They’re the showbiz family that’s produced household names like Macaulay Culkin, 43, and Kieran Culkin, 41.
But the famed pair share five other siblings who are much lesser known, including actor brother Rory Culkin.
And it was Macaulay’s father Kit, who tried to push all six of the superstar’s siblings into an onscreen career.
However most of Macaulay’s sibling’s have preferred a life out of the limelight.
In the wake of Kieran’s Golden Globe triumph this week for his memorable role in HBO’s Succession, we take a look at the secret lives of the Culkin clan.

Jennifer Adamson
Born in 1970, Jennifer was Macaulay’s half-sister and the only Culkin not to go into show business.
Kit Culkin shared Jennifer with Adeena Van Wagoner with whom he had a relationship before marrying Macaulay’s mother, Patricia Brentrup.
Sadly, Jennifer died of a drug overdose in 2000, aged just 29.
At the time of her passing Jennifer was building a career as a carer for those with disabilities.
It was Macaulay’s father Kit, who tried to push all six of Macaulay’s siblings into an on screen career – but most have stayed out of the limelight Pictured: Kit and Patricia with six of their seven children in the 1990s.

Shane Culkin
Shane, 48, is Macaulay’s oldest brother.
Known to avoid a high profile today, it was Shane who was actually the first Culkin to hit the spotlight.
As a would-be actor the handsome performer appeared in a Broadway New York production of the stage play Our Town in 1988… three years before younger brother Macaulay shot to fame in Home Alone.
Kit, who managed his children’s careers, would send Macaulay to auditions with Shane.
And reports later surfaced that adorable Macaulay would ‘steal’ the role intended for his older brother as casting director’s found the younger Culkin just too irresistible.

Dakota Culkin
Macaulay’s older sister Dakota was born in 1978.
After her dad encouraged her to try acting, Dakota, who went by the family nickname ‘Cody’, opted for a career behind the scenes.
Moving to Hollywood in the late Naughties, Dakota took a role on a horror film called Lost Soul in the production design department and worked as an assistant.
Later the films director Dana Schroeder told The List that Dakota was determined to build a career as a filmmaker.
However Dakota’s life was cut short in 2008 when she died after being hit by a car.
Reports confirmed that the bright young woman was struck as she crossed the road after a night out at a bar in Marina De Rey in Los Angeles.
A spokesman for the LAPD later declared that Dakota had died in hospital after suffering massive head injuries in the accident on Tuesday night.
When Macaulay’s son was born in 2021 he named him Dakota, after his beloved late sister.

Macaulay’s sister Quinn, 39, started off as a child star, appearing as a voice actor with her Home Alone star brother in the animated series Wish Kid in 1991.
She co-starred with Macaulay again in The Good Son in 1993, but in the end escaped show business for the quiet life.
Before those roles keen eyed fans could spot Quinn in one of the airport scenes featured in Home Alone.
Most reports indicate that Quinn is reluctant to reveal much about her private life or career.
However, she did made headlines last month in a rare appearance when she joined Macaulay as he received a star on Hollywood’s Walk of Fame.

Rory sent hearts pounding in the horror-thriller in an infamous scene in which his character’s penis is seen pressed up against a glass bowl of strawberries.
Like his more famous brothers, Rory began as a child star, and even appeared with Macaulay in The Good Son, way back in 1993.
His more recent roles include appearing in Netflix series Black Mirror and the Disney+ series Under The Banner of Heaven.
