Brenda Fricker: The sad fate of the “Kevin – Alone in New York” star

“Kevin – Alone in New York” star Brenda Fricker is not looking forward to Christmas. The actress, who embodied the “dove woman” in the cult film, is all alone.

What a beautiful prospect when you watch the television program for the coming Christmas days. On Christmas Eve we can make ourselves comfortable after the presents at “Kevin – Alone at home” on Sat.1, on Christmas Day we can then watch the sequel “Kevin – Alone in New York”, two real Christmas classics.

Leading actor Macaulay Culkin, 40, became a child star at the age of only ten, and then the world saw him fall into drug addiction. In the meantime, the actor has recovered. Another actress from the “Kevin” films is not doing as well.

“Taubenfrau” Brenda Fricker is widowed and alone

Brenda Fricker, who played the homeless “Pigeon Woman” in “Kevin – Alone in New York”, starred in several other roles in major Hollywood productions and was married to director Barry Davies. But since 1991 she has been widowed and alone. It is particularly bad this year because of the corona crisis.

“I would be lying if I said that it would be a nice and happy Christmas because … I am old and live alone. It can be very dark,” said the now 75-year-old Irish woman in the “Ray D ‘ Arcy Show “. She goes into hiding at home, turn off the phone, lower the blinds and sit down with her dog in front of the television. But New Year’s Eve is even worse than Christmas for the retired actress.

Sad fate after the great success

“I don’t find Christmas too difficult. What I find very difficult is New Year’s Eve”. The reason is the local church bells that ring at midnight. Then she has no one to hug or at least smile at.

A sad fate that Brenda Fricker connects with her most famous role, the “Pigeon Woman” from “Kevin – Alone in New York”.
