Ally Sheedy has created some of the angstiest, most heartbreaking, and endearing characters in iconic coming-of-age movies such as “The Breakfast Club” and “St. Elmo’s Fire.” We go through her 40-plus-year acting career just in time for her second season in “Single Drunk Female” (new episodes available now on HULU). Ally explains why she resists rewatching her old movies, enjoys teaching as a creative counterpart to performance, and finds the label “Brat Pack,” a belittling misnomer of her and her Reagan-era acting comrades.
