Ingmar Bergman had Liv Ullmann. Woody Allen had Diane Keaton and Christopher Guest had Catherine O’Hara — that’s how actor John Michael Higgins summed up the stature of O’Ha…
summed up the stature of O’Hara’s work on screen with Guest and other top directors during a wide-ranging Q&A held Saturday as part of the sixth annual USC Comedy Festival.
In reviewing O’Hara’s career with Higgins, a veteran of Guest’s hit ensemble comedies “A Mighty Wind” and “Best in Show” , the pair discussed memorable moments from the O’Hara canon. Who can forget that iconic scene in 1988’s “Beetlejuice” when the cast breaks out into a chorus of “Day-O.” Or her many laugh-out-loud moments as Kate, the mother of Macauley Culkin’s Kevin, in 1990’s “Home Alone.
O’Hara’s early career was influenced by her working with future mega stars — including Martin Short, John Candy, Victor Garber, Gilda Radner and her longtime screen partner Eugene Levy — while performing in the cast of a Toronto production of musical “Godspell” in the early 1970s. However, O’Hara’s most outrageous tale was one about the private tour of the Vatican – a honeymoon gift from Burton, who did wind up directing O’Hara in “Beetlejuice.
