Catherine O’Hara was iconic and unforgettable in every role she took on throughout her career. Every role she took on, from the loving mother in Home Alone to the delightfully eccentric artist in Tim Burton’s Beetlejuice to the ex-soap star in Schitt’s Creek, carried her unique spark. She made an impression not just through her talent but also with her kindness and warmth. 

Her passing has left a huge void, felt by her co-stars and all of Hollywood, as heartfelt tributes continue to pour in. Recently, her co-stars, Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg, also took time out to honor her incredible legacy.

The creator, director, star, and writer of The Studio, Seth Rogen, along with Evan Goldberg, recently appeared at the DGA Awards to accept their award for the Apple TV series. During their acceptance speech, they took a moment to pay tribute to Catherine O’Hara. Calling her an idol, both reflected on the times they had been inspired by her work in Home Alone.

“We grew up in Canada, and she is and was quite literally our idol since we were children,” Goldberg said. 

“Yeah. I mean, Home Alone, honestly, is like the movie that made me want to make movies in a lot of ways,” Rogen said.

“In that movie, she’s always yelling ‘Kevin! Kevin!’ and on set we would be yelling ‘Evan! Evan!’ Every time she did, it’s like, Home Alone.”

Rogen called the actress an utter genius who was incredibly talented and warmhearted at the same time. He further went on to express his gratitude to her for being part of The Studio and spoke fondly of the time he got to direct her during the project. For those who are unaware, she played the role of Patty Leigh, an executive in the series, and was even nominated for an Emmy.

It was only fitting that Rogen and Goldberg paid such a heartfelt tribute to the legend. And they were not the only ones. Netflix also recently honored the actress in its own unique way.

Catherine O’Hara was an actress to be celebrated, and what better way to honor her than by revisiting her classics? The streaming giant added some of her best movies for fans to rewatch and remember the brilliant actress. One such film is Christopher Guest’s mockumentary Waiting for Guffman, in which she played Sheila Albertson.

She also portrayed Mickey Crabbe in A Mighty Wind, which is available to stream on Netflix, and was brilliant as Marilyn Hack in For Your Consideration. The other two movies added to Netflix’s library are After Hours and Home Fries. Though she may have left us too soon, she left a larger-than-life impression through her work that will continue to live in our hearts forever.
