Michael Palin meets John Hughes Saturday, July 16th 1988: Los Angeles To Breakfast with Tom Jacobson and John Hughes to talk over the ‘Larry Meister’ project. I like them. Jacobson is quiet, trim-bearded and soft spoken. He’s from Kansas. Hughes is chubbier, pale-faced, bespectacled, like the clever boy in class. Articulate, humorous. They’re both younger than I expected. As so often happens, they both know my work more thoroughly than I know theirs. They had sent me a script to consider called ‘Larry Meister Late For Life’. It was, as far as I know, never made. Extract from Michael Palin Diaries 1980-1988

Michael Palin meets John Hughes

Saturday, July 16th 1988: Los Angeles

To Breakfast with Tom Jacobson and John Hughes to talk over the ‘Larry Meister’ project. I like them. Jacobson is quiet, trim-bearded and soft spoken. He’s from Kansas. Hughes is chubbier, pale-faced, bespectacled, like the clever boy in class. Articulate, humorous. They’re both younger than I expected. As so often happens, they both know my work more thoroughly than I know theirs.

They had sent me a script to consider called ‘Larry Meister Late For Life’. It was, as far as I know, never made.
