Catherine O’Hara ‘wasn’t talking much’ before her tragic death at age 71

Catherine O’Hara’s brother is opening up about the “Schitt’s Creek” star’s final days.
On Sunday’s episode of his “Dreams of Our Loved Ones” podcast, Michael P. O’Hara revealed that his sister “wasn’t talking much in the end” before her death at the age of 71 in January.
Michael explained that Catherine, who was a resident of Los Angeles, “didn’t live close by” and that she “didn’t really want to talk on the phone.” Because of that, it made the “Home Alone” star recently coming to him in a dream all the more special.
Michael explained to listeners that the vivid moment came “days or a few days before” Catherine died.
“I always cherish the times I can meet with a loved one in the dream state. And I was hugging her, which was really beautiful. And I guess it was sort of a goodbye,” he shared.
“Since then, I’ve had a lovely dream where I was visiting her, and she was in a new house and it was being renovated, and she was really busy choosing furniture and couches. And she said, ‘You can sleep here anytime, Michael. You can come over and stay any time.’”
Michael went on to say that the dream was reminiscent of a real-life memory he had, from when Catherine was in the sketch comedy ensemble “Second City Television.”

“I was apprenticing at the Windsor Arms Hotel,” he recounted. “I would go over and sleep over at her place some nights because she had an extra bedroom. Yeah, pretty cool. But yeah, it was beautiful. She was just so happy and very busy in the other world that she’s now in, but yeah, it’s beautiful.”
Michael added, “The love, you know, continues no matter what. They’re always with us.”
As Page Six previously reported, Catherine died on Jan. 30 from a pulmonary embolism, sending shockwaves through Hollywood.
Prior to her passing, the beloved icon had starred as ousted movie producer Patty Leigh in Season 1 of “The Studio.”
Catherine was set to come back for Season 2, but ended up missing the beginning of filming just days before she died. The show’s co-creator and star, Seth Rogen, revealed last week how “The Studio” will address her tragic passing.
“If anything, we’re acknowledging the idea that we are a little anchor-less. But, honestly, that is a part of life and what we all experience,” he said in an interview with the Times.
“And so, while we try not to dwell too much on heavy themes in this show, they will be there in this second season. We are not ignoring it.”
The comedian’s co-creator, Evan Goldberg, noted that Catherine’s sudden death sent “shock waves” throughout the cast.
“It has been an unbelievable challenge. Obviously, emotionally, dealing with the loss, but also when it comes to the show itself,” he said about moving forward without the “Beetlejuice” actress.
“We wrote it for her to be there. We had it all set, and the shock waves permeated throughout the entire new season,” he added. “It’s been difficult … she was the anchor, and now the anchor is gone.”

Robert De Niro had no idea ‘Taxi Driver’ would become a classic

You talkin’ to him?
Robert De Niro had no idea his 1976 film “Taxi Driver” would be lauded as a classic.
“You never can think that you’re doing something that’s going to have an impact,” the actor, 82, exclusively explained to Page Six in a recent interview alongside his fellow Tribeca Festival co-founder Jane Rosenthal to promote next month’s event.
The Oscar winner “just never look[s] at it that way,” he adding, noting that success is “out of your control.”
The neo-noir drama, directed by Martin Scorsese, stars De Niro as an unhinged taxi driver named Travis Bickle, whose mental state deteriorates over the course of the movie.
De Niro acted in the iconic role alongside Jodie Foster, Cybill Shepherd, Harvey Keitel, Peter Boyle, and Albert Brooks.
The project generated controversy at the time for graphic violence and 12-year-old Foster’s casting as a child sex worker — and, later, for inspiring John Hinckley Jr.’s attempted assassination of President Ronald Reagan.
Nevertheless, it is considered one of the greatest movies ever made and, in 1994, was designated as “culturally, historically or aesthetically” significant by the U.S. Library of Congress when selected for preservation in the National Film Registry.
The movie, which turned 50 this year, is being screened at the June film festival — and De Niro and Scorsese, 83, will reunite for a conversation about the project.
Their sitdown is just one of many special talks and screenings taking place at this year’s 25th Tribeca Festival.
Not only are interviews with Madonna, Sean Penn and Josh Safdie also scheduled, but there will be special anniversary screenings of “Cable Guy” and “Bridget Jones’s Diary.”
“There are so many great things to see,” Rosenthal told us. “There’s so much music, everybody from Earth, Wind and Fire and Madonna to Noga Erez and Sarah Bareilles and Peter Frampton.
“There’s just a lot to see,” the 69-year-old continued, stressing that the festival is “a welcome festival for all New Yorkers [with] tickets available” now.
The annual event, which runs from June 3 through June 14, was established in 2002 to spur the revitalization of Lower Manhattan following the 9/11 attacks on the World Trade Center.

