Home Alone" was released in November of 1990. It was 23 years ago that Kevin McCallister made his family disappear -- well, they actually forgot him at home while they went on vacation in France for Christmas -- but Kevin was happy just the same to have the house all to himself.
What ensued was two glorious hours of Kevin tormenting some would-be robbers until his parents realize what they have done and come racing back home to save their son.
But 23 years is a long time, so where is the cast now? What happened to Kevin and Uncle Frank and Fuller?
Macaulay Culkin - Kevin McCallister
After hitting it big as Kevin McCallister, Culkin became one of the most successful child actors of our time. He reprised his role in "Home Alone 2," then went dark in "The Good Son" and had another hit with "Richie Rich." After 1994, Culkin took a nine-year hiatus from major movies.In the meantime, he married Rachel Miner in 1998, only to divorced in 2002. From 2002 to 2011, Culkin dated "That 70's Show" star Mila Kunis, who is now dating Ashton Kutcher.
Culkin, now 33, still appears in a film from time to time. In 2003, he starred in "Party Monster" as a drug dealer, then in 2011, Culkin was featured in an experimental film "The Wrong Ferarri."
John Heard - Peter McCallister
Heard has been one of the more prolific actors to come from "Home Alone."The man who played Kevin's father was in "The Pelican Brief," "The Sopranos," "White Chicks" and did a couple stints on "Law & Order."
Devin Ratray - Buzz McCallister
Ever wonder whatever happened to Buzz? Of course you have.Kevin's older brother that owned a tarantula, ate all of the cheese pizza and wouldn't let Kevin sleep "in my room if you were growing on my a--" is doing just fine.
Devin Ratray went on to play Mickey in 1993's "Dennis the Menace," had guest roles on "Law & Order," "The Good Wife," and even most recently the movie "Nebraska," which has made its way into the Oscar conversation.
Catherine O'Hara - Kate McCallister
Quite possibly the most successful actor to come from "Home Alone," Catherine O'Hara starred in and was featured in a slew of hits following this Christmas classic. That's what you get for leaving your kid at home while you fly off to France?!From "Wyatt Earp," to playing the mom in "Orange County" and the crazy dog owner in "Best in Show," O'Hara, 59, has definitely made her mark on Hollywood. As recently as 2012, she contributed to "Frankenweenie" and is currently filming "Rememory" alongside "Game of Thrones" star Peter Dinklage.
Michael C. Maronna - Jeff McCallister (Far Left)
Whatever happened to the McCallister who said, "Kevin, you're such a disease."Well, after "Home Alone," Maronna, 36, was memorable as the Bagel Guy in "40 Days and 40 Nights" and even more memorable as Big Pete in "The Adventures of Pete & Pete," a Nickelodeon show that aired from 1993 to 1996.
ALSO, Maronna has a podcast that is a must check out called "The Adventures of Danny & Mike." It features Maronna and his "The Adventures of Pete & Pete" co-star Danny Tamberelli in search of adventures.
Kieran Culkin - Fuller McCallister
Fuller! Easy on the Pepsi!Kieran, now 31, had a pretty solid run in movies like "Father of the Bride" and "She's All That," as Laney Boggs' little brother Simon. Most recently, the younger Culkin was featured in "Scott Pilgrim vs. the World" and "Movie 43."
Gerry Bamman - Uncle Frank McCallister
Bamman, 72, became well known for his role as the cheapskate Uncle Frank, who calls Kevin a "little jerk" after Kevin spills soda all over his pants.After "Home Alone," Bamman had roles in "The Bodyguard," "Sex and the City," "Runaway Jury," and most recently "Damages," opposite Glenn Close.
Bamman has been married to playwright Emily Mann since 1981.
