NEW YORK – Writer-director John Hughes, Hollywood's youth impresario of the 1980s and '90s who captured the teen and preteen market with such favorites as "Home Alone," "The Breakfast Club" and "Ferris Bueller's Day Off," died Thursday, a spokeswoman said. He was 59.
Hughes died of a heart attack during a morning walk in Manhattan, Michelle Bega said. He was in New York to visit family.

Score one more for 2009...

Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

R.I.P.

He's off like a dirty shirt. Goodbye, John Hughes! I'll miss you.

If I were any of Hughes' colleagues or former cast members, I'd be nervously looking over my shoulder right now.

): The Breakfast Club was one of my favorite movies, back in the day.

You're just jealous.

Excuse me, I need to beat Mikey severely about the head and shoulders with a rubber chicken. You never did get old enough to feel ways about stuff, did you?

Probably not.

This showed up on ONTD (link!). A fan tells us of her pen pal days with John Hughes back in the 80s and how they kept in touch over the years.
