Irish actress Brenda Fricker, who became the first Irish winner of an Oscar and was remembered by audiences for her roles in the films "My Left Foot" and "Home Alone 2", has died at the age of 81. This was reported by the BBC, as conveyed by UNN.

Details

Brenda Fricker was born in Dublin and began her acting career on television and in theatre. She appeared in the Irish soap opera "Tolka Row", the series "Coronation Street", and other television projects.

In 1990, Fricker made history by becoming the first Irish actress to win an Academy Award. She won the award for Best Supporting Actress for her role as the mother of the main character in the film "My Left Foot".

The actress also gained widespread popularity for her role as the woman who fed pigeons in Central Park in the film "Home Alone 2" and befriended the main character Kevin, played by Macaulay Culkin.

"We will never see her like again, and the world is a poorer place without her," said the actress's agent Phil Belfield after news of her death.

He also noted: "It was an honour to know, love and work with her, and she will always have a place in my heart and in the hearts of many film and television fans around the world."

Additionally

Throughout her career, Brenda Fricker also starred in the films "So I Married an Axe Murderer", "Angels in the Outfield", "A Time to Kill", and "Veronica Guerin". In one interview, the actress joked that after winning the Oscar, she experienced the so-called "Oscar curse", as, in her words, it did not always help her get new roles.
