LEGENDARY Canadian folk singer Gordon Lightfoot who helped to define the folk sound of the 60s and 70s has died.
The musician who wrote hits like Early Morning Rain and The Wreck of Edmund Fitzgerald died on Monday after experiencing health struggles. He was 84.

Lightfoot had canceled his 2023 tour dates for ‘health-related issues’ before his death[/caption]
A representative of Lightfoot confirmed his death to the AP and said he spent his final moments in a Canadian hospital.
His cause of death is unclear.
He had recently canceled all of his 2023 tour dates for “health-related issues,” but did not say exactly what problems were plaguing him.
Born in 1938, Lightfoot would go on to write 20 albums and earn impressive stardom while sticking firmly to his Canadian heritage.
He is one of the few Canadian stars to rocket to fame without ever having to leave his home country.
Dozens of artists have covered his Grammy-nominated work, including Elvis Presley, Barbra Streisand, and Johnny Cash.
Lightfoot mainly wrote autobiographical stories that explored the Canadian national identity through deeply personal lyrics.
He described songwriting as “isolating” and shocked fans when he announced a new record in 2020 titled Solo.
The album features solely Lightfoot and his guitar with no accompaniments.
The musician has had serious health scares throughout the year, but continued to work in his advanced age.
In January 2002, he suffered an aneurysm that led to a brutal six-week coma and four surgeries.
After staying in the hospital for three months, he was finally released and recovered at home.
But he did not let the health issues set him back, and went on to record an album on his harrowing experience.
Over a decade later, he began touring for the first time in 35 years and played for fans across England, Ireland, and Scotland in 2016.
Speaking with The Canadian Press, he said: “At this age, my challenge is doing the best show I can.
“I’m very much improved from where I was and the seriousness with which I take it.”
Throughout his illustrious career, Lightfoot collected 12 Juno Awards and earned five Grammy nominations.
In 1986, he was inducted into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame and was welcomed into the Canadian Country Music Hall of Fame in 2001.

Tallia shared the fiery outfit with her 544K followers, with the caption: “Left him on red,” followed by a chilli emoji.
The musican paired the look with an all red bomber jacket, red lipstick and red nails to compliment the cut-out jumpsuit.
Her statement blonde locks were curled into a glam style as she opted for a full-face of makeup and silver jewellery.
She could be seen lounging in the back-seat of a car as she posed for the snaps, with pictures to follow of her enjoying a pizza, dancing whilst stood in the middle of a wrestling ring and stood with pals.
Tallia was attending the Domino’s Wrestle Mexicana at Village Underground in London.
The star topped off her look with a pair of red, high-heeled patent boots, that she could be seen shuffling in whilst showing off her moves.
Tallia’s followers were quick to share their appreciation in the comments, with one writing: “Obsessed with you.”
Another wrote: “Wow, absolutely stunning Tallia.”
A third added: “Lovely pictures and outfit you look fabulous.”
“Red is my favourite colour,” quipped a fourth.
The Capital Scotland Breakfast host ran The Lady Garden Foundation 5K run at Hyde Park in London, this month.
The event was hosted by Davina McCall and charity founder Jenny Halpern Prince.
It was also attended by fellow stars Trinny Woodall and Katya Jones.
The singer also showed her love for wellness last week, when she visited London physical therapy clinic Stretch Lab.
She shared a time lapse video of her session and told fans how great she felt afterwards.
Tallia wrote: “There’s no way I rather start my day. I leave here feeling 1000000/10 after a 45 min stretch! Couldn’t recommend this enough, mind, body & soul!”
The Scots songstress also rocked a daring, sheer, floor-length dress last week which she paired with a messy bun and silver hatched handbag.

Inside colourful life of MasterChef Australia host Jock Zonfrillo – from battles with heroin to losing virginity at 12 ... https://ift.tt/qnLaRCP

CELEB chef Jock Zonfrillo once compared his life to the 1990s film Trainspotting and was open about the demons he had faced.
The MasterChef Australia host, 46, died tragically on Sunday after police were called to a hotel in Melbourne.

