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.

Bet you are sat at home giving yourself a big pat on the back for being so edgy and cool, when in fact you just look like an idiot who can’t do something as basic as use Google.

Any body who knows me knows how much I love home alone x she was hysterical as moira in SC quite devastated to hear it you think these actors are going to live forever and ever

I hope you will all indulge me here, I grew watching Catherine O’Hara on Second City and SCTV.

This is one of my favourite sketches with Catherine. Eugene is there too. It really saddens me that the top three people in this video, (if you click you will see what I mean), John Candy, Joe Flaherty, and Catherine, are now, no longer with us.

SC was one of those shows where you genuinely wanted them to be real people. Moira especially.And yes thats cos the writing was brilliant but also because the way she portrayed her.

I thought the same, so you know what I did? I googled, then realised of course I know her. Stop being that person who makes a disrespectful comment on a post about someone who has died. Is there any need?

Spoodles · 30/01/2026 19:22

Another who is currently rewatching schitts creek and very shocked to hear this news. She wasn't very old at all. She was a brilliant actress and so very talented. Sad

Burnout50 · 30/01/2026 19:22

Im absolutely devastated 💔
She was amazing

plentyofsunshine · 30/01/2026 19:23

A VERY competent actress. She will be sorely missed.😥

Rude- just a simple Google would have sufficed.

WinterCarlisle · 30/01/2026 19:24

@Netcurtainnelly just piss off and educate yourself.

RIP, Catherine. You were an amazing actress, thanks for making me laugh so much in Schitts Creek and for being so fabulous in Beetlejuice (among other things).

Kidsgotothatschool · 30/01/2026 19:27

Really sad tonight too, 71 feels like no age nowadays! She has brightened my days so many times and for that I am thankful!

Sidebeforeself · 30/01/2026 19:27

What would Moira have said to @Netcurtainnelly ?

” One must take every opportunity to educate oneself , including …(long pause) operating ones Google, lest one shame one’s self, their family and all who have had the misfortune to meet one”.

GingerBeverage · 30/01/2026 19:13

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

Mine too. It's a comfort film for me.

Very sad at this news.

ShortberryStrawcake · 30/01/2026 19:29

71 is no age is it? 😔
RIP Catherine and thank you for leaving us the wonderful Moira Rose ❤️

goingtotown · 30/01/2026 19:29

Kevin’s mum in Home alone, Mrs.McCallister.

OpheliaHamlet · 30/01/2026 19:29

An amazing actress. She was iconic in both Beetlejuice and Schitt’s Creek.
So classy and gorgeous, as well!

I could hear her saying that 🥰

Coffeeishot · 30/01/2026 19:31

I am really sad about this she was a great actress and Moira Rose is genuinley iconic, Rip.to a great lady.

Chocolatecoveredshitpig · 30/01/2026 19:31

Don’t forget she was absolutely sublime as the voice of Sally in Nightmare Before Christmas ❤️

Very sad at this news.
