Like mother, like daughter.

While many movie buffs will always remember Molly Ringwald as a member of the "brat pack" in those classic coming-of-age movies by John Hughes, in real life, she is now a wife and mother.

It appears her daughter cannot escape her mother's iconic past.

While school shopping at Target, Ringwald tweeted a humorous photo of her 11-year-old daughter, Mathilda, striking a pose next to a cardboard cutout of Molly Ringwald in an ad for "Sixteen Candles."

Ringwald continues to work in the entertainment business. In 2013, she released a jazz album, “Except Sometimes.”
