Molly Ringwald is opening up about the worst job she’s ever had, and it might surprise you. The 58-year-old actress appeared on“Watch What Happens Live”Tuesday night and told Andy Cohen that her time on“The Secret Life of the American Teenager”was her least favorite project of her entire career. She explained that while most of the cast was wonderful, one unnamed person was so difficult that they brought the whole experience down to a one out of ten. She declined to name the person, but she didn’t hold back on how they made her feel.

The praise she gave the rest of the cast is worth noting. Ringwald specifically called out Shailene Woodley, who was her co-star on the ABC Family drama from 2008 to 2013. Over those five seasons, Ringwald appeared in 96 episodes, so she definitely had time to form a strong opinion. The fact that she still loved working with everyone else makes the mystery of the one difficult person even more intriguing. Fans are already speculating online about who it could be.

On the flip side, Ringwald had nothing but love for her 80s classic“Pretty in Pink.”She gave that movie a perfect 10 out of 10, revealing that John Hughes wrote it specifically for her. Hearing her contrast that experience with the teen drama is fascinating. What do you think? Is it better to keep the peace and stay quiet about a bad co-worker, or should she tell us who it was?
