Her artistic accomplishments will forever bring humor, light, and love for generations to come, and her brilliance and generosity of spirit touched everyone around her. We will hold her in our hearts always, and extend our thoughts and deepest sympathies to her husband Bo, and children, Matthew and Luke.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\tSeth Rogen, Ike Barinholtz, Kathryn Hahn and Chase Sui Wonders \u2014 the cast of the screwball industry comedy \u2014 were among dozens of panelists scheduled to participate in a streamer-wide press day held at Santa Monica\u2019s Barker Hangar Feb. 3. Per programming details, O\u2019Hara was not slated to attend.<\/p>\n \n\tThe beloved and multi-talented comedian, writer and actress death Jan. 30 at the age of 71 following a brief illness was profoundly mourned by Hollywood and the world over. Her inimitable comedic timing gave rise to an extraordinary and varied career that gave audiences roles like\u00a0Kate McCallister in Home Alone<\/em>, Moira Rose in\u00a0Schitt\u2019s Creek<\/em>, Delia Deetz in Beetlejuice Beetlejuice<\/em> and Patty Leigh in\u00a0The Studio<\/em>. The two-time Emmy winner was also a skilled dramatic performer, most recently exemplified in her guest turn as Gail in HBO\u2019s The Last of Us.<\/em><\/p>\n \n\tHer co-stars on The Studio <\/em>penned loving tributes to the veteran actor. Rogen, who co-created the series, which is currently in production for its second season, stated, \u201cReally don\u2019t know what to say\u2026 I told O\u2019Hara when I first met her I thought she was the funniest person I\u2019d ever had the pleasure of watching on screen.\u00a0Home Alone\u00a0<\/em>was the movie that made me want to make movies. Getting to work with her was a true honour. She was hysterical, kind, intuitive, generous\u2026 she made me want to make our show good enough to be worthy of her presence in it. This is just devastating. We\u2019re all lucky we got to live in a world with her in it.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
