Catherine O'Hara Passes Away, Schitt's Creek & Home Alone Star Was 71
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Catherine O'Hara has passed away. The legendary star of Home Alone,
Schitt's Creek, and much more was 71 years old.
TMZ was first to report that O'Hara passed away on Friday, January 30,
2026. The cause of death is currently unclear.
Born in 1954, O'Hara's career in Hollywood began with the Canadian
sketch comedy series Second City Television, per Variety. That show
earned O'Hara her first PrimeTime Emmy Award, an accolade that she'd
again win in 2020 for her performance in Schitt's Creek.
O'Hara's first credited Hollywood movie is 1980's Nothing Personal.
She then went on to star in 1980's Double Negative and 1983's Rock &
Rule before playing the memorable role of Gail in Martin Scorsese's
After Hours, which was released in 1985.
Her stardom continued to rise after playing Delia Deetz in Tim
Burton's Beetlejuice, released in 1988. Just two years later, she
starred as Kevin McCallister's mom, Kate McCallister, in Home Alone.
She reprised this role again in the sequel, Home Alone 2: Lost in New
York.
Following that, O'Hara voiced Sally in The Nightmare Before Christmas
and appeared in movies such as 1994's Wyatt Earp, 1996's Waiting for
Huffman, 1997's Pippi Longstocking, 2000's Best in Show, and 2004's
Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events, among many other
titles.
O'Hara's career had a major renaissance in her 60s when she starred
as Moira Rose in the popular Schitt's Creek sitcom alongside Eugene
Levy, Dan Levy, and Annie Murphy. She recently played Patty Leigh in
the first season of The Studio and Gail Lynden in Season 2 of
The Last of Us. Additionally, O'Hara reprised her Delia Deetz
character in the Beetlejuice sequel, Beetlejuice Beetlejuice, and
voiced a character in the award-winning The Wild Robot movie released
in 2024.
ComingSoon sends condolences to Catherine O'Hara's friends and family
at this time.

Good lord couldn't they have picked a more flattering pic than that.
They probably used the most recent picture they had.
I don't see the images because ComingSoon.net uses some sort of silly
webp system that doesn't work in my old version of MacOS's Safari - I
just get little blue "?" icons. (The images do work in Firefox, but
that is a bit more cumbersome for copy-pasting to Usenet Newsgroups, so don't use it for the articles.)

It could be that you're getting a different version of the page - some

My most modern Mac is running the system just above that, Mojave
10.14.6, and the pic is loading fine in the Firefox browser. They like
to pick on you for some reason. :)
In the Wiki page for WebP it says "Safari added support for WebP in September 2020 with iOS 14 and macOS Big Sur," so you're a couple of
OS's behind.
Have you tried Firefox on your system as an alternative to Safari? It's
been supporting WebP since 2019.
Mozilla is still updating Firefox for my Mojave system and I'm
currently using v.115.32.Oesr (64-bit).
If you switch you can get on their esr update channel which notifies
you automatically. However I'm not sure if they're still updating for
High Sierra; I know they're not still updating for El Capitan which is
my other Mac system.
Mojave has worked out pretty well for me, I rarely run across a site
that won't accept the latest Firefox update (namely the Chase credit
card account for some reason but I can still conduct payments with them through my own bank's site).
However Mozilla will probably stop supporting Mojave at some point
(Chrome did several years ago) and that's going to suck, I'll probably
have to upgrade to a newer system.

to pick on you for some reason. :)
In the Wiki page for WebP it says "Safari added support for WebP in
September 2020 with iOS 14 and macOS Big Sur," so you're a couple of
OS's behind.
Have you tried Firefox on your system as an alternative to Safari? It's
been supporting WebP since 2019.
Yep, as in the original reply, the images work fine in Firefox, but
that browser is a bit more cumbersome for copy-pasting the articles to
the Usenet newsgroups (Safari copies the YouTube video address, while Firefox doesn't).
However Mozilla will probably stop supporting Mojave at some point
(Chrome did several years ago) and that's going to suck, I'll probably
have to upgrade to a newer system.
I do have an older version of Chrome, but only use it very
occassionally for one website that weirdly doesn't like either Safari
or Firefox. :-\
