Macaulay Culkin’s Parents: Get to Know His Mom & Dad

The actor was welcomed by Kit Culkin and Patricia Brentrup in 1980. Find out more about them here.

Kit and Brentrup met a neighbor who was a stage manager at Ensemble Studio Theatre, and were later introduced to casting director Billy Hopkins, who gave Macaulay his first job at 6 years old. Kit’s late partner, Jeanette Krylowski, denied that he was abusive to any of his children, and told New York Magazine that Patricia lied to their kids to alienate them from him. A source told Page Six for a January 16 report that she recently experienced “hard times with her health” and added that Kieran was helping her with medical appointments to address the issues.
