John Wilden Hughes, Jr.<\/strong> (February 18, 1950 \u2013 August 6, 2009) was a director, screenwriter, and producer. He attended Glenbrook North High School<\/a>, in Northbrook, IL. Hughes first got into filmmaking as a staff writer for National Lampoon<\/em> magazine. Although his first screenplay there (Class Reunion<\/em>) was far from successful, he had written a story for the magazine that ended up getting some attention. He subsequently reworked it into the script for National Lampoon\u2019s Vacation<\/em>. Hughes directed his first film, Sixteen Candles<\/em>, in 1984. Its success led to a series of films set in or around high school, including The Breakfast Club<\/em>, Pretty In Pink<\/em>, and Ferris Bueller\u2019s Day Off<\/em>. These films helped put a number of actors on the map, including Molly Ringwald, Anthony Michael Hall, and the rest of the Brat Pack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hughes branched out beyond teen films with Planes, Trains and Automobiles<\/em> and Uncle Buck<\/em>(both of which he wrote, produced, and directed) and found his biggest commercial success with Home Alone<\/em>, which he wrote and produced. He kept writing and producing up until his premature death in 2009. The pilot episode of the critically-acclaimed series Community<\/em>, which aired the following month, was dedicated to Hughes and included several references in its script. Interesting bit of film trivia: The Breakfast Club<\/em> was set at fictional Shermer High School. Glenbrook North High School is located on Shermer Road, and the original name of Northbrook was Shermerville.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
