Mia Sara, who played Sloane Peterson in the 1986 film ‘Ferris Bueller’s Day Off’, recently shared her experience working on the iconic movie. Sara stated that filming ‘Ferris Bueller’ was ‘not that good an experience’ for her, despite the movie’s enduring popularity.
Challenges on Set
Sara described director John Hughes as ‘a strange guy’ and mentioned that she struggled to get along with him. She also noted that she was a young actress at the time and lacked the emotional maturity to deal with the pressures of working on a major film.
The movie’s cast, including Matthew Broderick and Jennifer Grey, had different experiences working on the film. Grey began a secret relationship with Broderick during filming, which lasted for about two years. Alan Ruck, who played Cameron Frye, recalled that he had to convince casting directors that he was right for the role despite being older than the character.
Legacy of the Film
Despite Sara’s difficulties during filming, she acknowledges the movie’s cultural impact. ‘Ferris Bueller’s Day Off’ has become a beloved classic, and its influence can still be seen today. Sara’s children have even experienced the movie’s lasting impact, with their friends often recognizing their mother from the film.
