MOVIE LEGEND: Andrew McCarthy wasn’t actually named as member of “The Brat Pack” in the famous New York magazine article that coined the term, “Brat Pack.”
Last week, Andrew McCarthy, who has built himself a fine career as a TV director (he directed 15 episodes of Orange is the New Black, and over 20 episodes of The Blacklist, starring his old Pretty in Pink co-star and friend, James Spader), released a new documentary called Brats, which was based, in part, on his own recent memoir, Brat: An ’80s Story. The film deals with the effects of a journalist, David Blum, dubbing a generation of male actors in Hollywood as “The Brat Pack” in 1985, turning what was intended to be a profile on Emilio Estevez ahead of the release of St. Elmo’s Fire into effectively a takedown piece on a whole era of actors.
However, there actually IS a specific Brat Pack listed in Blum’s article, and guess what? Andrew McCarthy isn’t in it!
