Use mainstream music on YouTube like Dodford does at https://go.lickd.co/Dodford-Xmas ~ In 1990, Macaulay Culkin became the most famous child on the planet. With Home Alone shattering box office records, his ascent to superstardom seemed unstoppable. But behind the festive cheer and global adoration was a darker reality—one of exploitation, control, and the crushing weight of childhood fame. For years, the world watched and wondered: would Macaulay become another Hollywood tragedy? Or could he rise above it all and escape the melting spotlight? This is the story of the man, who despite all odds, shouldn’t be here. ~ Written & Edited by Danny McMahon ~ 0:00 - Macaulay Culkin: The Candle is Lit 1:00 - I - Sparks of Stardom: Early Life & Work 3:20 - II - Burning Bright: Home Alone 6:22 - III - The Melting of Macaulay Culkin 9:47 - IV - Snuffed Out: Hiding Away 13:39 - V - Wax & Ashes: Fame's Toll 16:20 - VI - Rekindled: Legacy & Family ~ 🎵 Music licensed from Lickd.