Born in Glasgow, Scotland, Jock’s life was famously colourful, and he spoke openly about his previous battles with heroin addiction and turning his life around.
Friends and colleagues from the culinary world including Gordon Ramsay and Nigella Lawson have paid tribute to the celebrity shock following news of his shocking death.
Jock’s last Instagram post about the new season of MasterChef Australia starring Jamie Oliver was shared just hours before he was found dead by police at a hotel in the Carlton area of Melbourne.
He is survived by his wife Lauren Fried, whom he met on Twitter, and their four children.
Jock’s last name came from his father’s roots in Scauri, Italy, which helped influence his love of food.
His entry into the restaurant trade, he said, happened purely by chance.
Before his 13th birthday, he and his family were on holiday in the former Yugoslavia when, according to Jock, he lost his virginity to a “much older French woman”.
Writing about the experience in his memoir, Last Shot, Jock said: “I was 12, she was French and much older. It was very wrong, now that I think back.”
But Jock returned to Scotland infused with a love for the street food he encountered in southern Europe.
After looking for a job so he could buy a bike, he started working in the one place that would hire him: a local restaurant.
From then on, he said, he knew he wanted to be a chef.
But just a year later, still in his early teens, he got a glimpse into the darker side of the industry when, as he put it, he was offered cocaine by his colleagues.
Soon, he was partying in Glasgow most weekends, at a time in the late 1980s when the city was, in his words, “absolutely awash” with drugs.
Jock and his friends started with buying weed, before splitting ecstasy pills that could be bought for just £25.
Soon afterwards, however, he tried heroin for the first time, and felt a high “unlike anything he’d ever had before”.
Jock claimed he would shoot up at least twice a day, and that withdrawal left him with “shakes, muscle pain and nausea”.
Jock was normal, he was healthy and he was living a good life

However, despite his drug problems, his career was going from strength to strength, and in 1994 he got a job working for top chef Marco Pierre White.
At one stage, he became homeless after falling behind on payments to his heroin dealers and started sleeping at work.
Jock claimed that when he came clean about his struggles with his boss, Marco was able to find him a hostel to stay in and even gave him money to survive.
However, following the release of the memoir, Marco came out and disputed Jock’s claims, saying that the two actually spoke very little and that he only worked in his kitchen for a short time.
Jock moved to Australia in 2000 after successfully kicking his heroin habit, saying he injected for the final time just before boarding his flight.

In 2002, Jock faced legal action after setting fire to a kitchen apprentice in what he insisted was a “practical joke gone wrong”.
The teenager, Martin Krammer, suffered extensive burns and was unable to work for more than three months.
He later sued Jock for $75,000 Australian (£40k), although Jock declared bankruptcy and, according to Krammer, he was “never paid a cent”.
Over 20 years, Jock built up a formidable reputation as a top chef, launching Orana, his first restaurant, in the city of Adelaide in 2013.
In 2019, he joined MasterChef Australia as a judge alongside Melissa Leong and Andy Allen.
The following year, Orana was forced to shut down with millions of dollars in debt, despite being named Australia’s best restaurant in 2018’s Good Food Guide.
Friends say he was positive about the latest series of MasterChef and excited about working alongside his friend Jamie Oliver.
Fellow celeb chef and pal Colin Fassnidge said Jock was “on top of the world” during their final conversation.
Colin, who appeared on My Kitchen Rules and Kitchen Nightmares, knew Jock for 20 years.
He told Daily Mail Australia: “It’s so shocking.”
Colin added that when they last spoke six months ago, Jock “was flying, he was doing a great job, he had a great show, he was on top of the world.
“Jock was normal, he was healthy and he was living a good life. I just feel so sorry for his other half.”
The chef’s family put out a statement on his Instagram and Facebook following the tragic news.
They wrote: “With completely shattered hearts and without knowing how we can possibly move through life without him, we are devastated to share that Jock passed away yesterday.”
The statement went on: “For those who crossed his path, became his mate, or were lucky enough to be his family, keep this proud Scot in your hearts when you have your next whisky.”
Victoria Police say they found Jock’s body just after 2am on Monday morning after being called to a hotel on Lygon Street for a welfare check.
No information has been given about the cause of death, but authorities aren’t treating it as suspicious at this time.
A report is due to be prepared for the coroner.

RITA Ora looked sensational in a bright pink Chanel mini corset and frilly hotpants in New York City on Sunday ahead of the Met Gala.
The Hot Right Now singer, 32, said the outfit was in memory of Karl Lagerfeld, where the theme will honour the late German fashion designer.

