Private funeral for film director Hughes

Filmmaker John Hughes was remembered by family and friends who gathered in a Chicago suburb for a private funeral.

The director of 'The Breakfast Club' and 'Ferris Bueller’s Day Off' died of a heart attack last Thursday during a walk in Manhattan. The 59-year-old Hughes was in New York to visit family.

In addition to family and friends, colleagues such as Vince Vaughn, Ben Stein and Matthew Broderick gathered at the Wenban Funeral Home in Lake Forest, Illinois for Hughes’ memorial service.

Stein, who played Ferris Bueller’s teacher, was one of the speakers who paid tribute to Hughes.
