Catherine O’Hara Turns 71: Take a Look Back at Her Career
Catherine O’Hara has been making people laugh on screen since the ‘70s — and fans hope she never stops.
The Toronto native, who is the second youngest of seven children, burst onto the scene in 1974 as part of Second City’s comedy club. She proceeded to star on Canada’s SCTV in the late ‘70s, where she met longtime friend Eugene Levy, whom she later starred alongside in Best in Show, For Your Consideration and Pop TV’s Schitt’s Creek.
O’Hara’s life continued to play out like a true Hollywood fairy tale after starring in 1988’s Beetlejuice. The film made her a movie star and led her to the man of her dreams, husband Bo Welch.
After uprooting her life for love in the late ’80s, the Home Alone star struck gold playing Kate McAllister in the 1990 holiday hit. O’Hara’s career is something many actors aspire to recreate — and she’s not done yet.
