Actress Ally Sheedy was part of the original 'Brat Pack' in the mid eighties, earning that distinction by appearing in such 80's classics as "the Breakfast Club" and "St. Elmo's Fire." She actually considered the term 'Brat Pack' a bit condescending. After all, at the time the Hollywood press was applying term, Sheedy was 23 and had been acting on stage and appearing in commercials since age 15. She had even published her own children's book at age 12 (it probably didn't hurt that her mom was a literary agent.) Ally Sheedy had a bunch of television roles between '81 and '83. Then she made the leap to film with her first motion picture role in a 1983 film that starred Sean Penn. What was the name of the movie?

Bonus Question: Ally Sheedy had a recurring part on a TV series before moving on to film. Her character's name was Kristen, what was the name of the show?
