Decidedly one of the most beloved and iconic of child stars was Macaulay Culkin. Dominating the 90s most notably with his performance as the young sociopath Kevin McCallister in the first two “Home Alone” films, this role alone would have been enough to keep that smirking troublemaker in our heads forever. And all this was after he had already played (uncredited but memorably) Tim Robbins’ dead son in “Jacob’s Ladder” and one of the kids John Candy was incompetently trying to babysit in another John Hughes comedy classic “Uncle Buck”.
As a child star, and boy was he a big star, he had a few more notable entries in film. First, he appeared playing the doomed first love for Anna Chlumsky in 1991’s extremely successful “My Girl”. It’s too bad he was too old in 1999 to play Cole in “The Sixth Sense” because he already had played a dead kid twice by this point and probably would have been a shoe-in for a kid who can talk to ghosts.
