• Kate Hudson makes money from Home Alone 2 due to royalties
• She reveals she had a small part in the 1992 movie and still receives residuals
• Her role was singing in the chorus and she receives royalties when the film airs on TV
Here is what happened:
Kate Hudson’s role in “Home Alone 2: Lost in New York” may not have been memorable to all fans of the film, but it was enough to earn her royalties whenever it airs on TV. The actress revealed that she had a small part in the hit 1992 movie, which still brings in residual income for her every December due to her contribution to the chorus. Despite her relatively minor role, she continues to profit from the movie even to this day.
In the scene in question, Macaulay Culkin’s character Kevin McAllister sings a solo in his school’s Christmas pageant while his older brother Buzz seizes the opportunity to humiliate him by displaying battery-operated candles behind his ears. Kate, who was about 12 years old when the film was made, sang in the chorus during this scene which continues to earn her royalties years later.
While Kate is not officially credited in “Home Alone 2,” it marked one of her earliest roles in the entertainment industry. Her first credited role came four years later on an episode of the drama series “Party of Five,” and she later made her big screen debut in the 1998 movie “Desert Blue.” As an adult, Kate became known for her roles in films such as “Almost Famous,” “How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days,” and “Fool’s Gold.”
