Her character ends up helping young Kevin, played by Macaulay Culkin.The plot follows Kevin as he navigates a series of mishaps in the city after his parents, played by Catherine O'Hara and John Heard, unintentionally leave him behind during their holiday for the second time.

Brenda previously appeared on The Tommy Tiernan Show, where she discussed her career and her decision to step away from the spotlight, reports the Mirror. "I live a very quiet life well under the radar and I drive a tiny car, own a cottage, that's about it.

Talking to the wall quite a bit, talking to the dog, writing poetry, reading books, watching television. Nothing different than anybody else does, except being alone so much can make you talk to the wall a bit more than most people," she said.When discussing her decision to take a break from acting, Tiernan asked the Home Alone 2 star about her mental health.