Rita was spotted leaving her hotel as she she prepared for the event on Monday.
The songstress showed off her ample assets in the figure-hugging ensemble, decorated with baby pink flowers around the bust.
She flashed her toned legs and bottom in the barely-there dress and elongated her pins with a pair of black heels.
Rita optimised her glam look with a pink statement coat which she elegantly draped around her shoulders.
The pop star opted for black sunglasses and wore her blonde tresses in a chic updo.
She finished off her showstopping look with flawless make-up, adding a pop of colour with some bright pink lipstick.
The singer previously stepped out in the same outfit back in 2013, when she was joined by Lagerfeld at the Bal De La Rose Du Rocher in aid of the Foundation Princess Grace in Monte-Carlo.
Rita shared photos of her sporting the corset again in tribute of Lagerfeld and wrote: “In memory of Karl I had to bring back this custom piece he made me for a Chanel show performance I did with him in Monaco back in 2016. See you tomorrow!!”
Her followers were in awe of the look and flocked to compliment her.
One wrote: “Very nice pictures, beautiful Rita.”
Another posted: “Looking stunning as always.”
Each year, the exclusive event is hosted at The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
This year the event will honour fashion icon Karl, who was credited with reviving Chanel’s fortunes after he became their creative director in 1983 – a role he held until his death in 2019.
He was recognised for his signature white hair, black sunglasses, fingerless gloves, and high, starched, detachable collars.
He was at the top of the fashion world, running the Chanel and Fendi houses and also had his own Karl Lagerfeld brand.
During his life, Lagerfeld amassed a HUGE net worth estimated at up to £153million
Although the event is socially known as a night for many famous people to step out in high fashion, the event is dedicated to raising funds for the Met’s Costume Institute.

Kim Kardashian shares SNL sketch and flaunts curves in Skims bodysuit just days before ex Pete Davidson is set to host ... https://ift.tt/qnLaRCP

KIM Kardashian has treated fans to a throwback from the time she hosted Saturday Night Live.
Kim, 42, took to Instagram on Sunday and shared a video of a Skims skit she performed when she fronted the popular television show back in October 2021.

In the clip, the reality star was dressed in a long-sleeved, nude-colored bodysuit from her clothing brand with a pair of beige high-waisted trousers.
Kim was sporting sleek jet-black hair and managed to keep a straight face as she promoted Skims for thick dogs.
During the hilarious skit, Kim was joined by Kenan Thompson and a dog – who appeared to be dressed in Skims shapewear.
She captioned the post: “Our new @skims shapewear dropped yesterday and reminded me of this SNL skit.”
Of course, SNL is where Kim shared a kiss with comedian Pete Davidson as part of a separate skit.
The pair were romantically linked a few months later, and in May 2022, they attended the prestigious Met Gala together.
However, by August 2022, their romance appeared to have fizzled out and Pete is now in a relationship with actress Chase Sui Wonders.
But it seems that some fans are still pining over Kim and Pete as one follower commented on her Instagram video: “I still miss you and Pete.”
Another fan agreed and wrote: “I also miss them together,” while a third said: “Me too,” followed by a crying emoji face.
It’s been reported that Pete may return to host SNL this weekend after quitting the weekly show last year.
Speaking at the premiere of Pete’s new series Bupkis last week, Kenan opened up about Pete coming back.
“It’s like a week off for us because they know how to do the show,” the 44-year-old told Entertainment Tonight, referring to Pete hosting SNL.
“We don’t have to hand-walk them through every single part of it. Usually, they come with ideas too, so a quarter of the show is almost already done. It’s just a fun, easy week for us,” he added.

Another fan agreed and wrote: “I also miss them together,” while a third said: “Me too,” followed by a crying emoji face.
It’s been reported that Pete may return to host SNL this weekend after quitting the weekly show last year.
Speaking at the premiere of Pete’s new series Bupkis last week, Kenan opened up about Pete coming back.
“It’s like a week off for us because they know how to do the show,” the 44-year-old told Entertainment Tonight, referring to Pete hosting SNL.
“We don’t have to hand-walk them through every single part of it. Usually, they come with ideas too, so a quarter of the show is almost already done. It’s just a fun, easy week for us,” he added.

