Macaulay Culkin (Kevin McCallister)
Culkin’s portrayal of the resourceful Kevin made him a global star at just ten years old. Despite earning an estimated $50 million, his career faced turbulence, including a parental custody battle and his emancipation at 14.
After retreating from the limelight, he pursued personal growth, briefly returned to acting, and faced public scrutiny over his health. Now 44, Culkin is a father of two and recently received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, thanking his fiancée Brenda Song for their family life.

Catherine O’Hara (Kate McCallister)
O’Hara, Kevin’s frantic mother, already had a thriving career with hits like Beetlejuice. Post-Home Alone, she became a comedy icon, winning an Emmy for her eccentric role as Moira Rose in Schitt’s Creek.
Married to production designer Bo Welch since 1992, she balances a legacy of comedic brilliance with a fulfilling family life at 70.
Joe Pesci (Harry)
Pesci’s comedic villainy as one of the “Wet Bandits” contrasted with his tough roles in Goodfellas and Casino. After stepping back from acting in the 2000s, he focused on music and golf but occasionally returned to film, including The Irishman.
Now 81, Pesci is celebrated for his versatility in crime dramas and comedy.
Daniel Stern (Marv)
Stern’s slapstick humor as Harry’s partner in crime, Marv, left audiences in stitches.
Beyond Home Alone, he shone in films like City Slickers and narrated The Wonder Years. Married since 1980, Stern has three children, one of whom is a California state senator. He continues to work in film and TV.
John Heard (Peter McCallister)
Heard played Kevin’s well-meaning father, adding warmth to the film. Known for roles in Big and The Sopranos, he passed away in 2017 at 71 while recovering from surgery.
Remembered for his heartfelt performances, his role in Home Alone remains a fan favorite.
A Timeless Cast
From Culkin’s meteoric rise to O’Hara’s comedic reign, the Home Alone cast navigated fame, challenges, and new beginnings, leaving an enduring legacy in Hollywood and viewers’ hearts.
