’80s teen queen Molly Ringwald remembers the late, great John Hughes in an article for The New York Times today.
The red-haired recent new mum opens up about some surprising facts about Hughes, like the fact that Molly hadn’t spoken to John in 20 years, and that John held many “grudges.” Some of the highlights:
“Most everyone knows that John retreated from Hollywood and became a sort of J.D. Salinger for Generation X. But really, sometime before then, he had retreated from us and from the kinds of movies that he had made with us.”
and this:
“Most people who knew John knew that he was able to hold a grudge longer than anyone — his grudges were almost supernatural things, enduring for years, even decades. Michael suspects that he was never forgiven for turning down parts in “Pretty in Pink” and “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off.” I turned down later films as well.”
