TMZ is reporting that celebrated director John Hughes, writer and/or director of almost every good movie in the 1980s, has died today of a sudden heart attack. From the article:
Hughes suffered the heart attack while taking a morning walk during a trip to NYC to visit family.
He directed such hits as “The Breakfast Club,” “Pretty in Pink,” “Sixteen Candles” and “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off.”
The director of 59 was instrumental in bringing to the screen numerous classic 1980s comedies and dramas–Sixteen Candles, The Breakfast Club, Weird Science, Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, Planes, Trains & Automobiles, Mr. Mom, National Lampoon’s Vacation, Home Alone, and on and on.
His passing is like the systemic destruction of an entire generation’s collective childhood. He will be sorely missed. Our condolences to his friends and family.
