Macaulay Culkin took an awards show stage earlier this year to remember the late, great Catherine O’Hara, tenderly calling her “Mom.”
A clear reference to the pair of beloved Home Alone movies, fans still rewatch the actors’ on-screen dynamic every year during the holidays.
Home Alone 2: Lost in New York took viewers across the Big Apple, including inside the Plaza Hotel in Midtown Manhattan.
It’s there that young Kevin McCallister (Culkin) got directions from the real-life Donald Trump, thus turning the businessman into an actor for the memorable cameo. Of course, Trump, 80, would go on to become a TV personality and then our current president.
Speaking of current events, the famed Plaza Hotel just announced it’s now closing for four years for a bit of a face-lift, as The New York Times puts it.
“For more than 119 years, The Plaza Hotel has been an enduring part of New York City’s architectural and cultural heritage,” the hotel’s operators, Fairmont Hotels & Resorts, said in a news release this week. “Since opening its doors in 1907, the hotel has maintained a distinctive place in the city’s history, recognized for its architectural character, exceptional craftsmanship, and enduring presence.”
In effect, the hotel is now advancing plans for repair and restoration works to its landmark-protected façade.
“The scope and complexity of the façade works require detailed planning and coordination with relevant stakeholders, alongside adherence to applicable historic preservation requirements, Fairmont added in its Wednesday, October 14 announcement.
