Actress Martha Plimpton, 54, is opening up about filming the 1985 movie, The Goonies.
Plimpton, who played Stephanie "Stef" Steinbrenner, shared she has some complicated feelings about the movie, directed by Richard Donner during the June 16 episode of Modern Family star Jesse Tyler Ferguson's podcast, Dinner's on Me.
"Sometimes it upsets me that it's going to be the first thing listed in my obituary. You know what I mean?" said Plimpton with a laugh.
She then noted she was only 14 years old when she shot the film.
"Sometimes that can get me down a little bit. Because obviously, when you're part of something like that at such a young age, you grow up and you've moved on and you're sure you're doing other things. And you're all about doing other things and those early experiences, they don't stack up as much, you know, as an adult. So that's kind of how I feel about it," said the Raising Hope star.
She clarified that she has an appreciation for the movie and its strong fanbase.
"I have to respect the place that it has. In people's minds and hearts and childhoods," said Plimpton during the podcast episode.
While speaking to Entertainment Weekly in May 2021, Plimpton said she did not expect the film to have lasting popularity. She explained that she and her castmates, which included Sean Astin, Josh Brolin, Corey Feldman, and Ke Huy Quan, knew that the movie was "extraordinary" when they were filming it. She said, however, that it didn't have much box-office success. Instead, she said it reached "cult status" because of video rentals and cable television.
In addition, Plimpton said she knows Goonies fans span several generations.
"Of course, now, people who were growing up then are showing it to their kids. And in some cases, their grandkids so it's pretty amazing. It's pretty incredible," said Plimpton during the Entertainment Weekly interview.
