News of the sudden death of actor Catherine O'Hara has emerged, and the red carpet scene where she last appeared in public adds to the sadness.
Catherine O'Hara attended the Emmy Awards held in Los Angeles in September 2025, about four months before her death, appearing at the official event. However, at that time she appeared noticeably thinner than before, causing fans to worry.
Despite a full skirt line, the fitted upper-body silhouette revealed thin arms and a narrow waistline. Her face and neckline also appeared slimmer, and the red hair that fell naturally over her shoulders emphasized her frail appearance.
At the time, fans took it as a simple weight change or style change. But after the death was reported, the scene quickly spread online, with reactions saying, "Wasn't there already a sign of a health problem?"
In fact, Catherine O'Hara was also seen looking unusually slight at SXSW 2025 held in Austin, Texas, in March 2025. Wearing a body-hugging black dress, she stood before cameras looking much lighter than before.
Local media reported, "Her weight has noticeably decreased for about two years."
Catherine O'Hara died at her Brentwood home in Los Angeles on the 30th (local time). Her agency CAA said she died after a brief illness, and did not disclose specific causes.
She is survived by her husband, Bo Welch, two sons, Matthew and Luke, and five siblings. The bereaved family plans to quietly honor her with a private memorial service.
Catherine O'Hara won worldwide love for her role as Macaulay Culkin's mother in the Home Alone series, and left another career-defining role as Moira Rose in the drama Schitt's Creek.
Her distinctive performances in Beetlejuice, Best in Show and A Mighty Wind also remain in the memories of many fans.
In 2020 she won the Emmy Award for lead actress for Schitt's Creek and said, "I was grateful to be able to play a character who is a woman my age and can live as she is." Now those words remain as the final message that encapsulates her life as an actor.
