One of the happier narrative arcs in Hollywood belongs to Macaulay Culkin, who shot to superstardom as a kid in the 1990 smash Home Alone.

Macaulay Culkin

It's hard to endure the fame machine at only IO years old, but Culkin turned out OK. These days, he lives in Los Angeles with his partner, Brenda Song, another former child star (Disney's The Suite Life of Zack & Cody), and their two little boys.

After years of distancing himself from Home Alone’s Kevin McCallister, the precocious boy left behind on a family Christmas trip to Paris, Culkin has learned to accept his fate as the (screaming) face of a generation. On Nov. 30, he brings “Home Alone: A Nostalgic Night With Macaulay Culkin” to the Texas Trust CU Theatre in Grand Prairie. The evening includes an onstage interview with the star and a screening of the comedy, which has become a holiday classic, the millennial version of It's a Wonderful Life.
