Laura Dern tried out for both female parts in The Breakfast Club and was rejected. Later she referred to John Hughes movies as "that teen junk". Dern bounced back and got two great parts that year: the lead in Joyce Chopra's La prima volta (1985) and the female lead in David Lynch's Velluto blu (1986). Similarly, John Cusack, who had been cast the previous year as Bryce, Anthony Michael Hall/Farmer Ted's crony in Sixteen Candles - Un compleanno da ricordare (1984), was in the running for Bender, and made it to the final callbacks for the part, when Nelson finally edged him out. He was bitter about the rejection also but went on to star in many other teen classics of the 1980s.