KHLOE Kardashian has been pictured rubbing Usher’s abs and nipples during a wild night in Las Vegas.
Khloe, 38, flew to Sin City on Saturday with her big sister Kim Kardashian and some pals to watch Usher perform live as part of his residency.

The siblings were clearly having a great time and shared plenty of footage of themselves on their Instagram Stories.
Good American co-founder Khloe had ditched her underwear for the occasion and showed off her svelte figure in a skintight cut-out dress.
As Usher performed some of his biggest hits, the two sisters danced against one another as they flaunted their best moves.
At one point, 44-year-old Usher entered the audience and stopped to perform right in front of Kim, Khloe, and their pals.
Mom-of-two Khloe clearly got very excited and was caught on camera stroking the singer’s bare chest.
In another shot, either Khloe or Kim appeared to be caressing his bare nipples as he grinned from ear to ear and continued singing.
Khloe’s cheeky behavior comes after fans continued to speculate about whether or not she is back with her cheating ex-boyfriend Tristan Thompson.
At the beginning of April, the two were spotted hanging out together in Rialto, California.
In a video taken inside a McDonald’s drive-thru window, the on-and-off again couple was seen picking up Happy Meals for their two young children.
Even though followers are convinced the exes have reunited, the mom-of-two recently claimed she is single on The Jennifer Hudson Show.
Despite Khloe declaring that she’s single and interested in being on a dating show, her ex Tristan 32, has been welcomed back into the Kar-Jenner family.
The U.S. Sun exclusively spoke to a source close to the famous family about Tristan’s involvement.
“Tristan has basically been welcomed back into the Kardashian family fold yet again and is spending a lot of time with them,” the insider said.
“He drove up with Khloe to Palm Springs early last week and was there until Sunday with their kids, Kris [Jenner], Kim, and the whole gang.
“They were staying at Kris and Kylie’s side-by-side homes and Bright Event Rentals decked out the entire place for a huge Easter party.”
“Kim’s jet was going back and forth all week from LA to Palm Springs, which is 33 minutes each way, but Khloe and Tristan spent eight hours doing the round-trip together,” the source added.
Khloe and Tristan share two kids: a five-year-old daughter True and a baby boy whose name is not yet known.

LITTLE People, Big World fans have expressed irritation with Audrey Roloff in a new online forum.
LPBW supporters are tired of seeing Audrey doing things that they deemed unacceptable.
Little People, Big World’s Audrey Roloff got slammed for her latest Instagram Stories[/caption]
Audrey shared a snap of herself at a friend’s baby shower barefoot[/caption]
Audrey, 31, shared a snap of her and her hubby Jeremy, 32, posed together at their friend’s baby shower on her Instagram Stories.
Both attended the function in casual attire.
Jeremy sported a simple white T-shirt, jeans, and brown boots.
Meanwhile, Audrey wore a light denim jumpsuit; However, unlike Jeremy, she was barefoot.
The former reality star explained in her caption her reason for being barefoot, attempting to save herself from scrutiny.
“I did in fact wear shoes to the party,” Audrey wrote.
“Just took them off to be more competitive in games + grounding.”
WHO DOES THAT?
Audrey’s snap made it to a Reddit page, where many fans harshly judged her in spite of her detailed reasoning.
“Who just takes their shoes off and walks around barefoot at a nice baby shower when no one else is barefoot? She’s so odd,” one fan slammed.
“She’s gross!” a user raged while one said: “Do you know how many diseases and things you can contract walking around bare foot like that? Ew!”
A third fan ranted: “My god, you know she is the insufferable, loud, ‘look at me’ person everywhere she goes.”
Someone else noted: “If she’s not the most attention seeking person I have ever encountered. My god, the amount of eye rolls she must get on a regular basis.”
While Audrey had many haters, she did have some fans who defended her choice to be shoeless.
“In fairness, do we know everyone else wasn’t taking off their shoes for grounding? I always assume the ‘friends’ usually do similar dippy things,” a fan challenged.
AWKWARD AUDREY
Audrey has been getting backlash from fans since last year.
Most recently, fans called her out over a bad habit with her husband amid rumors of marriage trouble.
Audrey and Jeremy took a trip to Tennessee and did an Instagram Live, fielding questions from fans.
While Jeremy and Audrey both appeared in the video, the mom-of-three did most of the talking.
The LPBW alums fielded questions from fans about a variety of topics.
Jeremy started talking early on, trying to make a point about a concept called grounding.
“We had two things we specifically wanted to talk about. One thing is–,” Jeremy began saying.
Audrey quickly cut him off, laughing and making a seemingly snide comment.
She then took over the conversation, saying: “Anytime we have conversations about health stuff, you guys always ask questions about grounding and our grounding mattress pad and the benefits of walking barefoot outside and Jer does a really good job explaining it.”
She asked, “Do you want to explain it?” and when he answered, “Yeah,” she apologized.
Jeremy began to explain the concept but was again cut off by his wife.
Commenters took notice and shared their thoughts under the post.
One wrote: “You interrupt him a lot,” while another pleaded, “Let him talk.”
Someone replied to that, writing: “Yeah, she talks over him and interrupts him.”
A fourth comment read: “Love you both but I wish Audrey would not constantly interrupt!”
Many fans felt that it was unacceptable for Audrey to be at the baby shower shoeless[/caption]
Audrey has been getting been getting criticism from fans online for months[/caption]
Recently Audrey was dragged by fans for how she interacted with her hubby Jeremy in a video[/caption]

