Randy Herman20The wrong Home Alone 2 actor has died
Giggy7Wrong Home Alone 2 actor!!!
Ian Ford 🇪🇺 🇺🇦2Lived in the Liberties, a real working class area of Dublin and used to treat visitors to takeaway fish and chips with a bottle of wine. Reputedly used her Oscar as a doorstop. www.youtube.com/watch?v=8a2J...
Officer Goodsnatch1I’m so happy she was able to pass in her home city, sad that she had to go though

Bo Bolander 16well, shit. always memorable when she showed up in something. what a pisser of a week
Joey McAllister8She was so good as Mike Myers’ mom. And wife.
Cozy Eb7That other Home Alone 2 actor is RIGHT THERE my goodness! What did we do to deserve this timeline?? RIP to an amazing actress.
Guthrie Edson4I generally wasn’t the biggest fan of the religious overtones of this movie, but I still cry like a baby at several scenes, Maggie’s speech here included (especially given the stakes).
CB Blackwell4Send out the turtle doves for this one... 🕊🕊🕊
Sassy Black Neighbor Is Talkin' Square Biz To Ya, Baby3I'm still upset the McCallisters had all that money and still left this lady to freeze on the streets. Kevin should've passed her several many Benjamins instead of some damn ceramic turtledoves.
Ari is afraid to change pfp now3Aww this is sad. :(
L. Anthony Graham2Another really good movie she was in called Masterminds, she plays a school principal and Patrick Stewart is exceptional as the main bad guy. It's kinda hard to find, but I love it.
Lydia (patiently waiting for fall)2Look, Mr. Reaper, you grabbed the WRONG person from that movie. Get your shit together.

Rita8I love how you appreciate so many things in what you do. Not sure I'm saying it so it can be understood, but you appreciating is cool
Mascarpwn. 🇵🇷4She absolutely stole every scene in So I Married an Axe Murderer.
Michael Buckelew4I just gave So I Married An Axe Murderer a rewatch in her honor. Was excited to see her in that after discovering her in Home Alone 2. Just recently rewatched A Time To Kill as well. She was outstanding in everything.
Tracy L Cooper 📎3She was fantastic in My Left Foot.
Anne Helfrich3Holding is a slow burn gem. The performances are so on point.
ThomWeightless2Absolutely perfect as Mrs McKenzie in So I Married an Axe Murderer, too.
Brenda Fricker on the British media and Irish celebrities. RIP Queen
keithstrasse.bsky.social10Commentary years ago on Barry McGuigan in a boxing match along the lines of: "the British boxer is going to take this, the British Boxer is going to take this.....oh no the Irishman is down."
AScottishBookCollector5My Da pointed that out to me years ago when England and Scotland were both in the World Cup. The press kept talking about the the English team and the Scottish team, but when the English were eliminated and Scotland was still a contender - Scotland became "the British team" t'was ever thus
humorhelps.bsky.social2i love her, she showed us many lovely things. RIP ❤️
Dan.G 🇬🇧🇪🇺2Yeah... i noticed something similar with Andy Murray being Scottish or British depending on how well he did. Fuck the haters. I love my fellow countrymen, whether tgey be Scots, Welsh, Irish or otherwise... they make Britain better.
Lee Hurley56No. Put her back and try again.
AL Kaline 🇮🇪 🍉11Ah, shite. RIP to my inspiration as an Irish person in NYC.
bleary7Late-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.
Bold New Mancunian Future3"lying drunk at the airport" is one of those phrases that you know is based in something that really happened. It's too specific.
Spyro the Antifascist Dragon2If 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.
Oscar-winning Irish actress Brenda Fricker, best known for her roles in My Left Foot and Home Alone 2: Lost In New York, has died aged 81, her agent said

Philip O'Connor17One of the great Irish artists of our time. May she rest in peace.
Chels11Ugh, devastating. Rest in Peace, diva 💖
Ciarán O'Rourke5Sorry to hear that Brenda Fricker has died 🎬 I wrote this review of her film ‘The Swallow’ last year (for @headstuff.bsky.social): “an imagined memoir, rippling with emotion even as it unfolds quietly, as though in meditation.” #RIP headstuff.org/entertainmen...
The Mixed Reviews4We just watched her in a scene stealing role in A Time to Kill. RIP, Brenda Fricker, a true talent!
Jan Stinchcomb4RIP Brenda Fricker I loved her in So I Married an Axe Murderer.

Declan Harte2Home 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.
Shawn Robare9Kevin should have given her his hotel room…
Amra_the_Lion4Wow, you've turned into a right sexy wee bastard. Do you know that?
Jeff Goodridge🐐🎶💨💓👻🇨🇦3But not haggis, because she hates them...
Eric Malcolm3"You've got a pickle in your ass"
KUNA3Love 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

NEW: Brenda Fricker, Oscar-winning actress known for her role as the ‘pigeon lady' in ‘Home Alone 2,’ dies at 81.
Martin Robertson9'pigeon lady' The picture shows her getting an OSCAR for Best Supporting Actress in "My Left Foot"
christiancults.bsky.social1Cloudburst, with Olympia Dukakis and Brenda Fricker was wonderful LGBT movie with lots of they're both gone. Sad
Jessica Ellis56Sounds a lot like that’s what the person who wrote this knows her from. She’s literally holding an Oscar! She had a long, incredible career! So sad to see her go.
Zach Goldberg51. You have space to fit "My Left Foot" in the post. 2. Lowkey, she's great in So I Married An Axe Murderer
Aaron Frey2Didn't realize she was an Oscar winner. This only adds to the clout of the cast of "Angels in the Outfield."
