Her sons are among the most recognizable actors in show business: Home Alone star Macaulay and recent Oscar-winner Kieran Culkin.
Yet their ailing mother Patricia Brentrup, 70, is living a world apart, strapped for cash and in need of caregiving help in her modest, one-story ranch-style home across the street from a junkyard on the outskirts of Billings, Montana-–where visits from her famous sons are few and far between. Even with help from his daughter, Cox is finding it a struggle to care for Brentrup, his high-school sweetheart whom he married in 2011. years after she ended what insiders have described as an abusive, relationship with former actor Kit Culkin, with whom she had seven kids.
