June 28, 1985 –
Hard to believe now but Hollywood employed some of the Brat Pack again when Joel Schumacher’s St. Elmo’s Fire, starring Emilio Estevez, Rob Lowe, Andrew McCarthy, Demi Moore, Judd Nelson, Ally Sheedy, and Mare Winningham, premiered on this date.
According to director Joel Schumacher, he had to fight hard to cast Demi Moore, Judd Nelson, Emilio Estevez, Andrew McCarthy, and Andie MacDowell. Schumacher says the studio had easily approved Rob Lowe (who was a teen idol at the time), Ally Sheedy (who had been in the hit movie WarGames) and Mare Winningham (who had a significant body of work in television).
