Director John Hughes dead at 59

From correspondents in Los Angeles August 07, 2009 07:54am

JOHN Hughes, best known for writing and directing a string of 1980s hit movies including The Breakfast Club and Ferris Bueller's Day Off, has died, his publicist said today.
He was 59.
Hughes suffered a heart attack while visiting his family in Manhattan, his Los Angeles-based representatives said.
A prolific screenwriter and director, Hughes was the creative inspiration behind a series of teen-oriented films throughout the 1980s before penning the screenplay for the smash 1990 Macaulay Culkin film Home Alone.

Wow so sad...

This guy wrote and directed some of my favorite movies.

Judging from his pic above, he looked very young for 59.

My 2 favorites were Home Alone 1 & 2!

That picture is 20 years old.

He kept out of the public eye for the past two decades.

Yeah, I can see the difference now. He was bigger as well.

It was such a shock to me.

How many of you remember "Crocodile Tears"?
