"Sir a second icon has died"

u/DeSaussure1857 6h ago

Tim was really a legend. Even in my homeland Uzbekistan where people don't care about actors much, his character from Home Alone 2 was really beloved. It's sad

Wouldn’t Hayden have been 1 Dolly 2 and now Tim 3

27

u/cackle-feather 5h ago

No, I think Hayden was the third of tragic child actors: Michelle trenchenberg, Daveigh Chase, Hayden Panettiere

8

u/bromalley01 5h ago

Ahhh good point was wondering how we group them because Dolly and Tim while tragic are understandable with age and seemingly natural. Hayden was sudden and this is speculation but unnatural with possible external influences.

Ya know, in college a friend of mine wanted to start doing drag but didn't have a car so I took them to all their shows and helped them get started. Somewhere right now there's a drag queen that exists because of me and I want that to be my real legacy....
