Catherine O'Hara, 'Schitt's Creek' and 'Home Alone' star, dead at 71 Actor Catherine O'Hara, known for her roles on shows like 'Schitt's Creek' and 'The Studio' as well as films like 'Home Alone,' has died. She was 71.

Catherine O'Hara's death is shocking because of how vibrant she was onscreen. She was brilliant recently in "The Studio" and in "Schitt's Creek," but also in earlier work like "Beetlejuice," "Home Alone" and so much more. For any elder millennial, this hits hard. www.latimes.com/entertainmen...

The 12 unforgettable TV moments of 2025 Here are some of the year's most memorable TV moments and episodes, according to the Times staff.

Because it was such a standout year for TV, there were some scenes and episodes that we felt were worth highlighting from 2025. Can you believe Severance, The Pitt, Jimmy Kimmel, SNL's 50th season and the creepy bat baby from Welcome to Derry were all this year? www.latimes.com/entertainmen...

True Whitaker is not afraid to play a nepo baby (or speak Elvish) on 'I Love LA' True Whitaker plays the daughter of a famous filmmaker on 'I Love LA.' In real life, her famous father Forest Whitaker helped her nail her audition for the Rachel Sennott-led HBO series.

'Cheer's' Monica Aldama provides NBC's 'Stumble' with the lift its creators desired When Jeff and Liz Astrof decided to adapt the Netflix's 'Cheer' into a comedy series, they knew they needed Monica Aldama, the cheer coach at the center of the docuseries.

The excellent documentary CHEER broke the myth of what cheerleading was and who could participate. Now comes STUMBLE, NBC's new mockumentary, loosely adapted from the docuseries. I spoke to the creators and Monica Aldama about making the show: www.latimes.com/entertainmen...

California voters approved Prop. 50. Here's a look at the percentage of "yes" votes by county, with 25.1% precincts reporting as of Nov. 4, 8:18 p.m.

The perception has been that boomers are set in their ways, and thus unpersuadable. But some of the callers mentioned their children’s ages (20s generally) which is means those parents probably skew more Gen X. It was an interesting, informal poll of sorts.

I’m listening to WNYC’s election coverage (never stopped even after moving to LA) and the most interesting calls have been from parents who say they were persuaded by their children to vote for Zohran Mamdani. It shows that those dinner table conversations can sway people.
