‘Home Alone 2’ actress who played ‘pigeon lady’ says Christmas will be ‘very dark’ for her and others living alone

Brenda Fricker, who portrayed the sweet “pigeon lady” who befriended young Kevin McCallister (Macaulay Culkin) on his trip to New York, recently revealed that Christmastime “can be very dark” for people who, like her, live on their own.

Though she’s “hanging on like everyone else” during coronavirus, the actress, 75, told “The Ray D’Arcy Show” on Monday: “I think I would be lying if I said that it would be a nice and happy Christmas, because I’m one of those people, I’m old and I live alone, and it’s going to be very dark, you know?”

But Christmas isn’t the most difficult time to be on one’s own, said the actress. “What I do find very difficult is New Year’s Eve ... all the bells are ringing and you have no one to turn around to, hug or smile at ...”
