You’re the only person happier for me today than I am. You’re not only the best woman I’ve ever known, you’re the best person I’ve ever known.”
Actress Catherine O’Hara also praised the actor who played her son in the famous Home Alone movie and said, “‘Home Alone’ was, is and always will be a beloved global sensation.
