    Molly Ringwald is fluent in French.
    Like Jodie Foster, Ringwald studied French at Le Lycée Français de Los Angeles.
    In the mid-1990s, Ringwald moved to France and appeared in a few French-speaking movies.
    Ringwald was briefly married to a French writer, Valéry Lameignère, from 1999 to 2002.
