Personal Life

In 1974, Patricia Brentrup began a long-term partnership with actor Kit Culkin; they never formalized their union but co-parented seven children until their separation in 1991. During their time together, they split a 15 percent commission on Macaulay‘s earnings, managing his career through the height of his child actor fame.

Outside of talent management, she worked as a telephone operator in New York City before relocating to Montana, where she has remained largely out of the public eye.

Controversy

In December 1998, a fire in Patricia Brentrup’s Manhattan apartment, reportedly started by a dried Christmas tree, spread through the building after her door was left open, resulting in four fatalities and injuring around twenty others. Neighbours sued her for $80 million, alleging negligence; the case brought intense media scrutiny but was ultimately settled out of public view.
