When O’Hara, now 70 years old, was cast in the beloved 1988 Tim Burton film about a raunchy, mischievous spirit (played by Michael Keaton), she had no idea how the weird and wacky story would land. “You never know how something’s going to be received,” she says. “I mean, that’s the magic. That’s the scariest thing. But if you’re lucky enough to work with people who make each day exciting, creative and stimulating, that’s the best, because you really don’t know where it’s gonna go from there. So much of it is luck and timing.”

O’Hara considers her- self “a freak” because she’s decided to age naturally in an industry where the pressure to look young is immense. “I do think of age, but otherwise, I rarely look in the mirror,” she says. “I feel that now, stories about people my age usually have to do with death and divorce and disease. So I’m really fortunate [to] have people around me who respect aging people and who give me new experiences. I’d like to think that the kind of roles I’m getting to play now are roles that people are getting to play in life. I’m playing a studio head who becomes an independent producer—how beautiful is it that someone my age is doing this? It’s the way it should be.”

The September 2024 issue of ELLE Canada is on newsstands now.
