I can't even begin to process the news. My mind is absolutely reeling right now. I just...I can't.

My mouth literally hung open for 2 minutes when I saw the news! 😥😥 it seems like we just saw her in “Beetlejuice 2” and she had just reunited with Macaulay for his Hollywood walk of fame ceremony.

It’s cliche to say somebody was my childhood but that’s exactly who Catherine was to me. I have random Delia quotes pop into my head sometimes as well as “KEVIN”!!! Too! Such a gut punch but at the same time she’s reunited with her dear friend John Candy too! 😢

The way this was written seems prepared, so I'm guessing a quiet cancer? I hate speculating. But gosh, so unexpected.

Lots of obituaries are created and updated well in advance for famous people so as to be ready to go, so I wouldn't read too much into it from that angle. We'll have to wait and see if there is more info.

I am shocked and saddened by the news.

One of Canada's all time greatest treasures. Even as a kid watching her in Home Alone and Beetlejuice, it was easy to realize how wonderful she was. How amazing that she got a beautiful second wind with Schitt's Creek and her rightful praise and accolades that accompanied her afterwards. They'll never be another like her. I thought about her frequently in fondness, and now I'll remember her forever. Thank you Catherine O'Hara for gracing us with your expert talent as an actress and comedienne. I already know when I watch TCM Remembers 2026, the sight of her will hit me like a ton of bricks all over again.

Catherine O'Hara was another of those ubiquitous lifeforces you just took for granted. I thought she'd never die. Certainly not now.

She was brilliant in everything she did. I am so sorry to hear this news. She was a blessing and Canada was so proud of her.

I was heartbroken to hear about Catherine. I first saw her in Home Alone, but I first truly noticed her when I saw her in Nick at Nite's SCTV reruns. I adored her work and that has never stopped. She was one of the finest sketch comediennes in history - her work was razor-sharp yet had a heart. She played so many characters, did so many impressions, made them real, but never got lost in them.

I was very happy for her when Schitt's Creek blew up, and she got some of the recognition she should have had all along. That cast was incredible, but she stood out even among such names.

I can't believe she's gone.

Catherine and Phil Hartman - another legend:

Proud Canadians / World Series - Saturday Night Live

My favorite sketch she did on SNL:

After the Halloween Party - Saturday Night Live

An SNL short she did with the goddess Laurie Metcalf:

Laurie Has a Story - Saturday Night Live

My favorite sketch she did on SCTV:

SCTV Tammy Faye Baker Skit with Catherine O'Hara
