She reprised the role in 2024’s “Beetlejuice.”In 1990’s “Home Alone,” O’Hara turned a one-word movie line (“KEVIN!”) into pop culture history. As a frazzled mom of five who left one of her brood (Macaulay Culkin) at home during their holiday trip to France, O’Hara brought heart and humour to the now classic Christmas movie. Just two years ago, O’Hara showed up to the Walk of Fame ceremony as her on-screen son Culkin, received his star. “Thank you for including me, your fake mom who left you home alone not once, but twice, to share in this happy occasion,” O’Hara told him. Star Pedro Pascal called O’Hara a “genius” on a tribute posted to his Instagram page.
