Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Pretty in Pink is another one of John Hughes' creations that defined the 1980s teen landscape, but what some fans of the movie might not know is that the film’s original ending was changed. Pretty in Pink follows Andie Walsh, a teenager who falls for Blane, one of the most popular boys in her class.

Related Recasting Pretty In Pink Pretty in Pink is one of John Hughes and Molly Ringwald's most beloved collaborations. Which talented actors could recapture the teen movie's magic? In John Hughes’ original Pretty in Pink ending, Andie and Duckie ended up together after they showed up to prom together. However, the final cut of the movie was vastly different from what Hughes had originally planned. Andie chose Blane over Duckie, and the two reconciled at the end of the movie.

The visceral reaction from the audience was problematic for Hughes and Deutch because they had already filmed the ending, and Andrew McCarthy, who played Blane in the movie, had shaved his head for a Broadway play. Hughes had to go back to the drawing board and rewrite the ending to suit what the audience wanted. The final cut of the movie, which was shot in one day, had Blane apologizing to Andie and the two leaving prom together.
