Brenda Fricker dies aged 81
Brenda Fricker, the Oscar-winning actress who was well-known for her role as the Pigeon Lady in “Home Alone 2,” has died. She was 81.
wrong octogenarian from home alone 2 died
Not her most famous role but to me, with huge fondness, she will always be Charlie’s mum in So I Married An Axe Murderer
Once again, the wrong star of Home Alone 2 has died.
Never moved from the Liberties in Dublin. When someone asked her why she stayed there, she said that a bloke had come to her front door the other day trying to sell a horse.
Y’all are going to have to be more careful about your manifestations because it looks like all the universe heard was “octogenarian from the cast of Home Alone 2” and I mean what are the chances
Rip my goat, Pigeon lady was chill
Fair enough, seems a little reductive to be remembered as 'pigeon lady', but it really was a brilliant role - a homeless character treated with compassion, not a punchline, and depicted as a good person with bad luck, worthy of love and friendship. RIP.
Uh, she was MAY MACKENZIE in So I Married an Axe Murderer. She was brilliant.
Crazy. She was an Oscar winner but on the announcement of her death she is referred to as the pigeon lady. 🙃 I’d be in the afterlife PISSED.
RIP to a true icon, omg
Brenda Fricker on the British media and Irish celebrities. RIP Queen
No. Put her back and try again.
Ah, shite. RIP to my inspiration as an Irish person in NYC.
Late-80s Ireland was quite exciting in some ways because it felt like we were becoming a real international presence. U2, Euro 87, and Brenda Fricker winning an Oscar. A legend.
If you haven't see it, check out "Brides of Christ" - a drama about Australian nuns in the 1960s. Fricker is one of the main characters and it is one of the best explorations of religion you will ever watch.

An amazing actress! May she rest in peace.
One of the great Irish artists of our time. May she rest in peace.
Ugh, devastating. Rest in Peace, diva 💖
no mention of her as the memorable mother in so i married an axe murderer, may mackenzie 😭 may she be joyfully reading the weekly world news somewhere in the stars
Home Alone 2 is an annual watch at Christmas in our household. RIP
RIP Brenda Fricker. May you rest in peace surrounded by Juice Tigers and Turtle Doves.
Kevin should have given her his hotel room…
Wow, you've turned into a right sexy wee bastard. Do you know that?
Love the Juice Tigers and Turtle Doves, but let's be real, she's probably just hanging with the rest of the Dublin gang from Home Alone 2
But not haggis, because she hates them...

Sam Neill and Brenda Fricker in the same week. Jaysis 😮💨
Us Dundrummers haven't done so bad Brenda Fricker - Ireland's first female Oscar winner Stephen Roche - Ireland's only Tour De France winner & lived round the corner from me Annie Mac Danny O'Donoghue (technically Ballinteer) Me
Oh, I remember reading that at the time. So sad.
Love the line “I’m a bit morbid, I’m Irish” it resonates. We can’t help it.🙂
