Beetlejuice

Tim Burton's classic comedy Beetlejuice, cemented Catherine O'Hara's place as one of the actors who can be trusted with any role. In the movie, she played the role of Delia Deetz, and, as she says in the movie, she's a serious artist. With Winona Ryder, Alec Baldwin, and Geena Davis, she gave a standout performance.

Home Alone

Catherine O'Hara saying "Kevin!" In the Christmas classic, she plays the role of an eight-year-old's mom. Her character was small, but even with that limited screentime, she left an impact, making the world feel for the mother who yearns to reach her son as soon as possible. A small role, but totally one of her best performances.

The most iconic performance of Catherine O'Hara that made her Gen-Z's favourite. The drama with which she played the role of Moira Rose, the luxurious and fashionable lady, who is just unapologetic and her accent! With her gestures, drama, and all that Catherine did, she's not only made the world laugh but also cemented her legacy that will live forever.
