Macaulay Culkin is paying tribute to his \u201cHome Alone\u201d co-star Catherine O\u2019Hara following her death at age 71. <\/p>\n
O\u2019Hara died Friday at her home in Los Angeles after a brief illness, her publicist at CAA confirmed. Following the news, Culkin mourned his movie mom on social media<\/a>. <\/p>\n \u201cMama. I thought we had time,\u201d the actor wrote. \u201cI wanted more. I wanted to sit in a chair next to you.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cI heard you. But I had so much more to say,\u201d he continued. \u201cI love you. I\u2019ll see you later.\u201d <\/p>\n O\u2019Hara played the frazzled yet fierce Kate McCallister, mother to quick-witted troublemaker Kevin McCallister, in the iconic \u201cHome Alone\u201d (1990) and its sequel \u201cHome Alone 2\u201d (1992). The films launched Culkin to fame and have become bona fide Christmas classics, whose emotional core lies in the palpable chemistry between Culkin and O\u2019Hara. <\/p>\n The pair reunited in 2023, when O\u2019Hara honored Culkin at the latter\u2019s Hollywood Walk of Fame induction ceremony, praising the \u201csweet, yet twisted, yet totally relatable sense of humor\u201d that helped him survive his early launch into the spotlight. <\/p>\n \u201cThe reason families all over the world can\u2019t let a year go by without watching and loving \u2018Home Alone\u2019 together is because of Macaulay Culkin,\u201d O\u2019Hara said in her speech<\/a>. <\/p>\n \u201cThank you for including me \u2014 your fake mom who left you home alone not once, but twice \u2014 to share in this happy occasion,\u201d she said. \u201cI\u2019m so proud of you.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
