Catherine O'Hara died on Friday at her home in Los Angeles after a brief illness. The actress first caught the eye of audiences with Canada's legendary sketch show 'Second City Television' in the late '70s. Alongside comedy greats like John Candy, Eugene Levy, and Rick Moranis, O’Hara helped shape a whole generation's sense of humour. In 'Home Alone,' she played Kate McCallister, the panicked, determined mother racing across the globe to get back to her son. Then came 'Schitt's Creek' in 2015, and with it, Moira Rose.
