Brenda Fricker, the Pigeon Lady from ‘Home Alone 2 Lost in New York’ has sadly passed away at the age of 81. Fans everywhere loved her standout character in the film, myself included. Actually, to me, she was the best part.
Brenda Fricker won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress in 1990 for her unforgettable performance as Daniel Day-Lewis’ mother in ‘My Left Foot.’ The role became a highlight of her career and remains one of the performances that secured her place in film history.
Fricker’s agent Phil Belfield paid tribute in a statement, saying, “We will never see her like again and the world is lesser for the lack of her.”
He added, “I was honored to know, love and work with her and she will always have a place in my heart and in the heart of so many film and TV fans the world over.”
For myself and many fans everywhere, she will always be the sweet Pigeon Lady and her memorable scenes with Kevin won’t soon be forgotten.
