We lost a legend today. Catherine O’Hara was always someone I loved, but I never fully realized how much space she held in the magic of my childhood until now. A once in a lifetime talent. She could make you laugh, cry, and feel completely understood through the beautifully measured insanity of her characters, the kind we all recognize in ourselves. I never felt like I was watching an actress play a role. She was the character. What a loss for the motion picture industry and for moviegoers, ordinary people who look to those characters as a place to escape.