Where Beetlejuice cast are now – from dating Friends star to shoplifting arrest and ‘It girl’ who had four divorces ... https://ift.tt/hLPcOxB

IT’S 35 years since Tim Burton’s Beetlejuice hit our screens and became an instant classic.
This week it was revealed a long-awaited sequel is now in the pipeline, with Tim Burton once again at the helm.
Beetlejuice, starring Michael Keaton and Winona Ryder, was released in 1988[/caption]
It’s rumoured Wednesday star Jenny Ortego is in talks to star as the daughter of Winona Ryder’s character Lydia Deetz, and that Michael Keaton will reprise the title role.
The spooky 1988 flick helped launch Winona’s career and also catapulted Alec Baldwin onto the A-List.
But the fortunes of the cast have been mixed – from a shoplifting charge and sex scandal to an Oscar-winning comeback.
Here we look at the “strange and unusual” lives of the Beetlejuice cast.
Michael Keaton
Michael starred as the malevolent spirit
Already an established actor, Michael turned down the title role three times because he didn’t understand the concept but was finally persuaded by pal Tim Burton.
He later said he shaped the iconic look of the malevolent phantom, telling the make-up team: “I want mould on my face. My hair has to look like I stuck my finger in an electric socket.”
The actor went on to land the lead in the 1989 comic book hit Batman and its sequel Batman Returns, and also starred in The Paper (1994), Multiplicity (1996) and the 1997 movie Jackie Brown.
He suffered a career lull in the Noughties, although he later said it was a conscious decision to take a step back because he fancied “taking a pause” to enjoy “having a normal life”.
He told the Guardian he was “getting bored, hearing the sound of my voice, seeing the same old tricks. So I may have lost interest, combined with a whole lot of people not knocking on my door”.
Michael returned to movies in 2008 and six years later cemented his epic comeback with the movie Birdman, which landed him a Best Actor Oscar and a Golden Globe.
Career rebooted, he went on to star in Spotlight (2015), The Founder (2016) and, more recently, award-winning 2021 TV miniseries Dopesick.
While filming Beetlejuice, Michael was married to Caroline McWilliams and they share a son, Sean, now 40. They divorced in 1990 after eight years and she sadly passed away in 2010 from blood cancer.
Michael, now 71, dated Friends star Courteney Cox for five years, until 1995 and has been dating Marni Turner for six years.
Winona Ryder
Winona starred as troubled teen Lydia in Beetlejuice
Winona was just 16 when she starred as Lydia Deetz and revealed she was an awkward teen who hoped she would be accepted by classmates after the film’s release.
“But it made things worse,” she told Marie Claire. “They called me a witch.”
It did prove a breakthrough role, leading to cult classic Heathers in 1998 and the role of Jerry Lee Lewis’s cousin and child bride Myra in 1989’s Great Balls Of Fire.
She dated Rob Lowe and Christian Slater before falling for Johnny Depp when they met on the set of Edward Scissorhands in 1989, when she was just 17.
Johnny, then 27, proposed after five months.
Winona went on to film Mermaids in 1990, but caught a respiratory infection on set which meant she had to drop out of Godfather Part III, leaving many fearing she had scuppered her own career.
But she proved them wrong with a role in the hit 1992 film Dracula.
Troubled times were ahead, however, with a heartbreaking split from Depp in 1993 which she called her “Girl, Interrupted, real life” – referring to her role as a teenager with mental illness in the iconic film released six years later.
Her career hit the skids in 2001 when she was arrested for shoplifting, having allegedly stolen more than £4,000 worth of designer clothes and accessories from Saks Fifth Avenue in Beverly Hills.
She was put on probation and ordered to do 480 hours of community service, pay over £8,000 in fines and undergo psychological and drug counselling.
After a 15 year hiatus, during which Winona made the odd cameo in films like Black Swan, she made a triumphant comeback as Joyce Byers in Stranger Things.
Now 51, she has been dating fashion designer Scott Mackinlay Hahn for 12 years.
Geena Davis
Geena starred as tragic bride Barbara
Geena, 67, played newlywed Barbara Maitland, who returns as a ghost to her lonely farmhouse with her husband after they are both killed in a car crash.
Three years after the film Geena starred with Susan Sarandon in her biggest hit, Thelma and Louise, before landing a role in A League of Their Own in 1992.
Named as the ’90s ‘It girl’, Geena’s love life away has been less than smooth – with four divorces behind her.
