O’Hara died Friday at her home in Los Angeles after a brief illness, her reps at CAA confirmed. She was 71.
A native of Toronto, O’Hara was part of the Sctv ensemble that also helped launch the careers of John Candy, Eugene Levy, Rick Moranis and others. She’s arguably best known for playing Kevin’s (Macaulay Culkin) mother, Kate, in the Home Alone movies and had a career renaissance in the past 10 years with Schitt’s Creek — winning an Emmy for her role as a faded soap opera actress opposite old friend Levy — and The Studio, for which she earned an Emmy nomination last year.
She won an Emmy in 2020 for playing Moira Rose in Schitt’s Creek. She also earned an Emmy for her work on Sctv Network in 1982 and was nominated eight other times for acting and writing awards.
