The Canadian actress Catherine O’Hara, who played the mother role in ‘Home Alone,’ was reported to have passed away today at the age of 71. Macaulay Culkin, the actor who played her son in the film, wrote a grief-stricken post in her memory.
The ‘Home Alone’ film series, released in 1990, was a blockbuster hit. It not only made Macaulay Culkin the highest-paid child star of the time but also made Catherine O’Hara, who played the mom, a household name. However, her agency sadly confirmed that Toronto-born Catherine O’Hara passed away unexpectedly at her home in Los Angeles on the 30th at age 71. She had suffered from illness during her lifetime.
Catherine O’Hara appeared in numerous TV and film works, including ‘Schitt’s Creek,’ ‘Beetlejuice,’ and ‘The Last of Us,’ and won 2 Emmy Awards and 1 Golden Globe. However, what people talk about most is the way she accompanied Macaulay Culkin during the lowest points of his life, taking on the role of a model mom both on and off the screen. Sadly, after her ‘son’ managed to pull himself together, she passed away, a fact that leaves many sighing in regret.
Macaulay Culkin wrote on Instagram in remembrance: “Mom, I thought we had more time, I wanted to spend more time with you, and to sit next to you on your chair. I can still hear your voice, and there’s so much I want to say to you. I love you, we’ll see each other again.”
