Kevin scared him away by using an inflatable clown and a recording of his Uncle Frank singing "Cool Jerk" to make it seem like Hector had walked in on Kevin's father showering. Built right on Central Park’s South East corner, in front of the Pulitzer Fountain, is the Plaza Hotel, which, in the movie, Kevin McCallister makes his temporary home . All those hotel scenes were truly shot within the Plaza’s lobby, halls, and suites, giving many an inside look to one of the ritziest joints in the city. With minor exceptions, a great deal of the plot of Home Alone 2 takes place either within Central Park or a few blocks from its perimeter. While that may seem limiting, the sheer virtue of the park’s size allows for a plethora of locations to choose from. One scene has Harry and Marv, the infamous burglar duo, discussing their plans at Central Park’s Wollman Rink, a winter attraction that still operates today on the South East side of the park.
Another scene, when Kevin McCallister first encounters the Pigeon Lady, takes place in front of Gapstow Bridge, one of the most iconic bridges within the green square. If you want to explore some of the locations Kevin McCallister journeyed through, we list some of the most iconic locations featured in Home Alone 2that you can still visit today. All of the McCallisters are quick to mock Buzz, played by Devin Ratray, for his 'funny-looking' girlfriend before she is eventually seen on screen. The biggest difference in all the cast members is one that few often remember – the actor who played Buzz's elusive girlfriend.

Years active1968–presentTimothy James Curry is an English actor and singer.

The family arrives in New York, and Kate, remembering Kevin's fondness for Christmas trees, finds him making a wish at the Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree. In the early 2000s, Curry was cast in the film adaptation of Charlie's Angels in the role of Roger Corwin, and in the parody film Scary Movie 2 playing Professor Oldman. Curry went on to play Thurman Rice, a supporting role in the biographical film Kinsey. In later years, Curry has mostly performed voice roles for animated films and television series.
Sequels
However, at the suggestion of director Sharman, the character evolved into the diabolical mad scientist and transvestite with an upper-class Belgravia accent. He continued to play the character in London, Los Angeles, and New York City until 1975. Timothy James Curry was born on 19 April 1946 in Grappenhall, Cheshire, the son of school secretary Patricia and Royal Navy chaplain James Curry.

Personal life
Culkin's return was confirmed in May, and the rest of the cast was finalized soon after. Principal photography took place between December 1991 and May 1992, and was done on location in Illinois and New York, including at the Rockefeller Center and the original World Trade Center. I'd say the original is the better film, but my god i absolutely adore 2.
He was nominated for his first Tony Award for this role but lost out to his co-star Ian McKellen, who played Antonio Salieri. In 1982, Curry took the part of the Pirate King in the Drury Lane production of Joe Papp's version of The Pirates of Penzance opposite George Cole, earning enthusiastic reviews. Principal photography took place from December 9, 1991 to May 1, 1992, over a course of 144 days; the film was shot in Winnetka, Illinois; O'Hare International Airport in Chicago; Evanston, Illinois; and New York City.
Fuller McCallister – Kieran Culkin
The setting is just perfect, the traps in that big house were fantastic and went on for longer than the first, the fun with the Talkboy (i had one!) the Pigeon lady, and Tim Curry just made the film better in every way.

No one should expect to make money from the picks and predictions discussed on this website. Speaking of Rockefeller Plaza, this is exactly where the movie comes to its narrative and emotional conclusion, with Kevin reuniting with his mother beneath the lights of the famous Rockefeller Christmas tree. The hotel bill Kevin's family receives at the end of the movie shows that Kevin racked up quite a few room-service charges, including chocolate mousse, flan, and ice cream.
He had originally appeared in the play back in 2007 when it was still a work in progress. Originally, Curry rehearsed the character with a German accent and peroxide blond hair, and later, with an American accent. His theatre accolades include three Tony Award nominations and two Laurence Olivier Award nominations. I do hope your father understands that last night I was simply checking the room to make sure everything was in order.
The same year, he appeared in the comedy mystery film Clue as Wadsworth the butler. Padraig has been writing about film online since 2012, when a friend asked if he'd like to contribute the occasional review or feature to their site. A part-time hobby soon blossomed into a career when he discovered he really loved writing about movies, TV and video games; he even had a little bit of talent for it. He's super modern too, so his favorite movies include Jaws, Die Hard, The Thing, Ghostbusters and Batman. Kevin is with them, but he becomes separated from them while carrying Peter's bag and accidentally boards a flight to New York City.
Kevin also only records a small portion of his uncle's singing, but when he plays the tape back later, a longer version plays. That was the actual number for the hotel, and it's still used today — but with the New York City 212 area code instead of the toll-free 800. There are callbacks to the first movie, including Fuller's coat and the statue outside the house. Crown Princess Mary of Denmark swaps olive swimsuit for a tailored blazer...
One of his biggest acting gigs of the past decade was voice work for the animated comedy Robot Chicken. In 2016, Curry played The Criminologist in the television film remake of The Rocky Horror Picture Show. As in the novelization of the first film, the McCallisters live in Oak Park, Illinois and the crooks are named as Harry Lime and Marv Murchins. The novel also takes place one year after the events of the first film, but the ages of Kevin and his siblings are given as being two years older than the first film. Hughes finished writing the film by February 1991, after signing a six-picture deal with 20th Century Fox.
He went on to become a regular on MTV's reality series Damage Control and starred in episodes of Law & Order and Supernatural. After playing Joe Pesci's onscreen partner in crime, Daniel Stern has maintained regular work in film and TV, though his memorable turn as Marv in the Home Alone series is arguably his most famous. Unlike many of the other actors in the film, Joe Pesci was already a massive star, best known for his portrayal of Tommy DeVito in Goodfellas, which came out just months before Home Alone. O'Hara played the washed-up soap opera actress from 2015 to 2020 on the show, which Eugene created with his son Dan Levy.
The New York flight Kevin boards seems to have two different flight numbers.
The album, produced by Adler, included Curry's rendition of The Supremes' hit "Baby Love". He has also guest starred on other series such as The Tracey Ullman Show, Roseanne, Tales from the Crypt , The Naked Truth, Lexx, Monk, Will & Grace, Psych, Agatha Christie's Poirot and Criminal Minds. Curry's career in theatre was honoured on 7 June 2015 at the Actors Fund's 19th annual Tony Awards Viewing Party, where he was awarded an Artistic Achievement Award. From May to August 2011, Curry was scheduled to portray the Player in a Trevor Nunn stage production of Tom Stoppard's Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead at the Chichester Festival Theatre and then in London. From 26 to 29 April 2012, Tim Curry appeared in Eric Idle's play What About Dick?
