The rest of the family soon return after waiting in Paris until they could obtain a direct flight to Chicago. Kevin keeps silent about his encounter with Harry and Marv, although Peter finds Harry's knocked-out gold tooth. Kevin then watches Marley reuniting with his son, daughter-in-law, and granddaughter. Roberts Blossom considered this one of the high points in his career, saying kids would recognize him and ask “Aren’t you the guy .
It’s quite possible no one but Culkin could have pulled this off. For proof, look no further than the line, “You guys give up, or are you thirsty for more? And the map that his character uses to set up the traps, MauCalay drew it himself. His father was a former Broadway actor and his aunt is Bonnie Bedelia, who was in another Christmas classic, albeit a debated one, the action-packed Die Hard, playing John McClane’s estranged wife.

Hollywood's 100 Favorite Films
The film featured a memorable cast of siblings, parents, and uncles surrounding Kevin. Years later, some are still in the acting game, ranging from prestige TV roles to film careers, while others have eased back on acting gigs to take a break from Hollywood. Compact Italian-American actor Joe Pesci had already reached fame and recognition when he took on the supporting role of burglar Harry in the Home Alone movies. His most famous work includes Goodfellas, The Irishman, Casino, and many more. In 1991, he won an Oscar for Best Actor in a Supporting Role – Goodfellas.
It's been nearly 30 years since we were first introduced toHome Alone, the iconic Christmas movie that made child actor Macaulay Culkin a household name back in 1990, and the rest of the family flick's unforgettable cast. Prior to his death, Heard appeared in many well-known films — including his role as Kevin's loving father — such as Gladiator , Awakenings and The Guardian .

Hughes gave him the scripts for both Home Alone and Reach the Rock; Columbus chose to direct Home Alone, as he found it funnier and liked the Christmas theme. Columbus did an uncredited rewrite of the script, which included the character Old Man Marley. He added the character to give the story a more serious layer, as well as a more emotional, happier ending. Meanwhile, Harry and Marv finally realize that only Kevin is in the McCallister home, and on Christmas Eve, Kevin overhears them discussing plans to break into the house that night. Kevin starts to miss his family and asks the local Santa Claus impersonator if he could bring his family back for Christmas.
He also resented the early unit calls, since they prevented him from starting his day with nine holes of golf as he preferred to do. After he took the assistant director by the collar one day to complain about this, daily call times were moved back from 7 to 9 a.m. On the other end of the schedule, the crew had limited time to film the many nighttime scenes, since Culkin could not work any later than 10 p.m. There's a reason Home Alone is a staple of the Christmas season, and it's only partially about Kevin's clever traps.

So where has the cast of this huge hit been and what are they up to today? Former president and real estate mogul Donald Trump made a small cameo when Kevin arrived at the Plaza Hotel and asked for directions to the lobby. Trump was then – the owner of the Plaza Hotel and agreed for the crew to film there only if he appeared on the big screen for a brief moment. In addition to his on-screen appearances, he was also in many shows and movies like Sex and the City, The Fresh Prince of Bel Air, The Little Rascals, and Zoolander.
Pesci has quite the relationship with actor Robert De Niro and director Martin Scorsese, both of whom were so impressed with his performance in 1976’s The Death Collector that they tracked him down to co-star in Raging Bull as Joey LaMotta. Pesci was on the verge of giving up his acting career, which went on to enjoy a meteoric rise. Their relationship peaked with 1990’s Goodfellas and as a result, Joe took home an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor. Some other highlights are his litigious grit critic in My Cousin Vinnyand 1995’s Casino. We most recently saw Pesci in 2019’s The Irishman, again with his pals De Niro and Scorsese.

Michael Walsh of Nerdist noted the church scene as "One of the best, most touching scenes ". Naomi Barnwell of Roobla said that "Home Alone has all the ingredients that make for a great kids’ film". John Candy was available for only one day to film his scenes, which took 23 hours to shoot. He was paid only $414, since he did the film as a favor to Hughes. In return, he was the only actor Hughes allowed to go off-script; according to Columbus, all his dialogue was improvised. On Christmas Day, Kevin is initially disappointed to find that his family is still gone, although Kate arrives home and they reconcile.
Chris Farley auditioned for the role of the Santa Claus impersonator, but he failed to impress Columbus. In 2014, actor Macaulay Culkin went on a tour with his comedy rock band, ThePizza Underground. His most recent and famous role is Mickey, the tortured artist in season 10 of American Horror Story. In addition, Culkin has an upcoming docuseries Macaulay Culkin’s Midlife Crisis.
"There were thousands of extras, all expertly choreographed so none of us would be in danger running at full speed through the American Airlines terminal", she told The Hollywood Reporter. "And we ran at full speed. Sometimes we’d bump into each other, like a multi-car pileup on the expressway, and just crack up laughing ... There were so many setups and narrowly missed moments of disaster, but to my knowledge, no one got hurt." Daniel Stern was cast as Marv, but before shooting started, he was told that the production schedule had been extended from six weeks to eight. He dropped out after as he would not be paid more for the extended schedule. Daniel Roebuck was hired to replace him, but after two days of rehearsal, Columbus felt he was lacking chemistry with Pesci and brought back Stern. Roebuck later said that, although he was upset to be fired from the production, he now believed the experience was "a little blip of unimportance".
The holiday comedy about an 8 year old forced to fend off two house intruders after being left behind on a family vacation boasted a talented cast, and a renowned director and screenwriter . Pesci starred in Betsy's Wedding and Goodfellas the same year he portrayed bandit Harry in Home Alone, which he reprised in the sequel. The Oscar winner's long film career includes roles in JFK, My Cousin Vinny, A Bronx Tale, and the Lethal Weapon franchise.

Today, Macaulay is 41 and is in a relationship with former Disney star Brenda Song. He’s still acting on occasion, like in season 10 of American Horror Story. In 2020, on his 40th birthday, Culkin tweeted, “Hey guys, wanna feel old?
O'Hara was already a familiar face in Hollywood thanks to several supporting roles throughout the 1980s — most notably 1988's Beetlejuice. Stern's worked steadily in film and TV ever since, appearing on Aidy Bryant's Hulu series Shrill and in the 2019 film James vs. His Future Self. " 'Home Alone' is the Charles' post-Christmas gift for kids, parents and hipsters". For one sequence, the movie becomes a cat-and-mouse cartoon and a lampoon of home-invasion thrillers.
