Further To John Hughes

MY FRIEND ALLI (and a few others, besides -- ah the internets!) hipped me to this -- simply extraordinary -- blog entry from a woman who was John Hughes' pen pal when she was a teen. It's simply lovely, and a little heartbreaking, and I don't want to excerpt any of it. Just go to her site and read it for yourself.

I loved this piece- I found it via twitter and re-posted on facebook- I know, I know- but it truly is a wonderfully touching, heartbreakingly honest relationship between this iconic filmmaker~writer and an anonymous young woman whom he treated with immense respect and generosity of spirit. Man, his work moved and shaped me, spoke to my artsy fartsy out-there teenage self. thanks for sharing.
