In 1980, she played alongside Donald Sutherland and Suzanne Somers in “Nothing Personal”, and later in 27 episodes of “SCTV Network” from 1981 to 1982.

She also played Kate McCallister in Chris Columbus’ Oscar-nominated comedy “Home Alone” (1990) alongside Macaulay Culkin, Joe Pesci, and Daniel Stern, which grossed over $530 million worldwide and helped O’Hara to increase her net worth significantly. Catherine also portrayed Kate in “Home Alone 2: Lost in New York” in 1992, and lent her voice to the Oscar-nominated “The Nightmare Before Christmas” in 1993, which also grossed a lot of money and improved O’Hara’s wealth.

| # | Quote |
|---|
| 1 | I think the best dramatic actors know how to tap into their character's humor. I have more respect for those who take their comedy seriously. |
| 2 | I started working in the 1970s, when women's lib was a daily subject. A lot of what women were fighting for then is a given now. In comedy it has gotten so much better. So many women are creating their own material. If anything, I think more about being older than being a woman in comedy. (2015) |
| 3 | I think everyone is born funny. Sadly, some lives beat it out of them. I don't know what allows someone to keep being funny and actually make a career of it. I was encouraged to see the humor in life and have always been around people who think funny, but I know some hilarious people whose sense of humor saved them from their lives. |
| 4 | [on doing voiceover work with Martin Short in 'Frankenweenie'] In a live-action film, the focus is on the set and the lighting and everything that's there. In animation, it's all right in the headphones. As Marty says, it uses a different set of muscles. In this case, we were given some beautiful illustrations to guide us, and I think we just tried to honor that. |
| 5 | I never went to the prom or anything. I got asked by a couple of weird guys, but no one I wanted to show up at a formal with. Mostly I thought about being an actress. I wasn't conscious of wanting to be a comic actress. I wasn't really funny or anything, and I didn't think about it. It wasn't supposed to be ladylike for a girl to joke. To this day, I've found that it doesn't matter what a guy looks like if he's really funny. His sense of humor makes him attractive. On the other hand, you don't hear men saying, "No she's not pretty, but is she ever funny!" |
| 6 | Night time really is the best time to work. All the ideas are there to be yours because everyone is asleep. |
| 7 | I know. I'm lazy. But I made myself a New Years resolution that I would write myself something really special. Which means I have 'til December, right? |
| 8 | I think the success of my work stems from being truthful. |
| 9 | I lived in LA for a few months. It seemed like no one there had parents. Or if they did have parents, they would deny it. |
| 10 | I'm pretty much a good Catholic girl at heart and I believe in family. I also have a basic belief that God takes care of me. I believe in prayer, even though I'm not that religious. I just have that foundation from my family. I mean when you think that you're just a human being and one of God's creatures, you can't take anything that seriously. |
