Catherine O’Hara Dies at 70
Canadian-American actress Catherine O’Hara, known for her roles in films like Home Alone and the television series Schitt’s Creek, has died at the age of 70.
O’Hara passed away on January 27, 2024, in Stockey Center, Ontario, canada, according to a statement released by her family. No cause of death was given.
In a 2024 interview with people, O’Hara spoke fondly of her experience filming Home Alone. “All those kids playing our kids were just amazing. It’s a perfect movie, isn’t it?”
Macaulay Culkin posted on Instagram, expressing his grief: “Mom. I thought we had time. I wanted to sit next to you in a chair. I heard you, but I had so much more to say. I love you. I’ll see you later.”
O’Hara had a reputation early in her career for being selective about her roles, sometimes turning down work. She explained this in an interview with People: “I read scripts and a gut feeling determines whether I want to be part of it. Do I want my parents to see this? I’d rather stay home than do something that I know is bad and have to defend later.”
O’Hara frequently collaborated with Canadian actor Eugene Levy, beginning with their work together on SCTV. Later, they starred together in the sitcom Schitt’s Creek, which centers on a wealthy family who lose their fortune and are forced to relocate to the small town of Schitt’s Creek.
In Schitt’s Creek, O’Hara played Moira Rose, the eccentric wife of Eugene Levy’s character, Johnny Rose. Moira is known for her dramatic flair, constantly changing wigs, extravagant outfits, and memorable lines like, “I would kill for a good coma.”
Emmy Award for Leading Role
Schitt’s creek gained significant popularity after becoming available on Netflix. The series won numerous awards, including nine Primetime Emmy Awards. O’Hara won the primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series in 2020 for her portrayal of Moira Rose.
The role brought her renewed recognition beyond her iconic role as Kevin’s mother in Home Alone. “Before, people calling ‘Kevin!’ would come up to me and ask me to shout their name to them.Now it’s all about Moira and Schitt’s Creek. I’ve never received so much attention. It’s crazy,” she said.
O’Hara was married to American production designer Bo Welch. They had two sons, Matthew and Luke Welch.
