Macaulay Culkin and Others Pay Tribute to Catherine O’Hara After Her Death
Catherine O’Hara, the actress and comedian known for films such as Home Alone and the television series Schitt’s Creek, died on Friday at the age of 71, and co-stars and fans filled social media with tributes, The New York Times reports. Macaulay Culkin, who played O’Hara’s son Kevin in two Home Alone movies, posted on Instagram with two photos — one from the 1990 film and one of the pair embracing years later — writing, “Mama.
I thought we had time. I wanted more. I wanted to sit in a chair next to you. I heard you. But I had so much more to say. I love you. I’ll see you later.” Pedro Pascal, who worked with O’Hara on the television series The Last of Us, posted a photograph of them embracing on set, writing, “There is less light in my world, this lucky world that had you, will keep you, always.” Justin Theroux posted a photo of O’Hara’s director’s chair and wrote, “Oh Catherine.
You will be so so missed.” Emmy-winning actor Paul Walter Hauser called her “my Meryl Streep,” listed several of her shows and movies and said he was thankful for her work. He wrote, “An ‘angel just went home to Heaven,’” adding, “And she’s not home alone.” Videos and photos of scenes from O’Hara’s career filled social media, including snippets of her lip-syncing to Harry Belafonte’s “Banana Boat” in Beetlejuice and moments highlighting Moira Rose’s speech patterns on Schitt’s Creek.
