The art of the Christmas film was changed forever on November 16, 1990. It was then that Home Alone received its wide release (after premiering in Chicago the prior week), and the movie became an instant phenomenon. It shattered box office records and remains a classic to this day. Not a Christmas goes by without this movie playing on cable or YouTube channels uploading a video in which they analyze the injuries.

Time certainly has a penchant for flying, and Home Alone is now 31 years old. A lot changes in 31 years, as evident by the lives of the cast and crew.

Macaulay Culkin

Born on August 26, 1980, Macaulay Culkin was just 10 years old when Home Alone was released. Making the passage of time sting just a little bit more, Culkin is now 41. After a long hiatus, Culkin has returned to acting.

In 2021, he starred as Mickey in the tenth season of American Horror Story, titled American Horror Story: Double Feature. He also hosts a pop culture podcast titled Bunny Ears. On April 5, 2021, Culkin and his girlfriend, Brenda Song, welcomed a son named Dakota Song Culkin.

Joe Pesci

A supporting actor who consistently steals the show, Joe Pesci has starred in some of the most critically acclaimed films of all time. 1990 was certainly an odd year, as Pesci oscillated between Goodfellas and Home Alone (which were released just two months apart).

Like Culkin, Pesci also took a very long hiatus from acting, as he all but disappeared after Lethal Weapon 4 in 1998. However, he made a spectacular comeback with 2019’s The Irishman, earning his third Academy Award nomination.

Daniel Stern

Joining Joe Pesci was Daniel Stern, who played the junior and more moronic burglar, Marv. Since Home Alone, Stern has found a lot of work as a sculptor and was even an artist in residence at Camarillo’s Studio Channel Islands Art Centre. Of course, he has also continued acting.

In 2019, he produced and starred in a Canadian sci-fi comedy called James vs. His Future Self. He has also done a lot of work on television, and in 2019 starred in eight episodes of the Hulu comedy Shrill.

John Heard

Kevin’s father doesn’t get a whole lot to do, but the character is bolstered by the presence of John Heard. Heard would later find even greater success after Home Alone, even earning an Emmy nomination by playing Vin Makazian in The Sopranos.

He had one of the first major deaths of the series, and it put a tragic cap on the end of the first season. Unfortunately, Heard suffered a fatal heart attack on July 21, 2017 and passed away. He was 71 years old.

Catherine O’Hara

Kevin’s mother played a far more important role in the story, as she was far more concerned and much more active in returning to Kevin. Kate McAllister was played by the wonderful Canadian actress, Catherine O’Hara.

Nowadays, O’Hara is renowned for playing washed-up actress Moira Rose in Schitt’s Creek. The show aired six seasons between 2015 and 2020 and earned consistent critical acclaim. In 2020, O’Hara won the Emmy for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series.

Devin Ratray

While there are about a thousand kids in Home Alone, Buzz easily makes the biggest impression. This bully was played to wonderful perfection by Devin Ratray. Now 44 years old, Ratray has continued to act in film and television.

He had a recurring role as Tinfoil Kevin on The Tick and recently appeared in four episodes of Chicago Med. Film wise, Ratray appeared as Stephen in the beloved 2019 crime comedy Hustlers. But perhaps most amazingly, Ratray reprised the character of Buzz McAllister after nearly 30 years by playing him in Disney+’s Home Sweet Home Alone.

Chris Columbus

Chris Columbus’s movies are widely beloved. One of the most robust directors in the industry, Columbus has overseen the likes of Home Alone, Mrs. Doubtfire, and the first two Harry Potter films.

After taking a five-year hiatus from directing, Columbus returned in 2020 with the Netflix Christmas comedy The Christmas Chronicles 2. Nowadays, Columbus seems more interested in producing. He owns the production company 1492 Pictures and has recently produced the likes of The Lighthouse and Scoob!

John Hughes

John Hughes was the primary creative force behind Home Alone. Not only did he write the script, but he solely produced the film through his production company, Hughes Entertainment. All the work paid off, as Home Alone instantly became one of the best John Hughes movies (and that’s saying something).

Unfortunately, Hughes did not live to see its 20th anniversary. He tragically passed away in 2009 after suffering a heart attack on the streets of Manhattan. He was just 59 years old.

Raja Gosnell

Editing is an underrated aspect of filmmaking. To help create Home Alone, Hughes hired acclaimed editor Raja Gosnell. Gosnell frequently collaborated with director Chris Columbus, having edited the first two Home Alone films and Mrs. Doubtfire.

Gosnell stopped editing in 1995, with his final credit being the Hugh Grant-led Nine Months. Instead, Gosnell has turned to directing. He directed the first two Smurfs films, and in 2021 co-directed a movie called Gun and a Hotel Bible alongside Alicia Joy LeBlanc.

John Williams

Home Alone earned two Oscar nominations, and both came courtesy of composer John Williams. His score was nominated for Best Original Score, and “Somewhere in My Memory” was nominated for Best Original Song (he wrote the music).

Williams turned 89 in 2021, yet he is still working like he’s 29. He has composed four Star Wars films since 2015 – the core three and Solo: A Star Wars Story. He also did the music for Steven Spielberg’s The Post and is currently working on the fifth Indiana Jones film, which is slated for release in 2023.
