A HAUNTING FINAL IMAGE. Catherine O’Hara’s passing on January 30, 2026, is prompting the public to revisit her final images. At the 2025 Emmy Awards, while still maintaining her signature radiant demeanor, many noticed she looked noticeably thinner and paler. Behind that smile lay a silent battle. Just weeks after the event, she had to withdraw from the project The Studio due to health reasons. The climax was a 911 call at 4:48 AM reporting urgent difficulty breathing. The “secret message” that her husband, Bo Welch, found in his wife’s study was the reason they decided to keep her illness a secret until the last minute. See details below 👇

Catherine O’Hara looked frail in her final public appearance three months before her tragic death at the age of 71.

The “Home Alone” star beamed while posing with several guests at the 2025 Angel Awards, hosted at the Proper Hotel Santa Monica in Los Angeles last October.

She sported a chic green striped pant suit paired with a black button-up shirt underneath.

The actress’s last public appearance was at the 2025 Angel Awards hosted at the Proper Hotel Santa Monica in Los Angeles last October.
O’Hara appeared chipper, posing on the red carpet with her husband, Bo Welch, who wore a blue blazer and beige-colored pants. 

A guest at the ceremony told the Daily Mail that the actress “looked very slender,” noting, “It was noticeable.”

“Her face was almost gaunt, but she still looked very pretty,” the insider added. “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 source continued.

The awards celebrated chefs in LA who assist with helping those “facing critical and life-threatening illnesses” by delivering them food, per Project Angel Food’s website.

A rep for O’Hara wasn’t immediately available to Page Six for comment.

O’Hara died following a brief illness at her LA home on Friday, her agency told Page Six.

Page Six exclusively learned that the Los Angeles Fire Department responded to a call at the “Schitt’s Creek” alum’s home around 4:48 a.m. after she experienced “breathing difficulty.” She was transported to the hospital in “serious” condition. 

O’Hara, whose cause of death hasn’t been revealed, previously suffered from dextrocardia with situs inversus, a rare birth defect, “in which the organs in your chest and abdomen are positioned in a mirror image of normal human anatomy,” per the Cleveland Clinic.

Leading up to her death, the “Beetlejuice” star was supposed to film Season 2 of “The Studio.”

However, she pulled out of the project days before she died.

Several actors mourned O’Hara, including her “Beetlejuice” co-star Alec Baldwin and her “Home Alone” onscreen son, Macaulay Culkin.

She is survived by her husband and their two kids: Mathew, 31, and Luke, 29.

MADE OF AMERICA 🇺🇸❤️ Budweiser just did what only Budweiser knows how to do — and reminded everyone why its Super Bowl ads still own American emotion. From the first notes of “Free Bird,” the tone is set. Sweeping landscapes. Iconic Clydesdales. A quiet sense of pride that builds without shouting. It doesn’t rush. It lets the feeling settle — and then it hits. Fans are already calling it one of the brand’s most powerful commercials ever, not because it tries to say something… but because it shows it. Every image adds another layer of meaning, another pulse of nostalgia, resilience, and identity. And then comes the final moment. No words. No explanation. Just a single image that feels heavy in the best way — the kind that makes people rewind, sit still, and feel something they didn’t expect. People aren’t just watching this ad. They’re replaying it. Arguing about it. Feeling it 👇 See why this ending won’t leave your head 👇

“For just a few seconds… everything felt still.” As the Budweiser ad unfolded, no one was prepared for the moment that made the entire room go quiet. A tiny bald eagle chick — shaky, vulnerable — stepped onto the broad back of a Clydesdale and didn’t pull away. No explanation followed. No music swelled to tell you what it meant. Just a fragile choice… met with absolute calm. For a heartbeat, the world seemed to pause. Viewers felt it before they understood it — a strange mix of tenderness, trust, and something almost forgotten. Social feeds lit up not with praise, but with one question: Why did this moment feel so powerful? Because what happened next — and what it symbolized — hit deeper than anyone expected.👇 See the moment everyone is still talking about 👇
