Kate Hudson still gets 10-cent residual checks from “Home Alone 2”

One of her first on-screen roles was singing in the sequel's Christmas choir.

Old work can still pay off. Although it's not one of her better-known roles, Kate Hudson says that her appearance in Home Alone 2: Lost in New York still pays her residuals, even if she's only earning a dime.

During a conversation on her podcast, Sibling Revelry, hosted alongside her brother Oliver Hudson, Kate discussed her earliest credits with fellow famous siblings Joey Lawrence, Matthew Lawrence, and Andy Lawrence.

"I still get residuals from Home Alone 2 because I sang in the chorus," Kate said, referencing the early scene where Macaulay Culkin's Kevin McAllister ruins a school Christmas pageant. "I'm in that chorus, and then I get 10 cents every once in a while."

Joey Lawrence, understanding the concept of small residuals, humorously chimed in, "Sometimes I'll get, like, 2 cents and I'm like, 'Wait. Doesn't the envelope and paper cost more?'"

The Hudsons, meanwhile, just welcomed another member of their family into show business. Roy Hawn Russell, the labrador owned by their mom Goldie Hawn  and stepdad Kurt Russell, just starred in the annual Budweiser commercial during Sunday's Super Bowl.

"There’s a lot of thespians in this family, but tonight there was only one star," Kate posted on Instagram after Roy's big moment.
