    A truly very talented actress with a heart of gold, wearing the right color red, to "Kevin's" green in this Christmas-time movie. hide show

    Reference her "Home Alone 2: Lost in New York" (1992) that I just saw for the first time tonight (14Jan.06,Sat.8-10:30p.m. on the ABCF Channel 66 here in New Hampshire, U.S.A.), her as the "Central Park Pigeon Woman" great! ...

    ...with the tie-in of the two turtle doves from "Kevin" McCallister, who got them from Mr. E.F. Duncan, played by Eddie Bracken (1915-2002), as the owner of Duncan's Toy Chest.

    ...these two character actors, I'd call them, being an excellent split of the personally of Lew Ayers, as he played the bum who was really a multi-millionaire in the park in the 1960s Doris Day show.

    Yours truly, Joe H.
