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.

I assume you must be the only person on the planet who hasn't seen Home Alone.

What sad news, she was such a great actress.

I haven't seen it, so pp is not the only one, but how crass to ask 'who'? I know her from SC and all the Christopher Guest films...she was great in Waiting for Guffman, as well as Best in Show.

Pretty much everyone I know in real life knows who she is.

If you don't know who it is why would you come on the thread?

Also everyone here is a person in real life and we all knew exactly who it was so that rather nullifies your point...

Schitts creek helped me through a really difficult time in my life - this has really saddened me 💔

She seems far too young. How sad

Mumsknot · 30/01/2026 20:04

Oh no! She was fabulous as Moira Rose

“KEVINNNNN!!!!”

RIP ☹️

Ah so sad, Moira Rose is an absolute icon 🌹💔

I always think people like @Netcurtainnelly are probably fetishist men seeking a good bollocking from MN to wank off to..... can't we just all agree to ignore them? 😅

Rainallnight · 30/01/2026 19:58

It’s so sad. I loved her in the Christopher Guest movies. RIP

Fold the cheese... iykyk.

TickyTacky · 30/01/2026 19:56

So very sad, much too young.

CurtsyFriends · 30/01/2026 19:55

She was amazing in SC…. Her phrases and eccentricity made the show. When I watched the first episode I wasn’t sure if I could cope with her character but I soon changed my mind.

Bebe…..

Passingthrough123 · 30/01/2026 19:54

I can't quite believe it. I loved her in Beetlejuice and adored her in Schitt's Creek – the fact there will never be a reunion or film of SC is so upsetting.

2021x · 30/01/2026 19:52

Wasn’t on the Bingo Card- currently watching Schitts Creek. Very sad but very grateful for the all the performances!

Oh there's always fucking one.

spiderlight · 30/01/2026 19:46

I'm genuinely so, so sad to hear this. She was iconic in Schitt's Creek. Incredibly talented.

Show quote history

Yes this. How can anyone not know who she is?!

How rude and disrepectful saying 'WHO?!' on a sad thread about a major celebrity dying. Shame on you @Netcurtainnelly Hmm

InNewYorkNoShoes · 30/01/2026 19:43

I absolutely adore her. I honestly feel sad

TwentyFourHoursToTulsa · 30/01/2026 19:43

Our 21 year old just rang us about it. Schitt's Creek was a major part of lockdown for us, and we have also watched the whole series again since then.

I re-watched Schitt's Creek again recently (a real comfort watch) except couldn't bring myself to watch the last episode as it makes me cry so much. No chance now
