Catherine O’Hara, dead at 71

She was great Cry

Catherine O’Hara, ‘Home Alone’ and ‘Schitt’s Creek’ star, dead at 71

Catherine O’Hara, the radiant actress whose singular comedic delivery helped elevate movies and TV shows like “Beetlejuice,” “Home Alone” and “Schitt’s Creek” to cult classic status, has died. She was 71.

A statement from CAA, the agency that represented O’Hara, said the actress died Friday “at her home in Los Angeles following a brief illness.”

In 1990’s “Home Alone,” O’Hara turned a one-word movie line (“KEVIN!”) into pop culture history. As a frazzled mom of five who left one of her brood (Macaulay Culkin) at home during their holiday trip to France, O’Hara brought heart and humor to the now classic Christmas movie. A sequel was released in 1992.

She was one of my absolute favourites ... a barometer of whether something was worth watching or not. If she was in it, it's be great. Such a fan of Schitt's Creek, in which she was amazing. Wha sad news. Vale. Thanks for the laughs.

Her Schitt's Creek character was hilarious.

Actually made me laugh out loud.

71 is too young.

Died following "a brief illness" Undecided

Maybe something as simple as pneumonia.

I believe Macaulay Culkin was on his way to visit her but didn't make it in time.

Cry

Might binge some Schitt's this afternoon.

If you haven't seen her in it, check out Best In Show. One of the funniest movies i've ever seen. A creation of the luminary Christopher Guest, who she collaborated with a few times. Also stars Eugene Levy, Mr. Moira.
