From Child Star to Hollywood Icon: Macaulay Culkin’s Historic Walk of Fame Recognition

A Legacy Cemented in Hollywood History

Once the child actor who was ‘Lost in New York’ and ‘Home Alone,’ Macaulay Culkin has now been cemented into Hollywood history, receiving his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, marking an impressive 40 years in show business.

Star-Studded Ceremony

The ceremony, held at 6353 Hollywood Boulevard, was attended by notable figures including Catherine O’Hara, his ‘Home Alone’ co-star, Natasha Lyonné, his castmate from ‘Party Monster,’ and his partner, Brenda Song, known for her Disney Channel roles.

‘Home Alone was, is, and always will be a beloved global sensation,’ O’Hara declared during the ceremony. ‘The reason families all over the world can’t let a year go by without watching Home Alone together is because of Macaulay Culkin.’ She praised his ‘perfect performance as Kevin McCallister’ that created the enduring character of an everyday boy on an extraordinary adventure.

Personal Achievements and Growth

Beyond acting, Culkin has diversified his career as the founder of Bunny Ears, a new media empire featuring a podcast website, live events, and merchandising components. His recent work includes appearances in American Horror Story: Installment 10 for FX and The Righteous Gemstones for HBO Max.

During the ceremony, Culkin gave an emotional speech about his partner, Brenda Song, saying, ‘You’re absolutely everything. You’re my champion, you’re the only person happier for me today than I am. You’re not only the best woman I’ve ever known, but you’re the best person I’ve ever known. You’ve given me all my purpose. You’ve given me family.’

Legacy and Impact

Culkin’s performance in his breakout role earned him a Golden Globe nomination and won him an American Comedy Award and a Young Artist Award. Today, he remains committed to giving back, actively supporting charities such as the San Diego Zoo Wildlife Alliance and Stand Up To Cancer.
