This lady was a very talented lady, and I was sad to just hear the news.

Thanks for the laughs, Catherine.

Oh nooo! I adored her in Schitts Creek. How very sad.

Oh no...that's so sad 😞. I absolutely adored her. Such a talented actress. RIP X

Oh no! That’s so sad. She was fabulous.

She was brilliant - loved her as Moira

MarshaMarshaMarsha · 30/01/2026 18:34

Schitts Creek is utterly brilliant and she was just fantastic in it. I may have to rewatch it in her honour.

Daytimetellyqueen · 30/01/2026 18:34

So sad - she was great.

FinnJuhl · 30/01/2026 18:35

I have just started on the last series of Schitt's Creek. It will be even more bittersweet now, what a loss.

Screamingabdabz · 30/01/2026 18:36

Oh no - such a loss. She was so talented. RIP.

OnlyMabelInTheBuilding · 30/01/2026 18:36

This is so sad. She was amazing in SC

TomatoSandwiches · 30/01/2026 18:37

She was fantastic, loved her in Beetle Juice and SC. RIP.

GameOfJones · 30/01/2026 18:37

I've just seen this and actually shouted out loud "oh no!" when I saw the news. She was fantastic.

AliasGrape · 30/01/2026 18:38

Thats so sad, she was fantastic.

71 is no age these days.

SpinelessBastardsAll · 30/01/2026 18:38

She was amazing. I loved her in so many films.

WrappingPresents · 30/01/2026 18:38

That's sad. I haven't watched SC but have watched Home Alone the last few Christmases

ChardonnaysBeastlyCat · 30/01/2026 18:38

She was wonderful!

Pineneedlesincarpet · 30/01/2026 18:39

Oh Im so sad!! She was brilliant!!!! And so funny.

littleburn · 30/01/2026 18:40

Oh that’s so sad and no age at all. I loved her in Beetlejuice.

susiedaisy1912 · 30/01/2026 18:41

Just saw this. I’m gutted. 😿

ReturnOfTheToad · 30/01/2026 18:44

I watched home alone so many times as a kid and enjoyed Schitts Creek as an adult but never once did I twig that Moira was the mum from Home alone 😳

Terrible news. One of those celebrity deaths you feel genuinely sad about then feel a bit ridiculous because you didn’t know them…

Yep. Totally this. I actually got a bit teary.

TheLittleGreenFairy · 30/01/2026 18:46

Oh no that's sad news indeed, love her in Schitt's Creek and Home Alone.

EineReiseDurchDieZeit · 30/01/2026 18:47

Couldn’t believe this when I saw it. She was only recently in The Studio wasn’t she? . I wonder what happened it must’ve been sudden

WrappingPresents · 30/01/2026 18:38

Please watch it, it’s just so good and different to anything else!

SheldontheWonderSchlong · 30/01/2026 18:49

This is so sad. Delia Deetz is one of my favourite characters ever (I’ve loved her since I first saw Beetlejuice). She made everything that she was in better and it’s such a loss to comedy. RIP Catherine, and thanks for making the world a brighter place xx
