David Kamp on John Hughes (March 2010) | vanityfair.com
53 minutes ago ago from Vanity Fair
J ohn Hughes never stopped writing. He was notorious for this trait, especially in the 1980s, when he churned out screenplays faster than Hollywood could make them into movies. The script for Sixteen Candles came forth in a two-day burst during the 1983 preparations for The Breakfast Club, so impressing his studio overseers that it jumped the line to become Hughes s directorial debut, in 1984.