She wed New York restaurateur Richard Emmolo in 1981, but they divorced three years later.
She went on to date Jurassic Park star Jeff Goldblum and the pair married in 1987, but he filed for divorce after three years.
In 1993 she tied the knot with Finnish filmmaker Renny Harlin, who directed her in the 1995 pirate romp Cutthroat Island and The Long Kiss Goodnight.
They split after five years and she began dating surgeon Reza Jarrahy, 15 years her junior at 52, – with whom she shares daughter Alizeh, 20, and fraternal twin sons Kaiis and Kian, 18.
They ‘wed’ in 2001, and Geena told Good Housekeeping. “I did say to Reza, ‘You’re about to become someone’s fourth husband. What on earth are you thinking?’ But as for myself, I wasn’t nervous at all.
“It was exciting to know I was marrying someone who I can be cranky or selfish in front of and he doesn’t run screaming from the room or judge me for it.”
While Reza insisted they were legally married, Geena claimed they never officially tied the knot after their 2017 separation and bitter custody battle.
Geena dialled back her career while her kids were young and has recently starred in Fairyland.
On a possible return to her Beetlejuice role, she joked: “Ghosts probably don’t age, and it’s going to be 30 years now. Of course, I haven’t aged, but I think Alec Baldwin maybe has aged, perhaps.”
Alec Baldwin
Alec has had a bumpy ride recently
Alec – who played Barbara’s husband Adam – became a household name after the film, despite predicting it could end his career.
“I had no idea what it was about,” he told GQ in 2019. “I thought my, all of our careers are going to end with the release of this film. Maybe we’re all going to be dead.”
Alec went on to star in The Hunt for Red October in 1990 and met future wife Kim Basinger working on 1991’s The Marrying Man.
They made it official in 1993 and welcomed daughter Ireland two years later.
But their split in 2000 was one of the most toxic break-ups in Hollywood history with a long and public court battle which Alec complained cost him over £1million.
Seven years into the legal battle he was slammed after the release of a phone message to Ireland, then 11, where he called her a “rude, thoughtless little pig”.
Alec said he was left suicidal after the call was leaked to the public.
Other film credits include The Cooler (2003), The Departed (2006), and the 2004 movie The Aviator. He also starred in Tina Fey’s series 30 Rock from 2006 to 2013.
In 2012 he married current wife Hilaria and the pair now have seven kids.
In recent years Alec, now 64, has starred in Blue Jasmine and Still Alice, but his career has been marred by a tragic death on the set of his Western epic Rust in 2021.
Cinematographer Halyna Hutchins died after a real bullet was fired from the actor’s prop gun. Alec was initially charged with involuntary manslaughter, and faced up to five years in prison.
Earlier this month the charges were dropped pending further investigation, and filming resumed.
Catherine O’Hara
Catherine is now starring in Schitt’s Creek
Canadian Catherine was a TV comedian when she was asked to audition for Delia Deetz, her first Hollywood role, but she missed her audition after getting lost en route to meeting Tim Burton in Burbank, and was offered the role anyway.
“It’s a good trick. If you’re bad at auditioning, just don’t go,” she joked.
The movie put her on the Hollywood map, leading to roles in the 1990 smash Home Alone, Best in Show (2000) and the 2002 movie Orange County.
Beetlejuice was also where she met husband Bo Welch, a production designer. The couple wed in 1992 and have two sons – Matthew, born in 1994, and Luke, born in 1997.
Catherine, now 69, landed arguably her most iconic role in 2015; eccentric matriarch Moira Rose in the long-running comedy Schitt’s Creek.
Jeffrey Jones
Jeffrey Jones was disgraced over teen sex charge
Well-known character actor Jeffrey Jones had already starred as the headmaster in teen smash Ferris Bueller’s Day Off when he played Lydia’s dad Charles Deetz in Beetlejuice.
He also appeared in other Tim Burton movies, including 1994’s Ed Wood and the 1999 smash Sleepy Hollow.
His career came to an abrupt end in 2001 when a 14-year-old boy reported him to the Los Angeles Police Department, claiming the actor made him pose for sexually explicit photos.
He was charged with sexual offences involving a minor and pleaded no contest.
He was sentenced to five years’ probation and counselling and forced to renew his entry on the sex offenders registry every year.
He faced another charge in 2010 for not updating his sex registry data, and the disgraced actor was charged with 250 days of community service.

