Much like Trump’s cameo in “Home Alone 2,” Swanson’s very minor roles in the two Hughes films she listed in her protest tweet aren’t exactly essential to the plots of either movie. She also delivered a very short monologue in “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off” in a classroom scene that Ben Stein is better remembered for than Swanson. Due to her on-going support for Trump — who emboldened rioters at the Capitol on Jan. 6 — Swanson was scorched on Twitter. I was removed from AS GOOD AS IT GETS and BAD SANTA years before Trump even THOUGHT of running for President. Swanson tweeted in 2019 that she and Cain received a “death threat” due to the production.
