Starting
out by writing the best selling book "She Was Nice
to Mice" at the age of twelve, Ally probably didn’t
known she was going to have a future in the entertainment
industry. Ally later danced with the American Ballet Theatre,
and was always interested in entertaining others. Eventually
she decided to focus on acting, but still found time to
publish articles for Mrs. Magazine. Eventually Ally got
an appearance on “The Mike Douglas Show”,
and everything fell into place. She was signed by an agent,
and Ally found herself doing commercials.
Only 15 at the time, she also performed off Broadway and
on a series of after-school specials. By the time she
was 18 she was moving to Los Angeles.

She
enrolled in the drama department at The University of
Southern California, and was looking for work; she found
it, in the form of various television dramas. The strength
of her performances led directly to her film debut as
Sean Penn's naive but knowing girlfriend, J.C., in "Bad
Boys." It was soon that Ally would get the role in
the movie that she will always be remembered for, even
thought the events of her life have allowed her to shine
far beyond most peoples dreams; playing a shy and reclusive
girl in “The Breakfast Club”, she captured
the hearts of insecure teens (now adults) everywhere.
Ally continues to work on her career, and if the silver
screen should ever exhaust her ambitions, she can always
go back to being a novelist.
