Season 2 of The Studio is without one of their beloved stars, Catherine O'Hara, who played Patty Leigh. She is an essential part of the show, so a question fans have on their minds: How will they push forward without her? As you know, the iconic actress died at 71 from a pulmonary embolism, with rectal cancer as the underlying cause, at the end of January. She was supposed to begin filming the award-winning show a week before her death, but she missed her first few scenes due to "personal matters." What no one expected was that she'd be gone soon afterward.
