Who is Catherine O’Hara?
After Home Alone, Catherine O’Hara shot to stardom like no other actress ever did. Moreover, her recent sitcom Schitt’s Creek garnered immense public support for its inclusive storyline and aptly represented characters. The sitcom became a beacon of hope for many people belonging to the LGBTQ spectrum. She received the Best Actress in Comedy Emmy for her portrayal of Moira Rose in Schitt’s Creek.
Apart from that, O’Hara has also worked in Beetlejuice, A Mighty Wind, Best in Show, and SCTV. Her brilliant comic timing and on-screen charm pull in viewers as they see her work her magic. However, we believe the actress will take on a more serious and challenging role in The Last of Us considering the tone of the show.
