Catherine O’hara, actriz de 71 años, falleció el viernes 30 de enero a causa de una enfermedad conocida como dextrocardia.

O’hara tuvo una larga trayectoria como actriz, carrera que comenzó desde la década de 1970 y es recordada por su impacto en la comedia, aunque también trabajó en otros géneros cinematográficos.

Uno de los primeros en despedir tiernamente a la actriz fue Macaulay Culkin, quien publicó en sus redes sociales un mensaje diciendo: “Mamá, pensé que teníamos más tiempo”.
