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.

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

Most people will not.

We get it. You don't know who she is. You've made your point. Now please bore off.

PotatoLove · 30/01/2026 20:17

She was fantastic. Loved her in Home Alone and Beetlejuice 😕

You need to find a hobby. Is this really how you want to spend your Friday night? Confused

Gosh- quite a statement. 'Most people'. It's like- all over the news and social media.

Double down if it pleases you, but you are just looking like a bit of a numpty tbh.

AnonSugar · 30/01/2026 20:18

I loved her in Schitt’s Creek.

ChocoChocoLatte · 30/01/2026 20:18

Absolutely devastated. I loved Moira!!

ChimpOnMyShoulder · 30/01/2026 20:19

Really sad. RIP Moira 💔you were genius.

So have some sensitivity and respect for those who do.

CoolShoeshine · 30/01/2026 20:21

So sad and shocking. She seemed so vibrant in recent times that you took for granted that she would have many more active years in her.

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

Weirdly while doom scrolling on X today a short video popped up saying how Tim Burton was really unsure about using Day-O in Beetlejuice, that he didn’t think it would work & people might not know the song. And there was a clip of the marvellous Catherine O’Hara doing that now iconic dance 💔 For those who’ve not yet seen it, she is interviewed in the recent John Candy documentary. She speaks so wonderfully of the time they all spent together on the Canadian comedy circuit while trying to make it big. Rest in peace Mrs McCallister (As you’ll always be to 9 year old me) 💔

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

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

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.

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.

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.

SingedSoul · 30/01/2026 20:26

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

Georgiepud · 30/01/2026 20:27

That's sad, and no great age either.

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

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

Oh go away now. Your attention seeking is pathetic.

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.

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?
