O'Hara, born in Canada, died at her home in Los Angeles “after a brief illness,” according to a statement from her agency, Creative Artists Agency. No further details were available.

O'Hara’s career began at Second City in Toronto in the 1970s.
It was there that she first worked with Eugene Levy, who would become a lifelong collaborator and her co-star in “Schitt’s Creek”.
The two would be part of the original cast of the sketch show “SCTV,” which helped launch the careers of other prominent Canadian comedians, such as Martin Short and Andrea Martin.
O'Hara's dramatic turn in HBO's “The Last of Us” earned her an Emmy nomination, as did her recent role as a Hollywood producer in “The Studio.”
She is survived by her husband, Bo Welch, and her sons, Matthew and Luke.
