Am not usually one to post these kinds of threads but this is so sad. I've loved her since childhood and am currently in the middle of a Schitt's Creek binge to take my mind off the usual winter bugs. She was such a fantastic actress and so, so funny.

There is ALWAYS one 🙄

Beetlejuice and the banana boat song. Absolute classic. Self conscious younger me could never imagine acting like that. She was an icon.

Why bother bloody posting then?

Americano75 · 30/01/2026 20:35

My cat died yesterday and now this. 2026 can get in the fucking bin already.

Most people will not.

I do agree that probably most people won't know her name but absolutely millions of people know who the mum from home alone is

But that's not the point is it, it doesn't excuse the crassness of your original post. Asking presupposes that you have an interest in the answer so it's a bit rich to now pretend to be above such things

Let’s all ignore the spectacular fuckwit that is @Netcurtainnelly. They’re obviously as thick as mince (sorry, mince).

I’m imagining Moira Rose’s response though…….

ThePoshUns · 30/01/2026 20:33

Moira Rose was my favourite comic character ever. Am so sad over this.

Hermyknee · 30/01/2026 20:32

This is really sad. She was mesmerising on screen.

AbbotSade1985 · 30/01/2026 20:31

I was watching the John Candy documentary earlier on Prime, and she was talking about having a dream after he died, where she asked him why did he have to die. Turned over and saw the news about her death!

RIP Catherine ❤

K Kawwww, K Kawwww, Kaawwww.

RIP Catherine. Thank you for taking one of my most disliked characters and making her one of my most loved. I actually felt a pain in my chest when I saw the announcement on another site a few minutes ago.

Rewatch of SC very soon for me.

It’s “educate yourself,” not “oneself.” Once again. Correcting others clearly isn’t your strength.

You idiot. Oneself is a reference to Moira Rose but you wouldn't know that would you?

Imagine thinking my entire cultural literacy hinges on recognising an actress from Home Alone. I’ll survive, promise.

oh wow 🤭 can I recommend Best in Show and A Mighty Wind, I think you might enjoy them

No one thinks that and equally no one with any sense of empathy thinks an appropriate post on a thread about someone who has died is who?

What's the thought process behind your post? Too lazy to Google?

PenelopeAsks · 30/01/2026 20:28

And those who say they dont know who she is can fuck off. Catherine was a wonderful actress and you not knowing her is irrelevant.

It’s “you’re “ not “your”. Once again, educate oneself.

That's sad, and no great age either.

SingedSoul · 30/01/2026 20:26

Very sad. Schitts Creek is amazing and she was brilliant in everything she was in.

KillTheTurkey · 30/01/2026 20:26

I absolutely love her in all of the Christopher Guest films. Her performance in Waiting for Guffman is chef’s kiss.

ProfessorLeveretGrey · 30/01/2026 20:25

Imagine thinking your input is so important you come onto a thread where you know nothing and feel your contribution is so important you have to express yourself. Because inside your own mind your lack of knowledge makes you superior.

Lacking in so many things. A sense of what is appropriate as a starter for 10.

PenelopeAsks · 30/01/2026 20:24

I finished my latest Shitts Creek rewatch yesterday. I can’t believe that Moira is gone. She was so wonderful.

Right now I'm guessing it hinges on Dumb & Dumber. If the cap fits...

My name is @Netcurtainnelly and I like to act like a knob on the internet

I'm actually flabbergasted, despite having watching both Home Alone many times sand SC all the way how did I not know that was her in both?

What a shame , no age at all
