Film writer and director John Hughes, whose credits include the ’80s teen films “The Breakfast Club” and “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off,” died of a heart attack while walking in Manhattan today. Hughes also made Macaulay Culkin a star, writing and producing the three “Home Alone” movies. His spokesman said Hughes was visiting friends in New York when he died. In the last decade, Hughes had largely turned his back on Hollywood to run a farm in northern Illinois. He is survived by his wife of 39 years, Nancy, two sons and four grandchildren.