After a 15 year hiatus, during which Winona made the odd cameo in films like Black Swan, she made a triumphant comeback as Joyce Byers in Stranger Things.
Now 51, she has been dating fashion designer Scott Mackinlay Hahn for 12 years.
Geena Davis
Geena starred as tragic bride Barbara
Geena, 67, played newlywed Barbara Maitland, who returns as a ghost to her lonely farmhouse with her husband after they are both killed in a car crash.
Three years after the film Geena starred with Susan Sarandon in her biggest hit, Thelma and Louise, before landing a role in A League of Their Own in 1992.
Named as the ’90s ‘It girl’, Geena’s love life away has been less than smooth – with four divorces behind her.
She wed New York restaurateur Richard Emmolo in 1981, but they divorced three years later.
She went on to date Jurassic Park star Jeff Goldblum and the pair married in 1987, but he filed for divorce after three years.
In 1993 she tied the knot with Finnish filmmaker Renny Harlin, who directed her in the 1995 pirate romp Cutthroat Island and The Long Kiss Goodnight.
They split after five years and she began dating surgeon Reza Jarrahy, 15 years her junior at 52, – with whom she shares daughter Alizeh, 20, and fraternal twin sons Kaiis and Kian, 18.
They ‘wed’ in 2001, and Geena told Good Housekeeping. “I did say to Reza, ‘You’re about to become someone’s fourth husband. What on earth are you thinking?’ But as for myself, I wasn’t nervous at all.
“It was exciting to know I was marrying someone who I can be cranky or selfish in front of and he doesn’t run screaming from the room or judge me for it.”
While Reza insisted they were legally married, Geena claimed they never officially tied the knot after their 2017 separation and bitter custody battle.
Geena dialled back her career while her kids were young and has recently starred in Fairyland.
On a possible return to her Beetlejuice role, she joked: “Ghosts probably don’t age, and it’s going to be 30 years now. Of course, I haven’t aged, but I think Alec Baldwin maybe has aged, perhaps.”
Alec Baldwin
Alec has had a bumpy ride recently
Alec – who played Barbara’s husband Adam – became a household name after the film, despite predicting it could end his career.
“I had no idea what it was about,” he told GQ in 2019. “I thought my, all of our careers are going to end with the release of this film. Maybe we’re all going to be dead.”
Alec went on to star in The Hunt for Red October in 1990 and met future wife Kim Basinger working on 1991’s The Marrying Man.
They made it official in 1993 and welcomed daughter Ireland two years later.
But their split in 2000 was one of the most toxic break-ups in Hollywood history with a long and public court battle which Alec complained cost him over £1million.
Seven years into the legal battle he was slammed after the release of a phone message to Ireland, then 11, where he called her a “rude, thoughtless little pig”.
Alec said he was left suicidal after the call was leaked to the public.
Other film credits include The Cooler (2003), The Departed (2006), and the 2004 movie The Aviator. He also starred in Tina Fey’s series 30 Rock from 2006 to 2013.
In 2012 he married current wife Hilaria and the pair now have seven kids.
In recent years Alec, now 64, has starred in Blue Jasmine and Still Alice, but his career has been marred by a tragic death on the set of his Western epic Rust in 2021.
Cinematographer Halyna Hutchins died after a real bullet was fired from the actor’s prop gun. Alec was initially charged with involuntary manslaughter, and faced up to five years in prison.
Earlier this month the charges were dropped pending further investigation, and filming resumed.
Catherine O’Hara
Catherine is now starring in Schitt’s Creek
Canadian Catherine was a TV comedian when she was asked to audition for Delia Deetz, her first Hollywood role, but she missed her audition after getting lost en route to meeting Tim Burton in Burbank, and was offered the role anyway.
“It’s a good trick. If you’re bad at auditioning, just don’t go,” she joked.
The movie put her on the Hollywood map, leading to roles in the 1990 smash Home Alone, Best in Show (2000) and the 2002 movie Orange County.
Beetlejuice was also where she met husband Bo Welch, a production designer. The couple wed in 1992 and have two sons – Matthew, born in 1994, and Luke, born in 1997.
Catherine, now 69, landed arguably her most iconic role in 2015; eccentric matriarch Moira Rose in the long-running comedy Schitt’s Creek.
Jeffrey Jones
Jeffrey Jones was disgraced over teen sex charge
Well-known character actor Jeffrey Jones had already starred as the headmaster in teen smash Ferris Bueller’s Day Off when he played Lydia’s dad Charles Deetz in Beetlejuice.
He also appeared in other Tim Burton movies, including 1994’s Ed Wood and the 1999 smash Sleepy Hollow.
His career came to an abrupt end in 2001 when a 14-year-old boy reported him to the Los Angeles Police Department, claiming the actor made him pose for sexually explicit photos.
He was charged with sexual offences involving a minor and pleaded no contest.
He was sentenced to five years’ probation and counselling and forced to renew his entry on the sex offenders registry every year.
He faced another charge in 2010 for not updating his sex registry data, and the disgraced actor was charged with 250 days of community service.

