"My Left Foot" and "Home Alone 2" star Brenda Fricker has died at 81 years old.
Fricker became the first Irish actress to win an Oscar when she took home the supporting prize for "My Left Foot." She is perhaps best remembered by general audiences as the Pigeon Lady from “Home Alone 2: Lost in New York.”
Fricker’s agent, Phil Belfield, confirmed her death to the BBC on Friday: “We will never see her like again and the world is lesser for the lack of her,” he said in a statement. “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.”

Bryan Cranston remembers Catherine O’Hara during his #ActorsOnActors conversation with Rhea Seehorn:
“Oh, we miss her so much. I played Catherine O’Hara’s husband in three different productions, and then she was my nemesis in ‘The Studio.’ I miss her so much. She was such a joy to be with. Catherine O’Hara was someone you not only marveled at for her comedic chops, but when it was ‘cut,’ you’d say, ‘I want to sit next to Catherine.’ It was just heartbreaking to lose her.”
