He was 59 years old & died yesterday of a heart attack when he was in Manhatten. You might know him as the guy who wrote/directed/produced such great movies such as The Breakfast Club, Ferris Bueller's Day Off, Home Alone, National Lampoon's Vacation, & Miracle on 34th Street,
among others.
Sucks ANOTHER famous person died this year. Think next time I'm at my library, I'll rent a movie he worked on.
