“Everything I learned about sex or crushes, I learned from Judy,” Ringwald says in the trailer.
“She allowed young women to be as complicated and messy and funny as we are,” says Dunham.

“My daughter said, mother, couldn’t you write a book about teenagers who fall in love and do it, and nobody has to die?” Blume says of her famous book Forever… in the trailer. “I grew up as a good girl with a bad girl lurking inside. So by the time I started to write, I really had lot to get out. I could be fearless in my writing in a way that maybe I wasn’t always in my life.
