Summary

So many of us are devastated and surprised to hear the news that 71 year old Cathrine O’Hara suddenly died after what officials are calling “a brief illness.”  Although O’Hara missed the Golden Globes after being nominated for her role in “The Studio” there was no indication she was ill.  Beloved and honored for her role as Moira Rose in “Schitts Creek”, O’Hara is also being remembered by those who worked and loved her throughout her 50 plus year career from the “Home Alone” movies, to “Beetlejuice” and so much more.
