Home Alone stars clarify parents' occupations in classic film

The stars of "Home Alone" have addressed the long-standing question about Kevin's parents' occupations. Director Chris Columbus suggested that Kevin's mother, Kate, is a successful fashion designer, which explains their trip to Paris. In contrast, actress Catherine O'Hara described Kate as a loving homemaker with a brief interest in making clothes for her children. She did not focus on the family's wealth while filming. Macaulay Culkin, who played Kevin, shared that he once thought about buying the movie's iconic house to create a themed attraction but chose not to pursue it.
