John Hughes(1950-2009)

Was a close friend of John Candy. People who knew Hughes well have stated that Candy's death in 1994 had devastated him and may have contributed to his seclusion. Vince Vaughn, who was a close friend of Hughes, told Vanity Fair in 2010 that, "He talked a lot about how much he loved Candy - if Candy had lived longer, I think John would have made more films as a director.".

I stumbled into this business, I didn't train for it. I yelled "Action!" on my first two movies before the camera was turned on.
