    That's so sad. I loved her performance in The Studio.

    Edit:

    Odd, I don't recall ever being earlier to news than Wikipedia editors.

    It's confirmed by CBC.

    I was asked if there's any actor I would've liked to be not too long ago, and my answer was Catherine O'Hara. Absolute fucking legend of film, TV, comedy, you name it.

    Talk about leaving a legacy and being fawned over by comedy nerds and mainstream audiences alike… unparalleled performer. She will always be one of a kind.

    Or for people who live next to shitholes. Or have any natural resources that people who live in shitholes want. Or live anywhere where an elected representative has hurt the ego of the shithole in chief.

    The last time one of our photogs saw Catherine was at LAX in February 2024 ... when we asked her what role she would most want to be remembered for.

    Author then neglects to say what her answer was now that it is most relevant...

    Im guessing the answer is in the video above that paragraph, so we'll never know.

    If you're putting info in a video in a news article, you may as well bury it beneath the sands of the taklamakan desert.

    Couldn't have even told you there was a video on the page. I mostly browse the news while I'm at work, avoiding doing work. I have trained myself to ignore videos on news articles because I can't have the sound on. So yeah, info in a video embedded on a news site doesn't exist for me.

    Rest in peace, she was an iconic actress, and very very funny.

    2026 took away from us the wrong star from Home Alone 2...

    Catherine famously played Macaulay Culkin's mother in the first two 'Home Alone' movies ... and she appeared as Moira Rose in 80 episodes of "Schitt's Creek."

    Other notable movie credits include a couple mockumentaries in 2000's "Best in Show," and 2003's "A Mighty Wind" ... plus "Beetlejuice Beetlejuice" and the OG "Beetlejuice."

    How fucking ignorant is TMZ. She was famous way before that for SCTV. The irreplacable Lola Heatherton.

    This is very sad news. She was great in every role.

    Absolutely brutal. Felt ill when I read it. The unexpectedness of it makes it so much worse I think.

    Actually devastated that Schitts Creek is now forever done. Thought maybe we would get a movie.

    I think it's obvious she was widely loved and appreciated...I can imagine the particukar pain the Levys are feeling right now, besides her family obviously

    I did a bit when I told my mom the news but she didn't appreciate the humor.

    I'd like to think Ms. O'hara would though.
