R.I.P. Lola Heatherton (Catherine O’Hara)
This is a shocker. 2025 was one of the most successful years of her life. She was in every episode of The Studio, and earned Emmy and Golden Globe nominations for her supporting performance. She was also nominated for a second Emmy for her performance in The Last of Us….
