Macaulay Culkin, who skyrocketed to fame as Kevin McCallister at just 10 years old, has largely stepped out of the limelight after a series of successful films in the early ’90s. Despite his ups and downs, including a stint in indie films and a successful band called The Pizza Underground, Culkin, now 44, remains a cherished figure for his role in “Home Alone.”

Katherine O’Hara, who portrayed Kevin’s frantic mother, has had a flourishing career, earning accolades for her roles in projects like “Schitt’s Creek.” At 70, she continues to act, balancing her family life with a successful career.
Roberts Blossom, who played the warm-hearted old man Marley, passed away in 2011 but is fondly remembered for his pivotal role. Similarly, John Heard, who depicted Kevin’s father, left a lasting impact before his untimely death in 2017.
