Brenda Fricker, beloved ‘Home Alone 2’ pigeon lady, dead at 81
Brenda Fricker, the actress best known for playing the iconic Pigeon Lady in “Home Alone 2,” has died.
She was 81.
The Oscar winner’s agent confirmed the news to the US Sun on Friday, saying, “We will never see her like again, and the world is lesser for the lack of her.”
The statement continued, “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.”
Fricker’s agent did not immediately respond to Page Six’s request for comment.
Before pursuing acting, Fricker, who was born in Dublin in February 1945, worked as the Irish Times’ art editor’s assistant.
Her first role was in “Of Human Bondage” in 1964.
She acted in multiple theater companies before becoming a household name as Megan Roach in “Casualty,” a character she played for four years — before repeatedly reprising the role.
