Catherine O’Hara appeared 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.
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.
