	Description:		- Today's anniversary show will feature very special guests, and 80's icon author/actress Ally Sheedy. The day she turned 18, Sheedy packed her bags and headed for Los Angeles, where she enrolled in the drama department at USC, and soon landed roles in the television drama The Best Little Girl in the World (1981) (TV), The Day the Loving Stopped (1981) (TV), Splendor in the Grass (1981) (TV) and Homeroom (1981) (TV), and played a recurring character on "Hill Street Blues" (1981). The strength of her performances led directly to her film debut as Sean Penn's naive but knowing girlfriend, "J.C.", in Bad Boys (1983). That same year (1983), she starred as Matthew Broderick's zany partner in WarGames (1983). After starring as Rob Lowe's would-be romantic interest in Oxford Blues (1984), the withdrawn adolescent of The Breakfast Club (1985) and Gene Hackman's adoring daughter in Twice in a Lifetime (1985), Sheedy played her first fully adult role in St. Elmo's Fire (1985), the 1985 hit about college friends. In later years, Ally Sheedy continued to shine in the critically acclaimed film High Art and Steam co-starring legendary actress Ruby Dee.
