The man behind some of most classic movies of the 1980s has passed away.
John Hughes, legendary director and screenwriter to a number of amazing films, died suddenly from a heart attack today at the young age of 59.
He first directed the classic Sixteen Candles, which launched Molly Ringwald into fame. But, of course, you’ll remember him for directing other teen comedies of the time like The Breakfast Club, Weird Science (a personal favorite), Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, Uncle Buck and Planes, Trains and Automobiles. As a screenwriter, he also penned some classics, including the aforementioned movies, Home Alone and many more.
He was an iconic talent whose life was cut short too soon.
