Catherine O’Hara
Suffered Emergency at L.A. Home Before Death
Published
Catherine O’Hara suffered a medical emergency at her Los Angeles home and was hospitalized just hours before she died, authorities said.
First responders were called to the actress’ Brentwood home around 5 AM Friday and O’Hara was then transported to a hospital, where she was listed in serious condition, according to the Los Angeles Fire Department. Hours later, the legendary actress was pronounced dead.
TMZ broke the story … multiple sources told us O’Hara passed away. A cause of death hasn’t been revealed.
Catherine rose to prominence in classic 1980s and 1990s films … including “After Hours,” “Beetlejuice,” “Dick Tracy” and the first two ‘Home Alone’ movies
Her distinctive voice also landed her many voice acting roles … playing Sally in “The Nightmare Before Christmas” and Penny in “Over the Hedge.”
Younger audiences will recognize Catherine mostly from “Schitt’s Creek” on which she played Rose family matriarch Moira. She last appeared in Seth Rogen’s hit show “The Studio” … for which she received a Golden Globe nomination — though she didn’t attend the ceremony earlier this month.
O’Hara was 71.
RIP
