Catherine O’Hara as Kate McCallister
Catherine O’Hara was the quintessential “Mom of the Year” for her iconic role as Kate McCallister in Home Alone. She tucked her mischievous offspring in the attic as she prepped for a family getaway. The next day, in a plot twist no one saw coming, she leaves Kevin snoozing while the family jets off to Europe.
Luckily, members of a polka band become unlikely heroes, offering a lift to a desperate mom on Christmas Eve. They roll up just in time. Having returned home, she trades her past harshness for holiday cheer, apologizing to Kevin for the Paris fiasco. All’s well that ends with a jingle bell!