Laura Clery praises first responders after being crushed by fridge

Comedian and social media star Laura Clery praised the first responders who helped her after she was pinned beneath a 600 pound fridge in a freak accident.
Clery was seen in an Instagram video wearing a neck brace while speaking with emergency workers in an ambulance.
“So I was crushed by a 600 pound fridge,” Clery said as she looked up at two firefighters. “Is that correct?”
One of the mean — both of whom wore navy blue uniforms — responded, “Yes.”
A dazed Clery then looked into the camera before the clip ended. She wrote atop the video, “Shout out to these actual HEROES who pushed a 600 pound fridge off of me.”
“This was right after the fentanyl hit and all of my pain [went] away (instantly) I just need to say THANK YOU to these AMAZING firefighters who saved my life!!” the YouTuber captioned the video on Saturday.
“Truly. They got there so fast, broke through my garage door, and 3 of them pushed a 600 pound fridge off of me and got me safely to the trauma unit before things got worse.”
Clery also reflected on how “differently this could have gone” and said she felt “overwhelming gratitude.”
“No broken bones, my kids are okay and safe, I can walk… I’m so lucky!” she continued, praising the personnel as being “calm, kind” and handling “everything like absolute heroes!”
“And then right as one of them pushes the fridge off me, he goes, ‘Wait… I watch all of your videos!’ and they all start hyping me up 😭 like sir… I am currently being flattened but thank you 😂”
She concluded the post, “Forever grateful for these men. Real life angels. 😭🙏❤️”
In the comments thread, Clery admitted that she was “nervous” about fentanyl before it was administered, “but the pain was so severe that they injected it into me and thank God I had no craving to do it again as a recovering addict,” she wrote.
“That’s something we have to think about even when facing an immense amount of pain.”
Clery, 39, shared details of the “most terrifying night of [her] life as a single mom” in an Instagram upload on Thursday.
She said she was getting ready for bed earlier this week when her “600 pound fridge slammed into me and pinned me against the counter.”
During the terrifying incident, she “couldn’t move” and “couldn’t breathe” and that her kids Alfie, 7, and Poppy, 5 — whom she shares with ex-husband Stephen Hilton — were in the house at the time.
“Thank God it didn’t fall on my kids,” she wrote atop a video of her being transported to an ambulance.
The social media personality was able to reach into her pocket for her phone and call 911. “It took three firefighters to lift it off me,” she said. “I’m still shaking.”
She was also able to text Hilton writing, “I’m dying. Come by now now now.”
In the video, Clery could be heard complaining of severe pain following the incident.
She later shared that her son Alfie, who is autistic, had toppled the weighty refrigerator while climbing on it and that it wasn’t “properly mounted into the wall.”
Clery also stated that she wants to “f–king sue the contractor” who installed the fridge and called the oversight “negligence.”

Scarlett Johansson says ‘there is no work-life balance’ in candid interview

Scarlett Johansson has finally admitted that the idea of a good work-life balance does not exist.
During an interview with CBS Sunday Morning, Johansson shared that there is always a “deficit” somewhere in her life — despite accumulating a mass amount of success.
“I think actually admitting that there is no work-life balance is the first step to kind of getting there in a way, because it’s not possible,” the Marvel star began.
“There’s always something that is … there’s a deficit in some area, and I think you have to be … I learned to be more kind to myself. You can’t do all of these things all the time and so, you know … there’s just like … is it good enough?”
Over time, Johansson has accepted that not everything in her life will always be perfect.
Johansson is currently balancing a marriage with comedian Colin Jost and raising their two kids, launching a skincare brand and taking on acting roles.
According to Forbes, Johansson earned $43 million in 2025 and was named the highest-paid actress of 2025.
Her view of success has shifted in recent years.
“Somebody once told me, ‘If you’re successful as a parent like 75% of the time, that’s good’ — if you’re doing 75% of it like right, then you’re winning, which is probably true,” Johansson told “CBS Sunday Morning.”
Johansson and Jost, a comedian and writer best known for his work on “Saturday Night Live,” tied the knot in October 2020. In August 2021, the couple welcomed their first son, Cosmo.
The Marvel actress was previously married to actor Ryan Reynolds from 2008 to 2011 and French journalist Romain Dauriac from 2014 to 2017. Dauriac and Johansson share an 11-year-old daughter, Rose. This is Jost’s first marriage.
The “Black Widow” star came from humble beginnings. During an interview with Entertainment Tonight in 2017, she admitted that her family of six was on welfare.
“We were living on welfare, we were on food stamps. My parents were raising four kids in a low-income household in Manhattan. So, it was a lot,” Johansson said at the time.
Johansson skyrocketed to fame in the early 2000s. During an interview with People in April, the actress opened up about the difficulties of entering the spotlight at a young age.
“I think growing up in the entertainment industry and being 20-something years old in the early 2000s, being a 20-year-old woman in the early 2000s in the spotlight, I think in general it was just a really harsh time,” Johansson began.
“I think women were just pulled apart for how they looked in a way that was socially acceptable at the time, and it was tough,” she continued.
“There was a lot placed on how women looked and what was offered at that time for women my age as far as acting roles or opportunities, it was much slimmer than it is now.”
