O'Hara said: "It's just fun to work with people who collaborate and allow you to create an inconsistently crazy character with an inconsistent way of speaking and an amazing wardrobe. It relaunched opportunities for all of us."
O'Hara is known for her comedy work on Second City Television and Schitt's Creek. She is known for films such as After Hours, Beetlejuice and its sequel Beetlejuice Beetlejuice, The Nightmare Before Christmas, Home Alone and its sequel Home Alone 2: Lost in New York.
