Tributes to the late Catherine O’Hara continue to pour in.
Over the weekend, Reese Witherspoon updated her Instagram Stories with a note about O’Hara, calling her “a pure delight.”
“Feeling so sad about the passing of Catherine O’Hara,” Witherspoon’s message began. “Catherine was such an inspiration to me. I worked with her on a movie called Penelope back in 2006, and her creativity was boundless. She never ceased to amaze me with her generosity toward her fellow actors and filmmakers. In real life, she was just as warm and delightful as she seems on film - a pure delight.”
She continued, “Her legacy will live on through her beloved characters and her wonderful family. I know she’s making all the angels laugh.”
Witherspoon finished her salute with a dove emoji and had the entire message laid over a black-and-white photo of O’Hara, taken early on in her acting career.
O’Hara passed away last Friday, January 30. She was 71. The shocking news was first reported by TMZ.
Later, multiple outlets reported that the beloved actor was rushed to the hospital “in serious condition” following a “brief illness.” The exact details surrounding her death remain a mystery, per Heathline.
What we do know, however, is that O’Hara lived with dextrocardia with sinus inversus, a rare genetic condition that is characterized by “an abnormal position of the heart,” Heathline explained.
Since her passing, celebrities, fans, and everyone in between have been flooding social media with their reactions, memories, and thoughtful love letters.
From Macaulay Culkin, who starred with O’Hara in the Home Alone franchise, to Pedro Pascal, who worked with the actress in The Last of Us, to Eugene Levy, who paired with O’Hara in multiple projects including A Mighty Wind, seemingly everyone has been moved by the starlet. She will be greatly missed.
As for Witherspoon, she’s celebrating 25 years of Legally Blonde with the upcoming release of the series Elle, which is headed to Prime Video July 1, and has season two already in the works.
And should you want to get lost in the romantic comedy Witherspoon mentions in her post, Penelope, it’s streaming for free on Tubi and Pluto.
