Kieran Culkin on Sister Dakota's Lasting Impact

Kieran Culkin continues to grapple with the profound loss of his sister Dakota, who died in a car accident in 2008. In a recent CBS Sunday Morning interview, he described losing Dakota as losing a 'big piece of himself,' emphasizing the deep bond he shared with his siblings. Dakota's sense of humor has influenced Kieran's portrayal of Roman Roy on HBO’s 'Succession,' where he finds echoes of her personality. Despite the passage of time, Kieran admits that the pain of her absence remains constant, though he has learned to live with it. Kieran and his siblings grew up in a close-knit family in New York City, an experience he fondly recalls as a 'wolf-pack mentality.' The Culkin family, known for their acting lineage, continues to remember Dakota through personal tributes and public acknowledgments.
