Emmy-winning comic actor Catherine O’Hara is among the noteworthy and influential people who died in the first month of this year.
Her career was launched with the Second City comedy group in Toronto. But O’Hara is best known for her roles as Macaulay Culkin’s mother in the first two “Home Alone” movies and as the dramatically ditzy matriarch Moira Rose in the TV series “Schitt’s Creek.”
