald has portrayed her characters in any project she has done so far, she has strongly carried on the role of a mother in real life too. In her recent interview, the Breakfast Club alum spoke about the time she first became a mother.
"I believe that Mathilda was conceived in the dressing room at Studio 54 right at the end of my run playing Sally Bowles in Cabaret in 2003," the star stated while divulging about her first daughter to The Times.
Ringwald further went on to say, "It's so Mathilda to be conceived in such an iconic place."
Talking about how she always wanted to be the mother of her own children, the Pretty in Pink star said, "I always knew I wanted to have children, but it took me a while—I was 36 when she was born. At that age, the biological clock was a real thing, and it had kind of become deafening."
"All I could think about was: I must have kids," she added.
Mathilda, who is the 20-year-old daughter of the 56-year-old actress, isn't the only child of hers. Ringwald also shares twins Adele and Roman, both 14, with her husband, Panio Gianopoulos.

That's something I am always looking to improve on and luckily I have a husband who is a planner and is very stable."
