Macaulay Culkin’s path from child star to troubled figure is marked by tragedy. Despite early fame, his family faced financial strain, living in cramped quarters. Culkin’s relationship with his father was marred by mistreatment and control, worsened by a bitter custody battle
He took legal action to protect his wealth amidst fame’s pressures, retiring early due to paparazzi harassment and public scrutiny. His friendship with Michael Jackson brought solace but also controversy amidst abuse allegations.
After spending much of his childhood on movie sets, serving as a cash cow for his parents, teenage Macaulay Culkin had become burned out. He desperately wanted to take some time off. “I just wanted a little bit of a break. I wanted a summer vacation for the first time in, you know, forever,” Culkin told Time.
As he explained while appearing on “Larry King Live,” the pace at which he was working had taken a toll on him. “I did 14 movies in six years, which is more than two a year, and just kind of pumping them out,” he explained. “And I was at this point where I really wanted to take a break … I always joke, ‘Yeah, I retired at 14.’”
After his “retirement,” Culkin began reveling in living the life of a typical teenager, including going to high school at the Professional Children’s School, which caters to child actors and other kids involved in creative careers. Even though he’d stopped making movies and retreated from Hollywood, his fame remained undiminished, something he realized when he dyed his hair crazy colors. “I did purple and I did pink and I did orange, and they made such a big deal out of it — it was on the cover of People!” he told New York Magazine.
Macaulay Culkin’s older sister, Dakota, was hit by a car while walking in Los Angeles. Just a year older than the “Home Alone” star, she died shortly after the accident. Speaking with Esquire more than a decade later, Culkin reflected on the tragic loss. “She passed away 11 years ago tomorrow,” he said. “Tonight,” he added, as in 11 years to the day, “was the last time I talked to her, and she passed away overnight, kinda thing.”
His helthy was to bad in each year
Pray for him
Researchers are astounded when they see what’s inside a long-lost plane that was recently discovered.
In a remote area of Alaska, researcher Philip responded to a mysterious anonymous letter and set out on a quest to learn the truth about Flight 66, a jet said to have disappeared en way to Japan.
Via hints and local lore, he was guided to a hilly region where the plane’s wreckage might be seen.
The true surprise, though, was what was inside: gold-filled containers, a single bullet that had been squashed, and an oddly vacant cockpit. The mysterious tip-off source behind this revelation remained unidentified even while authorities took action.
While there are still many unanswered questions, Philip’s amazing discovery was made famous in a best-selling book. Although being uncovered, Flight 66 still holds a lot of mysteries, particularly in regards to the mysterious informant.
