Consumate Comedian

 

Actress Catherine O'Hara has passed at 71. This multifaceted comedian and two time Emmy Award winner started in the legendary Second City Television troupe that included John Candy, Eugene Levy, Martin Short and more. She transitioned ro films seamlessly in such projects as Home Alone, Best in Show (as part of a repertory group in this, Waiting for Guffman, A Mighty Wind  etc), Beetlejuice, and The Nightmare Before Christmas. She also did well-received TV series as Schitt's Creek and The Last of Us.  Her range as an actress grew from her comedic mimicry in SCTV to dramatic roles as a consumate performer.
