Many Notable Roles
You may have caught Hughes demonstrating his talent in films like Midnight Cowboy and Tron, which were before his theater work. He may have already been in his 70s when The Lost Boys was released, but he continued to land parts long after that. Perhaps you remember him from the TV series Blossom or Sister Act 2? However, Hughes passed away in 2006. He was 90 years old at the time.
Dianne Wiest Played Lucy Emerson
Many directors have their own fantasy cast for their films, and Schumacher was not an exception. He was determined to get Wiest for The Lost Boys though he wasn’t optimistic. The actress had won an Oscar for her performance in Hannah and Her Sisters the year before, so Schumacher assumed that a vampire movie wouldn’t really interest her. Nevertheless, it appears that Wiest was not totally averse to the idea.