The Today Show host posted a selection of photos from his romantic evening on Instagram yesterday.

Fans declared how ‘cute’ the couple was in the series of photos from inside a characterful restaurant[/caption]
Al Roker documented a variety of moments from the dinner and drinks he shared with his wife of 27 years.
In the first photo, he snapped a photo of the exterior of the restaurant, then followed up with a photo of his wife and the restaurant owner.
Deborah, 62, smiled happily as she posed with her arm around her friend inside the building.
The ABC host wore white sneakers with loose navy slacks, topped with a comfortable chunky knit cardigan.
Al also captured some shots of the interior of the restaurant, which looked like an old-school diner, fitted with shiny stools and vintage items.
The 68-year-old also posted a sweet photo of himself and Deborah.
The duo sat closely at a table and smiled as they held up their drinks to the camera.
Following this, Al snapped a couple of photos of his food, followed by a pic of Deborah sitting in an old phone booth.
The daytime TV star captioned the post: “Congratulations to @astrid_sunshine and her hubby, Patrick on opening the best new restaurant in @columbiacountyny @shadow66restaurant.
“The decor, the food, the service: #manifique.”
Deborah commented on her husband’s post: “Such a beautiful night!” with a heart eyes emoji.
One fan wrote: “Beautiful. You two are just the cutest couple. You both make my heart happy.”
Another gushed: “So cute!”
LASTING LOVE
The long-term couple has been married since 1995, and share two children – Leila, 24, and Nick, 20.
Al also has a daughter Courtney, 36, from a previous relationship.
The couple has been enjoying spending time together after Al’s health issues last year, during which Deborah worried that he wouldn’t make it to Christmas.
He was hospitalized twice for blood clots in his legs and lungs last year, and was absent from the morning show for nearly two months.
He tried to regain weight and strength after his hospital stays.
When Al finally returned to the morning show at the beginning of January, Deborah went back to work at the ABC newsroom as well.
He confessed: “Look, I had two complicating things. I had blood clots, which they think came up after I had COVID in September.
“And then I had this internal bleeding going on, I lost half my blood. They were trying to figure out where it was.”
Deborah’s husband joked that he “went in for one operation” and “got four for free.”
