Brat Pack (movies)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
- For other uses, see Brat Pack (disambiguation).
The "Brat Pack" was the generic name given by the press to a group of young actors and actresses who became famous in the 1980s and frequently appeared together in teen-oriented films as well as socializing together off the set. The name "Brat Pack" came from a 1985 cover story in New York Magazine by David Blum (10 June 1985, pp. 40-47). The term is a play on the Rat Pack from the 1960s. Generally considered to be a condescending grouping, it led to the brat pack members seldom being seen together in public.[citation needed]
