She began working with Christopher Guest in 1996, starring in the mockumentary Waiting for Guffman, and starred in three more of his films: Best in Show, A Mighty Wind and For Your Consideration in 2006.

Guest praised O’Hara for her ability to master comedy and drama in their last collaboration together. “Catherine is one of not many actresses that can pull off both sides of this, where she’s incredibly funny but can also shift into an emotional area that surprises people and it’s just amazing, that transition,” he said.
