- O'Hara met her husband, Bo Welch, through Tim Burton while they were all working on 1988's Beetlejuice. Welch was a production designer on the movie and O'Hara was "grousing to Tim that this guy was talking to me everyday and never asked me out," so, O'Hara says, "Tim Burton basically made him ask me out.";
- O'Hara and Welch married in 1992, and are still married, but as a wedding gift, Burton gave the couple he helped set up a private tour of the Vatican;
- So, during their Vatican tour, O'Hara recalls this "wild" priest taking them everywhere, including the Pope's closet and a private museum full of gifts, such as crowns and jewels, in glass cases given to the Vatican from all over the world. The priest tour guide let the newlyweds open the cases and "take out crowns and pretend to be putting them in my husband's backpack."
