Pretty in Pink star Andrew McCarthy shares rare photo of daughter Willow on her prom night with nostalgic nod to 80s classic
Pretty in Pink alum Andrew McCarthy shared a rare snap of his 18-year-old daughter Willow wearing her blue prom dress in Dublin, Ireland on Tuesday.
'My daughter Willow went to her prom tonight,' the 62-year-old Brat Packer announced to his 539K Facebook followers.
'She did not wear pink.'
The Nord Anglia International School Dublin grad has already been accepted into NYU's class of 2029 - the same college her famous father was expelled from.
Willow is every bit the nepo baby having acted in three Broadway plays by the age of 13, and her last professional credit was playing Lisa Spencer in Michael Morrissey's 2021 horror film The Girl Who Got Away.

Andrew and his second wife of 13 years - Irish theatre director Dolores Rice - are also proud parents of 11-year-old son Rowan.
McCarthy fathered 23-year-old son Sam - last seen acting in Disney+ reboot Goosebumps: The Vanishing - during his six-year marriage to NYU sweetheart Carol Schneider, which ended in 2005.
And in 2021, the nepo baby impressively scored a SAG Award nomination for being apart of the talented ensemble behind Netflix's Dead to Me.
The eighties heartthrob's caption was referring to Howard Deutch's 1986 romantic dramedy Pretty in Pink, in which his rich character Blane attempts to woo back poor girlfriend Andie (Molly Ringwald) at the prom.
On June 7, Andrew reunited with his Pretty in Pink castmate Jon Cryer as well as fellow Brat Packers Ally Sheedy and Demi Moore at the Tribeca premiere of his Hulu documentary Brats in Lower Manhattan.
Between 2015–2023, McCarthy directed 26 episodes of NBC's The Blacklist, which starred his Pretty in Pink bestie James Spader.
Last July, Rob Lowe revealed he's been developing a sequel for Joel Schumacher's 1985 film St. Elmo's Fire with Columbia Pictures, so the New Jersey-born travel writer might get to reprise his character Kevin Dolenz.
'The studio and I have been talking about doing it for about four months,' the 61-year-old Emmy nominee told ET.
'[Andrew's doc] Brats has only added to the excitement around it. But it's very, very, very, very, very early stages, so we will see.'

Mare Winningham, Judd Nelson, Ally Sheedy, Demi Moore, and Emilio Estevez also starred in the dismally-reviewed drama about seven Georgetown University graduates, which earned $37.8M from a $10M budget at the box office.
The song St. Elmo's Fire (Man in Motion) hit No. 1 on Billboard's Hot 100 chart for two weeks in 1985, and Love Theme from St. Elmo's Fire (the instrumental theme) reached No. 15.
Andrew will soon make his acting comeback in Jonathan Baker's upcoming romance Fate alongside Harvey Keitel, Faye Dunaway, and Mena Suvari.
McCarthy has an acting role in Jaco Bouwer's sci-fi flick Orion, which began post production on February 26.
Andrew is also known for his memorable roles in Mannequin (1987), Less Than Zero (1987), and Weekend at Bernie's (1989).
