"Kevin - home alone" is one of the great Christmas classics.

Catherine O'Hara plays Kevin's mother, Kate McCallister, in the celebratory flick.

Since then she has changed a lot.

Los Angeles – One film that shouldn't be missed during the holiday season is Home Alone.

The cult flick follows the McCallister family from a suburb of Chicago who, on a trip to France, forget their youngest child Kevin (Macaulay Culkin, 42) - who has to defend the house from two burglars during the holiday season.

The mixture of Christmas spirit and lots of action is well received every year and brings the whole family together to cheer on in front of the television.

Home Alone Star Catherine O'Hara: From Screenwriter to Movie Legend

In addition to her son's clever tricks, most viewers should have remembered the shrill exclamations of his mother Kate.

The red-haired – and slightly hysterical – head of the McCallister family is embodied by Catherine O'Hara (68), who makes a very credible couple alongside John Heard († 71).

Before the sympathetic Canadian ever held the screenplay for "Kevin - Alone at Home" in her hands, she was already in front of the camera with show business greats such as Meryl Streep (73) and Jack Nichsolson (85).

Before her big break as an actress, Catherine O'Hara made a name for herself behind the scenes writing screenplays for the series SCTV Network 90 in the 1980s - for which she received the prestigious Emmy Award in 1982.

Still, it's her role as Kate McCallister that most people associate with her these days - which doesn't seem to bother her at all.

In 2020, she once again stepped into Kevin's forgetful mother's shoes for a short promotional clip for the Freedom Unlimited campaign, and in an interview with

US Magazine

revealed about the film: "I have to make my kids watch it."

Catherine O'Hara is also active as a musician

Catherine O'Hara made her big break with her acting roles and her work as a screenwriter.

But she also shows off her talents musically.

She performed songs she had written with her sister Mary on the TV show The Last Polka in 1985 and that same year joined music legends like Bryan Adams with the Northern Lights, who released the benefit song Tears Are Not Enough .

One would certainly not have expected so much vocal art from Kevin's mother.

Big career comeback: That's what "Kevin – Home Alone" star Catherine O'Hara is doing today

In her native Canada, Catherine O'Hara has been a true acting icon since the release of Home Alone and the equally successful sequel Kevin in New York (1992).

Internationally, however, it was initially quiet around her - until she experienced a renewed career upswing in 2015 with the comedy series "Schitt's Creek".

Alongside her longtime friend and colleague Eugene Levy (75), she embodies the funny ex-millionaire Moira Rose and was rewarded for her work with both a Golden Globe and the recognition of a whole new generation.

More than 30 years have passed since Catherine O'Hara starred as Kate McCallister in Home Alone and its follow-up, Home Alone.

Even today, the native Canadian is one of the biggest names in Hollywood.

Today, Catherine O'Hara can look back on a diverse career that proves she is much more than housewife Kate McCallister, who forgets her son at home for Christmas.

She celebrates her glittering success in the film industry with her children Matthew, 28, and Luke, 25, and her husband, Bo Welch, 71, whom she met on the set of the Halloween comedy Beetlejuice.

Catherine O'Hara is guaranteed to put smiles on many faces again in the coming weeks as her legendary "Keeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeen"
