Catherine O'Hara Challenges 'Home Alone' Director on McCallister Family's Wealth

The actress offers a different perspective on her character's profession compared to director Chris Columbus' explanation.

Director Chris Columbus stated that Kate McCallister, played by Catherine O'Hara, was envisioned as a successful fashion designer, referencing mannequins in the movie as evidence.
O'Hara disagrees, suggesting her character viewed the mannequins as part of a short-lived homemaking hobby rather than a professional pursuit.
Columbus also speculated that Peter McCallister, the father, might have worked in advertising, dismissing fan theories of organized crime connections.
The real-life 'Home Alone' house in Winnetka, Illinois, recently sold for $5.5 million, reflecting its iconic status in cinematic history.
The 1990 holiday classic continues to spark interest, with cast members reuniting and Macaulay Culkin joking about turning the house into a 'movie fun house.'
