In Central Park, Kevin encounters and eventually befriends the pigeon lady, who takes him to Carnegie Hall. She explains how her life collapsed when her lover left her; Kevin encourages her to trust people again. After considering her advice that he perform a good deed to make up for his misdeeds, and recalling Mr. Duncan's intent to donate to the hospital, he decides to prevent Harry and Marv from robbing the store. On Christmas Eve, Kevin visits a toy store whose kindly owner, Mr. Duncan, plans to donate the day's sale proceeds to a children's hospital. After Kevin makes a donation, Mr. Duncan gives him a pair of ceramic turtledoves in thanks, instructing him to give one to another person as a gesture of eternal friendship.

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.

Mr. Duncan — Eddie Bracken

Numerous board games were also released, some based around play cards, while another was a close emulation of the classic Mouse Trap. While the film featured the first film's theme song "Somewhere in My Memory", it also contained its own theme entitled "Christmas Star". Two soundtrack albums of the film were released on November 20, 1992, with one featuring Williams' score and the other featuring contemporary Christmas songs featured in the film. Ten years later, a 2-disc Deluxe Edition of the film score soundtrack was released. In February 1991, the Los Angeles Times reported that John Hughes was to sign a six-picture deal with 20th Century Fox; among the projects was a sequel to Home Alone.

While this toy store is not real, Duncan’s Toy Chest was based on the real life stores of F.A.O. Schwarz (the toy store featured in 1988’s Big), which have had a long and interesting history. Claiming to be one of the first toy stores in the country, F.A.O Schwarz first opened in Baltimore in 1862 before moving to New York City, where it hopped between several addresses. That is until 1931, when F.A.O Schwarz opened its signature location on 745 Fifth Avenue, which operated for, coincidentally, 55 years. Today, F.A.O Schwarz has locations all over the world, and its New York City headquarters can be found in 30 Rockefeller Plaza. He also stars as Pete Davidson's grandfather in Bupkis, the forthcoming Peacock comedy series based on a fictionalized version of Davidson's life. Despite other successful roles in films such as Casino, My Cousin Vinny, Gone Fishin' and Lethal Weapon 3 and 4, the actor kept out of the limelight after 1999, announcing his retirement from acting to focus on his music career.

The Blue Lagoon: zo gaat het 42 jaar later met de cast

On Christmas morning, a truckload of free gifts arrives at the McCallisters' hotel room, sent from a grateful Mr. Duncan for foiling the robbery. Kevin reconciles with his family, and goes to Central Park to give one of his turtledoves to the pigeon lady, cementing their friendship. Here she is pictured at a movie premiere in December 2018 in New York City.

Every other address shown in the book is in Chicago, where the McCallisters live. Kevin watches and uses audio from "Angels With Even Filthier Souls" to trick the hotel staff. The writer of "Home Alone 2," John Hughes, also wrote and directed "The Breakfast Club,"which starred Ally Sheedy as Allison Reynolds. There's an ornamental statuein front of the McCallisters' driveway that was knocked over by a pizza deliverer's car, a police car, and an airport van in the first movie.

Kevin passes Empire Diner, which has been featured in other movies.

Towards the end of his life he also continued to act on the stage, appearing in Follies, The Student Prince and Carousel. ©2022 Hearst UK is the trading name of the National Magazine Company Ltd, 30 Panton Street, Leicester Square, London, SW1Y 4AJ. Registered in England. It’s basically the first movie, but set in New York and with more extreme traps.

It’s French Renaissance style, as well as its proximity to Central Park, made it a New York icon from the moment of its compilation, and has hosted some of the most famous people across the world and history. Though his role as the awful, bullying big brother Buzz in Home Alone was his most enduring role, Devin Ratray has appeared in plenty of films. Stern appeared in the 2019 film James vs His Future Self and also plays Bill, the father of lead Annie , in the Hulu series Shrill.

Kevin rigs the townhouse with booby traps, catches Harry and Marv in the process of robbing the store, and breaks its front window to set off the burglar alarm. After taking their picture, he lures them to the townhouse where they repeatedly injure themselves in the traps. Kevin evades them, calls the police from a pay phone to alert them to the pair's presence, and flees toward Central Park. Harry and Marv catch him after he slips on ice and prepare to kill him, but the pigeon lady throws a bucket of birdseed onto them, attracting a massive flock of pigeons and incapacitating the pair until the police arrive to arrest them. Kevin slips away, leaving photographic and tape-recorded evidence against Harry and Marv, and Mr. Duncan recovers the donation money and finds a note from Kevin explaining why he broke the window.

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. His elder sister, Judith, was a concert pianist who died of a brain tumour in 2001. After his father's death, his family moved to South London, where he went to boarding school before attending Kingswood School in Bath, Somerset.

While 1992's Home Alone 2 is essentially a bigger-budget retread of the original - right down to key plot beats - it's still an entertaining ride and holds a lot of nostalgia for viewers of a certain generation. Outside of the inherent cartoony nature of the movie's violence, where Harry and Marv survive a borderline Looney Tunes amount of physical punishment, it's almost easy to overlook the fact they both really want to kill Kevin.

Curry also appeared in the "Dead Dog Records" storyline of the television series crime drama Wiseguy, as Winston Newquay. He also had recurring roles on the short-lived science fiction television series Earth 2 and the sitcom Rude Awakening. In the mid-1980s, Curry performed in The Rivals and in several plays with the Royal National Theatre of Great Britain, including The Threepenny Opera, Dalliance and Love For Love. In 1988, he did the national tour of Me and My Girl in the lead role of Bill Snibson, a role originated on Broadway by Robert Lindsay and followed by Jim Dale. In 2001, he appeared as Scrooge in the musical version of A Christmas Carol that played at Madison Square Garden. In 1981, Curry formed part of the original cast in the Broadway show Amadeus, playing the title character, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.

Despite the bathroom door already being open, Uncle Frank's singing isn't heard until Kevin enters the room.

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.

The concierge at the Plaza confronts Kevin about his use of Peter's credit card, now reported as stolen; Kevin flees the hotel but is caught by the Wet Bandits. Marv mentions his and Harry's plan to rob the store before Kevin escapes in an encounter with a passerby. After Kevin's family in New York, they confronted Hector and the staff for letting him check-in without an adult, being fooled by his story, and for making Kevin flee the hotel. When they tried to question him about the credit card, Hector took great pride in this, but the McCallisters were unimpressed. Kevin's mother Kate blamed him for making Kevin leave, and slapped him for this foolishness.

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.
