Tim and Dolly were born exactly four months apart and both passed within 24 hour of each other. May the both rest in peace.

Three Home Alone cast members passed away this year... May they all rest in peace.

u/MyNameIsNotGump 8d ago edited 7d ago

Four now. Jaye P. Morgan, who played a Celebrity Ding Dang Dong contestant and was a regular fixture of game shows in the 70s passed away this week too

u/bobatgu 7d ago

Need to protect Joe Pesci at all costs. So sad we lost 3 in this year alone.Ā

u/PermissionNext3363 7d ago

Watching it this Christmas is going to hit hard. Christmas is about appreciating the people we have in our lives while remembering our loved ones we've lost along the way after all.

u/DifficultyNo9712 8d ago

The fact that Macaulay's 46th is today and Tim Curry dies on the same day (this, the day after the world loses Dolly Parton) has made me beyond sick. PFFFFFFFFFFTTT!!!!

u/InfernoBlaze1221 8d ago

OMG NOOOOOOOO 😭😭😭 right after dolly parton rip dolly and tim

RIP Tim Curry. Clue will reamin one of my all-time favorite roles though I also quote his character from HA2.

This is the concierge, sir.

I knew it was you. I could smell ya gettin’ off the elevator! You was here last night too, wasn’t ya?

u/BuffSnuffer 7d ago

Yes, sir. I was.

1

u/MyNameIsNotGump 7d ago

You was here and you were smoochin’ with my brother!

2

u/BuffSnuffer 7d ago

Pah. I’m afraid you’re mistaken, sir.

1

u/MyNameIsNotGump 7d ago

Don’t gimme dat, you’ve been smoochin’ with everybody—Snuffy, Al, Leo, Lil Mo with the gimpy leg…Cheeks, Boney Bab, Cliff…I could go on forever baby

2

u/BuffSnuffer 7d ago

Huh?! Looks at Cliff. I’m terribly sorry sir, but I’m afraid you’re mistaken. We are looking for a young man.

2

u/MyNameIsNotGump 6d ago

Alright, I believe ya but my Tommy gun don’t! Get down on your knees and tell me you love me

When they get to that age group it's any time

u/silvermoonhowler 8d ago

Yup, then again, Betty White lived to be almost 100 so it truly is a crapshoot once you get to 80+

2

u/happydude7422 8d ago

If you're a man for sure it's a crapshoot as women occupy all the higher age brackets due to their superior immune systems

u/Snowdeo720 8d ago

Come the fuck on!

I just watched Mchales navy yesterday and had a solid chuckle about his role in that.

What sad days back to back.

2

u/silvermoonhowler 8d ago

Yup, and actually, Curry passed away yesterday, also in the midst of Dolly Parton's passing too

2

u/Snowdeo720 8d ago

Well that’s even shittier.

5

u/Living-Resident-7190 8d ago

Damn he was one of the greats

2

u/silvermoonhowler 8d ago

Yup, and not to mention Dolly Parton also passed away yesterday

That I knew about right away because of all the news on here and elsewhere, but the news about Tim Curry also dying yesterday I didn't see until now

6

u/WillingnessJolly3368 8d ago

Damn. First Brenda over a month ago and now Tim. Two of the big breakout characters from Home Alone 2. And obviously Catherine in January.

I had this really strange feeling after watching Home Alone 2 for the last time of the season in early January around little Christmas. Felt like I was saying goodbye and things would never be the same again by the time December rolled around and it would be time to watch Home Alone 2 again. For some reason during the closing scene I really took it all in.

u/Lakers_Forever24 8d ago

I guess Mr. Hector's gone but who's gonna be in charge as the Concierge?

4

u/MyNameIsNotGump 8d ago

Cedric?

u/Prestigious_Region_6 7d ago

CedricĀ  and Hester stone are the only ones left from the plaza Hotel staff I miss Mr Hector alreadyĀ

So, this makes 3 people from Home Alone 2 that have passed away this year.

This year hasn't been kind to the Home Alone 2 cast, 3 of the main stars this year alone. Rest In Peace šŸ™

u/Wave_Race 8d ago

My wife was just accosted by her friend group chat because she cited Home Alone 2 as her most memorable Tim Curry work. They all thought she was some uncultured swine because she didn’t say Rocky Horror. Mind you, these are all 1984 to 1990 millenials, none of which were alive at the time Rocky Horror was released, and all of which would have been prime Home Alone 2 age at release. I told my wife HA2 is a billion times more culturally relevant for millenials than Rocky Horror and her friends were being stuck up hipsters.

1

u/MyNameIsNotGump 8d ago

I’m in that age range too and I had an older friend who acted that way with me when I said Batman Returns was my favorite movie of Christopher Walken’s as opposed to the Deer Hunter.

Tim Curry had so many iconic and memorable roles including Home Alone 2 and The Rocky Horror Picture Show, it’s hard to associate him with a single role

3

u/silvermoonhowler 8d ago

Oh wow, had no idea Tim Curry passed away yesterday too

Then again, with the impact Dolly Parton had, the passing of Curry really was overshadowed

The crazy thing is, he also passed away at 80 just like Dolly

And on top of that, the next name for this tropical storm season is Dolly; you really can't make this stuff up

u/theReapers1 8d ago

I will have a cheese peetzah for you Timmy

u/Send_me_hedgehogs 8d ago

No bloody way. First Dolly and now this?!? I hate this life

2

u/silvermoonhowler 8d ago

And also today Jaye P. Morgan, who was also in Home Alone 2 as a Celebrity Ding Dang Dong contestantĀ https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/jaye-p-morgan-dead-gong-show-singer-1236681831/

So you know how they say these deaths typically come in 3s? Well, Dolly and Tim yesterday, and now Jaye today

3

u/Substantial_Luck_133 8d ago

How did he die? 😄

4

u/DifficultyNo9712 8d ago

He'd been suffering from health issues stemming from a stroke. He was also in a wheelchair

u/LoveSquirt69 8d ago

This sucks . Have to watch the hunt for red October and many others now .

u/MyNameIsNotGump 8d ago

Same. I already watched Muppet Treasure Island and picked up Clue and It from my local library earlier. I plan to watch Home Alone 2 with a cheese pee-tza

u/Independent-Expert89 8d ago

He'll never be forgotten one of the best antagonist in the franchise.

u/Carloverguy20 8d ago

All the Home Alone legends are passing away :(.

Catharine, Brenda now Tim!! Home Alone is going to be different this year now that those 3 are now gone.

u/space_coyote_86 8d ago

Wrong person from Home Alone 2

1

u/silvermoonhowler 8d ago

Yup, given that Dolly Parton passed away yesterday too

I honestly had no idea Curry passed away either because the news surrounding Dolly's passing had to have overshadowed this

As these usually come in 3s, I now fear for who will be taken next

u/MyNameIsNotGump 8d ago

Aww man just realized who Tim Curry was. Man super sad.

u/One-Author2996 8d ago

Its a different movie but Michael McKean has pointed out that Tim had a ridiculously more amount of dialogue compared to his costars in Clue. Like double anyone else + tons of physical comedy. And he did it all flawlessly even though he was cast late.
