- Mia Sara, who starred as Sloane Peterson in the 1986 film Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, has revealed she did not enjoy making the teen classic, despite previously holding back her true feelings to avoid disappointing fans.
- The 59-year-old actor attributed her negative experience primarily to not getting along with the film's director, John Hughes, and also cited her own lack of emotional maturity at the time.
- Sara, who was 17 when the film was released, explained that Hughes wanted the cast to socialise and watch French New Wave films, but she, having already seen them, frustrated his efforts.
- She reflected that she struggled with the audition process and that her acting career was generally “not a happy career” for her, despite some roles she is proud of.
- Despite her past reluctance to act, Sara recently made a red carpet return for Mike Flanagan’s upcoming film The Life of Chuck and stated she would continue acting if Flanagan needed her.
