Personality[]

Kate McCallister is a loving and devoted mother, who will go to great lengths to keep her son safe and sound. Despite her best efforts to prepare for a nice family vacation, she is initially stressed out and overwhelmed.

Although lacking in street smarts, Kate is extremely protective of her son, Kevin, and will go to great lengths to keep him safe. She is easily fooled by Buzz's fake apology, causing her to become neglectful to Kevin's needs.

When Kate realizes her mistake, she is overcome with remorse. She is determined to make things right and won't let anything stand in her way. She rushes out at a moment's notice, frantic with worry, and jumps at any challenge that threatens her kin.

Kate McCallister is a panicky yet maternal woman who strives for the best for her son. Despite her flaws, her love and concern for her family know no bounds.

Trivia[]

  • In Home Alone, Kate's hairstyle is shoulder-length, but in Home Alone 2: Lost in New York, her hairstyle resembles Bulma's hairstyle from Dragon Ball GT.
  • Sandy Duncan, Geena Davis, Michelle Pfeiffer, and Sean Young were all considered for the role of Kate McCallister before Catherine O'Hara was cast.
