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.

Im in so much shock! She seems far too young to go.

FitAt50 · 30/01/2026 18:56

So sad, she was iconic.

Newsenmum · 30/01/2026 18:57

And I loved her in SC and have been waiting for a reunion. Heartbroken. And so sad for her family and all the cast.

No that’s so sad!!! Moira Rose is one of the best characters ever and Catherine O’Hara played her to perfection.

Been planning to watch Schitt’s Creek again for a while so I definitely will be doing so now.

RIP Catherine ❤️

A fantastic actress, and a wonderful human being.

What an icon. She will be sadly missed by many.

I can imagine a perfectly dressed Moira giving her eulogy at the funeral 🖤

Saucery · 30/01/2026 19:01

Oh gosh, how awful!

Stumbleine · 30/01/2026 19:01

RIP

I loved her in Beetlejuice and the Day-O dance scene remains a favourite of mine. Brilliant actress

TwentyFourHoursToTulsa · 30/01/2026 19:04

Such sad news. What a fantastic actress.

Auroraloves · 30/01/2026 19:05

That is sad news. I was watching the John candy documentary recently and she gave the eulogy at his funeral, it was lovely

Google exists.

It's so sad, she was a wonderful actress. Iconic as Moira rose.

Seriously? Pathetic post.

rainforestalliance · 30/01/2026 19:08

How sad :(

LoopyGremlin · 30/01/2026 19:10

Very sad. I’m going to rewatch Schitt’s Creek as she absolutely made that show.

allmycagesweremental · 30/01/2026 19:12

So sad. Have just finished watching SC for the first time funnily enough as only recently came across it. She was brilliant as Moira Rose and I spent most of the first season not realising she was the mum from Home Alone until it suddenly clicked! We love the home alone movies in this house too and religiously watch each year. She will be missed.

BlueEyedBogWitch · 30/01/2026 19:12

Gutted.

She turned in one of the best comedy performances of all time as Moira Rose.

I’m genuinely sad.

Calyx72 · 30/01/2026 19:12

Absolutely loved her as did my husband. We used to drink ‘Moira Rose’ - Tequila Rose with a shot of Hornitos Tequila in. We think Catherine would have liked it. Even my DMIL liked it.

calanaiscailleach · 30/01/2026 19:12

That’s thrown me a bit. 71 is very young really. Big fans of her in this house 😔

DoubleDoubleDown · 30/01/2026 19:13

I just saw this on the news. I loved her as Moira. It seems shocking because she's currently featuring in a ' commercial ' for Canadian food banks it must have been filmed recently and she looks great.

GingerBeverage · 30/01/2026 19:13

Best in Show is one of my top comedies. Her singing of the terrier song - classic.

Chocolatecoveredshitpig · 30/01/2026 19:13

Love love love her. So sad there won’t be a Schitt’s Creek reunion. 71 is not old at all. ☹️☹️
