CATHERINE O'HARA - Comedy's Queen of Quirk!

"I can't pick a favorite; it's like picking a favorite child," the actress, 70, tells Us. However, she does credit one experience with informing all of her performances. "I still try to practice the skills I learned at [famed improv troupe] The Second City, where I learned to develop characters, improvise, write a scene and stop and listen. That was just the greatest gift." While promoting her latest gig, Michelob ULTRA's 2025 Super Bowl spot, "The ULTRA Hustle," O'Hara stopped to reflect on her decades-spanning career.

image"I don't know if proud is the word," she says of her journey. "[I'm] grateful, really."

How was it filming the Michelob ULTRA commercial with Willem Dafoe?

I got the script and really laughed reading it.
