Catherine O’Hara Remembered by Macaulay Culkin, Pedro Pascal, Seth Rogen & More in Tributes

Catherine O’Hara, the beloved comedy actress, has died at age 71. The Emmy winner was best known for her work on the classic ensemble sketch series SCTV, as well as unforgettable performances as Delia Deetz in Beetlejuice, Moira Rose in Schitt’s Creek, and Kevin’s perpetually frantic mother Kate McCallister in the Home Alone films. And now, her former castmates and close friends — including Kevin McCallister himself, Macaulay Culkin — are paying tribute to her iconic career and life.

O’Hara’s professional acting career spanned over five decades, starting in 1974. She began in the Toronto branch of The Second City improvisational comedy troupe, where she was initially an understudy for Gilda Radner. In 1976, she became an original cast member and writer for Second City Television, which solidified her career.
