!!Tropes associated with her work:
* ActorInspiredElement:
** It was her suggestion to use the David Bowie quote from "Changes" at the start of ''Film/TheBreakfastClub''. It was also her idea to have Allison put Cap'n'Crunch cereal in her sandwich, and that Claire would eat sushi for her lunch (the script said pasta salad).
** She recommended Judd Nelson for the part of Alec in ''Film/StElmosFire''.
* ActorSharedBackground: She struggled with an addiction to sleeping pills, and this helped inform her role in ''Film/HighArt'', where her character develops a drug addiction.
* TheCameo: She appears as Scott Summers's teacher in ''Film/XMenApocalypse'' as a nod to the movie being set in TheEighties and focusing on YoungerAndHipper versions of the characters.
* CastTheRunnerUp: She lost out on the role of Kate in ''Film/HomeAlone'', and was given a small role in ''Film/HomeAlone2'' as a woman at the airport.
* CostumeBacklash: She has strong feelings about Alison's makeover in ''Film/TheBreakfastClub'', and actually fought John Hughes over it, stating that she tried to at least make it more about Alison letting down walls rather than changing herself.
--> "I had come up with this thing about her black eye makeup and very pale skin so I thought, 'Could it be more that she's taking this mask off?' John did give me that and they didn't really put a whole bunch of makeup on me; it was more about revealing who Allison is. I wish it had been a little more of that and a little less of, 'Let's make her pretty.'"
* CreatorBacklash: She "didn't particularly like" ''Film/BlueCity'', agreeing to star in it because Michelle Manning was a friend from when she'd worked on ''Film/TheBreakfastClub'' and she ignored red flags throughout the TroubledProduction.
* DawsonCasting: Alison Reynolds is a high schooler, but Ally was already 23 when she played her. The same year, she was playing a college graduate in ''Film/StElmosFire''.
* FriendshipOnTheSet: She remained close with her cast members from ''Film/TheBreakfastClub'', having bonded with them closely on set.
* IAmNotPretty: She admitted that she was told her career was stalling because studio execs didn't find her pretty.
--> "I was told point-blank that my career was moving slowly because “nobody wants to fuck you.” There was something about me, sexually, that wasn’t selling."
* IAmNotSpock: She is best remembered as Alison Reynolds.
* ThrowItIn: In the sex scene in ''Film/StElmosFire'', the shower door being pushed out of frame was a genuine accident that was left in, as was her laughing in response.
* WhatCouldHaveBeen:
** She replaced Jenny Wright in the role of Annie in ''Film/BlueCity'' after rewrites were done.
** She turned down the role of Charlie in ''Film/TopGun'', convinced no one [[ItWillNeverCatchOn would want to see a movie about pilots]].
