Sarah Silverman Mourning Loss Of Mother
Comedienne Sarah Silverman Is Mourning The Loss Of Her Mother Beth Ann O'hara, Who Died Last Week (Ends23aug15) At The Age Of 73.
The devastated Wreck-It Ralph star penned a moving online tribute to her mum following the tragic news on Wednesday (19Aug15), honouring O'Hara's parenting skills when Silverman was growing up.
In a post on Twitter.com, she writes, "Wednesday morning my mom died. She was a know-it-all in overalls & two different coloured socks. And defiantly, no bra.
"The woman who, when I was little, gave me detailed directions to a restaurant ladies room then secretly watched as I found my way to it on my own. The woman who went back to college at 42, and skinny dipped in ponds, and told me never to protect myself from a broken heart because it was so very worth the pain to get to experience love."
O'Hara produced and directed more than 50 plays during a career in theatre, and was presented with a lifetime achievement award by Silverman at the New Hampshire Theater Awards in 2003.
