Original caption

💔 This year, Home Alone 2 lost Catherine O'Hara, Brenda Fricker and Tim Curry. We had already said goodbye to John Heard and Eddie Bracken, but the characters they gave us live on every Christmas. Kate's love, the Pigeon Lady's kindness, Hector's comic menace and Mr. Duncan's generosity are part of why this film has meant so much to so many. This Christmas, it will hit a little differently... 😢 Rest in peace.🕊 #homealone #christmas #TimCurry #BrendaFricker #CatherineOHara
