  1. That's very sad… Hughes was such a pivotal force in the lives of so many who grew up in the 1980's (and beyond) with his very special brand of film making. The themes he explored in his films informed as much as they entertained.

    Our generation has lost a true icon.

    Thsnks for posting this.
