Topic: RIP Catherine O'Hara

I don't have a lot to say as an opener, except that this woman was like my Hollywood mom, being that she played both Lydia Deetz and Kevin McAllister's mothers.

I mean, what a unique talent. There will never be another!

Anyway I'm not usually sentimental about celebrities really but this one hit me, feeling a bit overwhelmed and thought y'all might want to hear about it 😅✌️ thanks

@The_Nintendo_Expat
OMG!
She was Kevin's Mom from Home Alone 1 & 2.
Deep condolences for her family.

@Anti-Matter

thanks Anti 🙂 yep, one of the all time moms 👍

Tragic. I only knew a bit of her filmography, but she always managed to give some wonderfully comedic performances. Truly one of the greats. God rest.

She’s one of the best. Very sad news, been a big fan of hers since the early 90s. The work that she’s done with Christopher Guest is lesser known, but so great. This one hurts.

@Lazz yeah, I watched Waiting for Guffman a few month back, it had been years since i last watched it. Hilarious movie and she's great in it.

She also did the voice for Ludmilla from Bartok the Magnificent & Comrade Phlemenkoff in Anastasia (1997).

I know I have seen her in other things but she will be Kevin's mom from Home Alone and Home Alone 2. While its sad of her passing, hers didnt hit me too hard unlike some other celebrities.

She definitely was unique. I really liked her in that 'Really Weird Tales' anthology series back in 86'.
But in terms of nostalgia, Kevin's Mom from Home Alone is obviously where most of us recognize her best, Beetlejuice aside.

It's funny, my nostalgia goggles are partially breaking. lol I can't even go back to the original Home alone and enjoy it anymore. I'm sick of it. Maybe part 2, as long as i drop out once the bird lady shows up haha.

"he work that she’s done with Christopher Guest is lesser known, but so great."

yes! anyone reading this that hasn't seen "Best in Show" or "A Mighty Wind" is in for a treat! 👍

I appreciate your candor! I'm the same way: some hit hard, others really don't. Like you I don't sweat it when they don't, but OTOH i try not to deny my feelings even if I feel it's a bit silly given I never really knew the person. ✌️

@NeonPizza

I'm gonna check out Really Weird Tales! I love anthology shows, and I've been watching Tales From The Darkside and Monsters again lately 🍿 so I'm excited to have a new one. 👍 (thanks!)

I watched Home Alone over the holidays recently, and enjoyed it more than i thought i would! but admittedly, I hadnt seen it in a particularly long time, and parts of it seemed almost fresh 😅 I can hardly believe it myself, but its true! 😂

I followed it up with part 2 and yeah, by the time the bird lady showed up i was done lol.

PS did you ever see Amazing Tales? thats a good one. 👍

If you haven't seen the TV show Schitt's Creek, she was absolutely hysterical in the Moira's Nudes episode.
