PICTURED: Catherine O’Hara was ‘super skinny’ at last event three months before shock death at 71

Catherine O’Hara looked ‘super skinny’ at her last event she attended before her shock death in late January, a source has told the Daily Mail.

‘She looked very slender, it was noticeable,’ said a guest at the Angela Awards at the Proper Hotel Santa Monica on October 16, 2025.

‘Her face was almost gaunt, but she still looked very pretty – she is a striking-looking woman – and she had a touch of glam going on. She hid her figure in a bulky green pinstriped suit.

‘She seemed to be in great spirits, however, and was very friendly and upbeat and lovely.’

The actress was seen posing with friends and longtime her husband Bo Welch. At one point she and Welch were seen sitting at a table as she held up her auction paddle.

The Angel Awards is Project Angel Food‘s gala in Los Angeles. Project Angel Food prepares and delivers healthy meals to feed people impacted by serious illness.

Also involved with the event was Upward Bound House, which provides homeless families housing assistance and volunteer opportunities in Los Angeles.

Her last red carpet appearance was at the Emmy Awards 2025 on September 14.

O’Hara died aged 71 on Friday.

The actress – who starred in the Beetlejuice and Home Alone film franchises – passed away, with O’Hara’s manager confirming the news to People on Friday, January 30. No further details about her death have been shared.

The movie star was born in Toronto, Canada, and was one of seven children. Her first experience of acting was when she played the Virgin Mary in a Nativity play.

O’Hara worked as a waitress at the Second City Theater in Toronto after leaving high school. As a waitress, she came across the likes of Dan Aykroyd, and Joe Flaherty.

Speaking to People in 2024, the actress shared: ‘I was lucky enough to watch everybody.’

O’Hara eventually joined the company in 1974. However, she later confessed to feeling anxious whenever she was on the stage.

She admitted to The New Yorker in 2019: ‘My crutch was, in improvs, when in doubt, play insane. Because you didn’t have to excuse anything that came out of your mouth. It didn’t have to make sense.’

O’Hara eventually landed a role on a TV sketch show called Second City Television, which aired on NBC in the 80s. The actress became famous for her impressions of various well-known celebrities, including Meryl Streep and Brooke Shields.

O’Hara made her film debut in 1980, when she starred alongside the likes of John Candy and Eugene Levy in Double Negative.

In 1988, she starred as Delia Deetz, the stepmother of Winona Ryder’s Lydia, in the hit movie Beetlejuice, which proved to be a huge commercial success.

And in 1990, she played Macaulay Culkin’s on-screen mom in Home Alone.

O’Hara – who reprised her role for 1992’s Home Alone 2: Lost In New York – told People: ‘It’s a perfect movie, isn’t it?’

O’Hara’s other roles included Best In Show in 2000 and 2003’s A Mighty Wind, as well as the Beetlejuice sequel in 2024.

In 2020, O’Hara won the Emmy for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series for her performance in the hit TV sitcom Schitt’s Creek, which was created by Eugene and Daniel Levy.

During her acceptance speech, O’Hara – who also won a Golden Globe and a SAG Award – said: ‘I will forever be grateful to Eugene and Daniel Levy for the opportunity to play a woman of a certain age, my age, who gets to fully be herself.’

O’Hara is survived by her husband Bo and their sons Matthew and Luke.
