The inimitable Culkin charm struck gold, and he surprised everyone by carrying the demanding film with an assured, confident performance. The movie followed eight-year-old Kevin McCallister when his family accidentally forgets him, boarding a Christmas flight to Paris. The child ends up left alone in the Chicago suburbs to battle two bumbling burglars in a film that blended slapstick comedy with a surprising amount of heart. While playing up every child's fantasy of wishing away their family, the film also highlighted the very importance of those troublesome parents and siblings. Although critics objected to the cartoonish violence Culkin dispensed to the would-be robbers (Joe Pesci and Daniel Stern), audiences lapped it up, making the movie one of the biggest box-office hits of all time and Culkin an icon whose mannerisms in the movie - the famous aftershave mirror-scream, for example - became a pop cultural touchstone. Besides dominating the multiplexes for months, in subsequent years the film would became required annual holiday viewing for families, with the original score by John Williams earning a place as a Christmas favorite.

The steamroller success of "Home Alone" and of Culkin in the starring role could not be overstated. The young actor had Hollywood at his feet, and earned him the well-deserved title of the most successful child star since Shirley Temple. For his performance in the film, Culkin won an American Comedy Award, a Young Artist Award, a Golden Globe nomination and the Chicago Film Critics Association Award for Emerging Actor. Suddenly, Culkin was everywhere. He starred on the animated show "WishKid" (NBC, 1991-92) and provided live-action intro segments as well, cueing up each week's tale of a boy and his magical baseball glove; notched a cameo in John Hughes's "Only the Lonely" (1991); and played second banana to Michael Jackson in the singer's highly anticipated "Black or White" music video, blasting George Wendt with a huge speaker and lip-synching a rap. Bonded by their experiences as enormously successful child stars with overbearing stage fathers, Culkin and Jackson became close friends. Tabloids began to speculate on the nature of their friendship, especially when Culkin began spending time at Neverland Ranch. (The ever-unpredictable Jackson would later name Culkin the godfather of his children, born in 1997, 1998 and 2002).

For a supporting role in the comedy/drama "My Girl" (1991), Culkin took home a huge paycheck. Although the film was an unusually smart and tender 1970s coming-of-age story of a young girl, Vada Sultenfuss (Anna Chlumsky), and featured a talented ensemble cast, Culkin was the focus of the film's marketing. This caused a minor controversy when parents who expected to take their children to Culkin's latest comic romp were surprised when his character - Vada's shy sidekick - died of an allergy to bee stings. Even so, critics praised the film on all counts, including Culkin's subtle performance, and the film became much beloved by its target generation. Culkin and Chlumsky even won an MTV Movie Award for "Best Kiss" - Culkin's first, onscreen.

The ubiquitous young movie star hosted an episode of "Saturday Night Live" (NBC, 1975- ) and returned to his iconic role in "Home Alone 2: Lost in New York" (1992). In this sequel, the McCallisters are en route to Florida for the holidays, and determined not to lose their son again. An airport mix-up leaves young Kevin in New York - with his father's credit cards and his old burglar nemeses in hot pursuit. While the movie was an enormous success, more critics complained about the thinly-stretched premise, and the amplified focus on the comical violence dished out by Kevin. The film's financial success assured Culkin's catbird seat in Hollywood for another round of profitable projects, but increasing reports about the controlling, iron-fisted managerial techniques used by his father Kit began to damage his career. In a town famous for ambition and ruthlessness, Kit became one of its most notorious stage parents, brokering Culkin's power to give his other children acting careers as well as making outrageous demands. He strong-armed the studios into giving Culkin the lead as a killer in the dark thriller "The Good Son" (1993), casting his daughter Quinn as the character's sibling, and paying his son a then-jaw-dropping $5 million.
