Catherine O'Hara Reveals Past Crush on Late Co-Star John Candy

The 'Home Alone' actress fondly remembers Candy's supportive nature and their shared experiences in the Second City theater troupe.

Catherine O'Hara, renowned television star, revealed that she had a crush on her 'Home Alone' co-star John Candy prior to his death.
The feelings were one-sided as Candy was already in a relationship with Rosemary Hobor, whom he married in 1979.
The duo met in 1974 when O’Hara joined the Second City theater troupe and was the understudy for comedy legend Gilda Radner.
Candy was always willing to lend a hand and help hone O’Hara's craft, especially in improvisational comedy.
The pair later reunited on the set of the 1990 film 'Home Alone', where Candy starred as Gus Polinski, the 'Polka King of the Midwest', who helps Kate McCallister (O’Hara) get home to her son Kevin (Macaulay Culkin).
