Home Alone 2’s “Pigeon Lady” Brenda Fricker Dead at 81 | E! News
Academy Award-winning actress Brenda Fricker, who starred as the Central Park pigeon lady in ‘Home Alone 2: Lost in New York’ alongside Macaulay Culkin, died July 16, her agent confirmed to E! News. She was 81. “It is with much sadness that I share the news that beloved actress Brenda Fricker passed away peacefully last night in Dublin,” her agent said in a statement, noting Fricker’s passing came “after a period of ill health.” Fricker—who became the first Irish woman to ever win an Oscar for her 1989 performance as Mrs. Brown in the Christy Brown biopic ‘My Left Foot’—had recently published her memoir ‘She Died Young’ last year, receiving the Freedom of the City of Dublin honor, which her agent noted she was “particularly thrilled and proud of.” Full Story: https://www.eonline.com/news/1434088/home-alone-star-brenda-fricker-dead-at-81
