9 Times Catherine O'Hara's 'Home Alone' Character Was As Hilarious As Moira Rose
Moira Rose: A woman of the world, a wig connoisseur, and a force in her own right. Since 2015, the "Schitt's Creek" star has cemented her presence as one of the craziest and most wonderful characters to grace our screens. But there's an uncanny similarity between Moira and Catherine O'Hara's character, Kate McCallister, in 'Home Alone' (1990) and 'Home Alone 2: Lost in New York' (1992) that has us doing some double takes. .
For anyone who needs a refresher on classic holiday movies, O'Hara plays Kevin McCallister's (Macaulay Culkin) sadly forgetting mother - along with her husband, Peter McCallister, and their four other children - to bring Kevin on the family's annual Christmas vacation, twice. Exhausted, overwhelmed and prone to panic attacks, Kate is just a mom trying to get through the holidays and make sure her 8-year-old son is safe.
Moira is more forgiving and deeply in touch with her flair for day-to-day drama (see: her elaborate outfits and over-sophisticated speech). But O'Hara's unforgettable facial expressions and Moira's hilarious personality definitely overlap with Kate's for us to be convinced that Moira could be Kate in 30 years. Just substitute whenever Kate yells "Kevin!" with Moira saying "David" or "baby" and it's like they're basically in the same timeline.
Ahead, we've rounded up all the evidence that proves that Moira and Kate are one - or at least that they would make some really good friends. Read on for a full breakdown of all the "Home Alone" moments that prove Kate foreshadowed Moira three decades prior.
