'Home Alone' actor to immortalize iconic scene in bronze sculpture
What's the story
Daniel Stern, 68, the actor who famously portrayed Marv Murchins in the Home Alone film, is set to immortalize his most iconic scene in a bronze sculpture. The actor-turned-sculptor revealed to People, "I got a call from the people who own the Home Alone house." "And I'm a sculptor [and] they asked if I would do a sculpture for the house. So I'm creating a sculpture of me and the spider." He added that this would be his first self-portrait.
Sculpture details
Stern's sculpture will feature him and the spider
Stern shared more about the sculpture, saying, "Which is gonna be kind of crazy - so it'll be at the Home Alone house so that spider whatever his name was - 'Charlie' - is being immortalized in bronze." He humorously added that he has made himself look better in the sculpture than he does in real life.
Future plans
Stern hopes to see sculpture displayed in person
Stern expressed his excitement about the project, saying it has been "really fun" and he hopes to see the sculpture displayed in person. He said, "I'm going to ship it but they might have like an unveiling or something.... it would be crazy to be in [the house.] That house is like a tourist attraction." The house, used for exterior shots of the Hollywood classic, Home Alone, is located in Winnetka, Illinois, and reportedly sold for $5.5 million.
