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.

She was wonderful as Moira Rose. We should all raise a glass of fruit wine to her!

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

😂

Gosh, how embarrassing. It's clear why that poster said 'educate oneself.'

She was an absolute legend. A true comic genius and a wonderful actress. RIP Catherine. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for giving us Moira.

I want to watch SC all over again........and shall. She was utterly brilliant.

I really hope that if you click on the link it does not take you to my personal facebook page! Can anyone reassure?

My 25 year old son has come for the weekend and mentioned how good she was in Schitts, she really was much loved.
Rip.

This is one of those celeb deaths that viscerally hurts.

I so agree OP. I am currently on my 4th rewatch of Schitt’s Creek, having at first been one of many people it seems who couldn’t get into it. I’m so glad I carried on as I now see what a beautiful, profound and warm show it turned out to be. It is my comfort watch too. And Moria was sublime. I have at least one of her lines in my head most days! So very sad, and only 71.

Oh No!!

Indeed! Even though that wine is aw-ful

Thesofathatwas · 30/01/2026 21:07

There will always be a bebe’s chamber in our house thanks to Moira

Thank you @LikeWhoUsesTypewritersAnyway . That was a real kindness to me as I was stressing madly. Thanks

Awwww, I'm sorry to hear that. This year isn't going too well for me either to be honest. Won't go into it why. Also, several other people I am close to are having a shit year so far. Hopefully it will get better for us all soon. Flowers

We need to burn some sage or something. 💐

KnitFastDieWarm · 30/01/2026 21:09

Oh Moira 😪

Who knows what will befall us tomorrow, John. You could be hit by a Mack truck or bopped on the head by a tiny piece of space debris.

Shmoigel · 30/01/2026 21:12

She was an amazing actress and comedienne. Beetlejuice, Schitts creek, Nightmare before Christmas and home alone. All favourites. 71 far too young.

Bluemin · 30/01/2026 21:12

Awww this is so sad. 71 is no age. I had just introduced my teens to the wonder of Schitts Creek.

Thesofathatwas · 30/01/2026 21:13

I have Danny boy ringing around my head 😌

MoiraRoseVibes · 30/01/2026 21:19

I’m genuinely so sad. What a beautiful woman. My username has been this for a few years now ❤️

hby9628 · 30/01/2026 21:20

So sad. She was amazing. What a legend.

joanofaardvark · 30/01/2026 21:21

So sad about this. I was lucky enough to attend the Beetlejuice Beetlejuice premiere and can confirm she was truly lovely. Friendly, funny, welcoming - gave off the aura she'd been your friend for years. Weirdly down to earth for a Hollywood star too. Just lovely.

longtompot · 30/01/2026 20:45

Such sad sad news. 71 is really no age. I've not watched Schitts Creek so she will always be Kevin's mom to me. Will be even sadder watching Home Alone, for both her and John Candy no longer being with us
RIP

and John heard, who played the dad
