Catherine O'Hara and John Candy standing close together at what appears to be an indoor gathering. Catherine O’Hara is on the left, wearing a light blue sweater and smiling while looking to her right. She is holding a small glass in one hand and a clutch-style purse under her arm. John Candy is on the right, wearing a dark jacket over a light, open-collared shirt, smiling directly toward the camera. The background is dimly lit, with other people partially visible behind them.
