Don't you forget about this Hollywood actress...

For the Eighties star looked unrecognizable as she dodged cabs and coffee stands in New York City this week.

There was no sign of her Brat Pack peers as the 62-year-old walked alone through the Big Apple's streets. 

And her once-famous bangs are also long gone, as the mother-of-one used her sunglasses to pin back her tresses.

The award-winning movie star then hailed a cab - perhaps on her way to enjoy some High Art.

So can you guess who she is?

The 62-year-old takes a solo stroll in New York City this week... but can you guess who she is?

It is Ally Sheedy!

The star covered up against the cold with a long grey coat, skinny jeans and high-top Converse All-Star sneakers.

And, while she was known for her bobbed brunette curls during her heyday, this week she wore her long hair loose.

It marks a rare public outing for Sheedy, who is best known for her role in 1985 indie teen drama The Breakfast Club.

She starred as Allison Reynolds, an eccentric 'basket case' who joins four other students from different high school cliques in a Saturday detention.

The iconic film - which was directed by John Hughes - also stars Molly Ringwald, Emilio Estevez and Judd Nelson. 

It also featured the Simple Minds's single Don't You (Forget About Me) - which went on to reach No1.

Ally starred in other Eighties films such as Bad Boys, War Games and St. Elmo's Fire. From those roles, she became a prime member of the Brat Pack, the nickname given to the young actors appearing in a series of Eighties teen dramas.

She went on to win three awards, including the Independent Spirit Award, for her role as a photographer in 1998 romantic drama High Art. 

One of her last public appearances was last June when Ally reunited with fellow Brat Pack members Demi Moore and Andrew McCarthy at the Tribeca Film Festival.

The trio were attending the premiere of Brats, a documentary directed by McCarthy about their stardom during the Reagan Era. 

Away from the camera, Ally married actor David Lansbury, nephew of veteran Hollywood star Angela, in 1992. They had one child, Beckett, but divorced in 2009.

In January 2022, Ally opened up about supporting Beckett, now 30, who is trans.

'I've learned a lot,' she told People magazine at the time. 'Beck doesn't hide anything. I feel very comfortable talking to anyone whose kid is just beginning the process of transition. Parents need to educate themselves. It's natural to have fears about your kids, no matter what. But in this case, Beck is in a really great place in his life. I give him the room to run, and I just really try to just watch.'

Describing their relationship now, Ally added: 'This is a good phase right now. [Beck's] very independent. But I like it when I can help him with something, whether it's advice or he needs a new mattress.

'I want him to be able to do what he wants to do with his life and have the freedom to make his own choices and surround himself with a loving, supportive community.

'So far, he's been able to do that. It's such an empowering and beautiful thing to be able to stand with your kids in the face of all that and hold true and support them.'
