Catherine O’Hara – famous for her work in “Schitt’s Creek,” “Home Alone,” and “Best In Show” – is dead … TMZ has learned.
Aw man, she’s great in Schitt’s Creek

No beetlejuice?
Her dancing to Harry Belafonte while being possessed is one of my core memories.
Nightmare Before Christmas, either. O’Hara was a huge part of my childhood :'(
I am so sad right now.
Outside of the obvious Home Alone and Schitt’s Creek, what are some of her works that I can go back and watch to honor her memory?
SCTV, Best in Show, Waiting for Guffman, A Mighty Wind, Beetlejuice, oh, so many…and cartoon voices, The Nightmare Before Christmas, Committed. She was everywhere and I can assuredely say, welcome.
I forgot about Beetlejuice
Most recently, The Studio on Apple TV
Pretty rough day for news.
Why? What else happened? I’m just waking up.
Trump arresting journalists.
only a problem in shitholes.
Or for people who live next to shitholes. Or have any natural resources that people who live in shitholes want. Or live anywhere where an elected representative has hurt the ego of the shithole in chief.
Or who live on a planet affected by e.g. the [anti-]environmental policies of said shithole.
Very insightful.
That’s very short-sighted
The last time one of our photogs saw Catherine was at LAX in February 2024 … when we asked her what role she would most want to be remembered for.
Author then neglects to say what her answer was now that it is most relevant…
Im guessing the answer is in the video above that paragraph, so we’ll never know.
If you’re putting info in a video in a news article, you may as well bury it beneath the sands of the taklamakan desert.
“The mother of my children.” is the quote from the video.
You have provided a great public service. Thank you.
Goodness, I had to write something referencing the Taklimakan desert just a few days ago so it’s bizarre to see it mentioned.
It was the funniest sounding desert i could remember off the top of my head.
Couldn’t have even told you there was a video on the page. I mostly browse the news while I’m at work, avoiding doing work. I have trained myself to ignore videos on news articles because I can’t have the sound on. So yeah, info in a video embedded on a news site doesn’t exist for me.
100%. I only spotted it because i read your comment before the article.
2026 can eat a bag of dicks
Still not even February
God damn… January was 3years long
I’ve been waking up every morning for work (I work outside mostly) seeing the weather station start with a -2X Celsius for what feels like 3 weeks now.
My body is so exhausted…
It seriously can. Fuck it’s still only January.
david bowie, alan rickman, catherine o’hara. why does january suck?
David Bowie died a decade ago.
“Sorry, it’s been a rough year…”
“Lemon, it’s January.”
❤️
Rest in peace, she was an iconic actress, and very very funny.
This is very sad news. She was great in every role.
“Oh they’re comin.’ Oh they’re comin.’ And watch out they got a lot of kids!”
Well that’s some bullshit right there. She was amazing.
Even 71 is too early, what happened?
Well Schitt’s
Absolutely brutal. Felt ill when I read it. The unexpectedness of it makes it so much worse I think.
Actually devastated that Schitts Creek is now forever done. Thought maybe we would get a movie.
I think it’s obvious she was widely loved and appreciated…I can imagine the particukar pain the Levys are feeling right now, besides her family obviously
Damn. RIP. She was one of the comedy greats. Pretty much unmatched timing IMHO.
:(
