Hommage à Catherine O’Hara : la maman la plus célèbre du cinéma s'est éteinte

The entertainment world is in mourning. Catherine O'Hara , the Canadian-American actress whose face and talent touched several generations, passed away this Friday at the age of 71. Represented by the CAA agency, she died peacefully at her home in Los Angeles following a brief illness.

A career between cult and prestige

Born in Toronto in 1954, Catherine O'Hara began her career in the 80s before becoming a key figure in Tim Burton's films and family comedies.

  1. Beetlejuice (1988): She played the unforgettable Delia Deetz.
  2. Home Alone (1990): Her role as Kate McCallister, Kevin's mother, brought her worldwide fame.
  3. Schitt's Creek (2015-2020): Her masterful performance as Moira Rose earned her a shower of awards, including an Emmy Award , a Golden Globe and a SAG Award .

The farewell of "his" fictional son

The announcement of his passing sparked a wave of emotion, particularly from Macaulay Culkin . The actor, who played his son in the Home Alone saga, shared a heartbreaking message on Instagram:

"Mom. I thought we still had time... I love you."

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney also paid tribute to the memory of a "legend" who has definitively earned his place in the pantheon of comedy.
