Catherine O’Hara passed away aged 71 last week, leaving Schitt’s Creek and Home Alone fans devastated.
An “incredibly underrated” Catherine O’Hara film has been added to Netflix just days after the Hollywood icon’s death.
Tributes have flooded in since news of actress Catherine O’Hara’s death on Friday, January 30, with fans, family and her co-stars expressing their grief for the star.
Many will best associate the 71-year-old with the classic Christmas film Home Alone, while others will remember her as the eccentric Moira Rose from sitcom Schitt’s Creek.
But these were far from her only pieces of work with a “forgotten classic” of O’Hara’s debuting back in 1986.
Labelling it a “10 out of 10”, a fan commented on IMDb: “I can watch this movie over and over again and will never get tired of it
“It is full of tears and laughter and you can’t help loving it. I take this movie to my heart forever.”
This 1980s romcom follows the story of food critic Rachel Samstat and journalist Mark Forman who quickly fall head over heels for one another and move in together.
However, it isn’t long before Mark’s infidelity while Rachel is pregnant drastically changes their lives as they know it as they question if they really have a future.
Heartburn stars Sophie’s Choice legend Meryl Streep as Rachel and The Shining icon Jack Nicholson as Mark, while O’Hara is behind Betty, a close gossipy friend of Rachel’s.
Streep led tributes following her Heartburn co-star’s death, sharing that she brought “love and light to our world, through whipsmart compassion for the collection of eccentrics she portrayed”.
Heartburn dropped today, Friday, February 6, on Netflix, exactly one week following O’Hara’s passing.
A fan described Heartburn as their “all time favourite romantic drama”, as a second described it as a “forgotten classic”.
This sentiment was echoed by another user writing: “This is my favorite movie and I believe it’s incredibly underrated!”
Another agreed: “Despite all the depressing cheating that goes on, this is still a movie which everybody with a romantic heart could really enjoy, because the spirit of this movie is unbreakable: You will still believe in love after having seen this heartbreaking comedy.
“I would almost like to applaud, just in admiration of this very subtle masterpiece.”
Heartburn is available to watch on Netflix
