Maybe He Really Did Want More Than a Party...
Is that really too hard to believe? That Jake Ryan could want more than a party? Well Party People, we don't think so. As we dig deeper here it is seeming more and more plausible that Michael Schoeffling could in fact be living in rural Pennsylvania. This is so ironic to us because it somehow lets the fantasy of Jake Ryan be perpetuated by this very real man, Mr. Schoeffling. If he chose a wife and kids and a quiet life over the glitz of Hollywood that just seems so Jake Ryan of him. Are you following this? The underlying tone floating around out there is that "Jake Ryan" is pure fiction. That the gorgeous boy would never give up his blonde bombshell girlfriend for a lower profile more fulfilling relationship. That is the stuff of dreams and everyone "knows" it would never happen. Well, why not?

Please find him and tell us all about it! Long live Jake Ryan (;
ReplyDeleteyou have now been added to my google reader. :)
ReplyDeletehe in fact does live in rural PA, right near me. He does makes furniture.His daughter graduated from the local high school a couple years ago.
ReplyDeleteI would love to get a picture with him since I grew up being told I look like Molly RIngwald from EVERYONE! I'm even the same age as Molly. When the movies were out I was stopped in a bathroom and asked for my autograph! lol!
If I run into him and get that picture, I will let you know. ;)
Does this quest live on? I have a Jake Ryan Project of my own, but would love to hear what happened to this one! :)
ReplyDeleteWhat ever happened with your search? So funny, my friend and I are turing 40 this year and love this movie...and Jake! We went to college in Northeast PA and decided we were going to try to find him, too and stumbled upon your blog. Any updates? Maybe we should join forces?
ReplyDeleteBasically the Jake Ryan mystique is at the core of the Twilight craze. A well connected, good looking guy takes up with an average female. She's not well built or blonde or sexually lascivious in her demeanor and yet Jake chose to be with Samantha...just like Edward chose to be with Bella. It's pure fantasy in the modern world. And it's nice to feast upon.
ReplyDeletehe actually lives 2 and a half hours away from me. . .seriously. I looked it up on Mapquest. One day. . .I'll figure out which house!
