John Hughes, the Lansing-born film director known for a string of hit teen comedies in the ‘80s, has died today from a heart attack, TMZ.com is reporting.

Hughes directed such classics as “Sixteen Candles,”“Ferris Bueller’s Day Off,” and “Home Alone.”

Since the mid-‘90s, Hughes has lived out of the public eye in Wisconsin, according to Variety.

According to TMZ, Hughes suffered the heart attack while taking a morning walk during a trip to New York City to visit family.

He was 59.

Budd Schulberg - screenwriter behind masterpieces like A Face in the Crowd and On the Waterfront - passed away yesterday from natural causes. He was 95.

RIP

Also, very sad to hear about John Hughes...I was in a stage production of Breakfast Club last year. He really was a great writer, and some of his stuff (Ferris Bueller's Day Off especially) will go down in history as some of the greatest teen movies of all time. Even though he didn't really do anything noteworth in ages, he will be missed.
