Brenda Fricker, the actress who plays the famous ‘Pigeon Lady’ from Home Alone 2, would likely not be recognized on the street 32 years after the Christmas classic was released.
In the 1992 film, the Irish actress plays a homeless woman in New York who befriends pigeons and ends up helping Kevin McCallister (Macauley Culkin) defeat the Wet Bandits.
True fans of Home Alone 2 will know that Fricker’s character has a rather scruffy appearance, which is far from how the 79-year-old star looks today.
In 2021, Fricker appeared on an Irish TV show, where she shared details about her quiet life away from the spotlight. “I live a very quiet life, well under the radar, and I drive a tiny car, I have a cottage, that’s it,” the actress revealed on The Tommy Tiernan Show.
“Talking a lot to the wall, talking to the dog, writing poetry, reading books, watching television. Nothing different from anyone else, except being alone so much might make you talk to the wall a little more than most people.”
