The one and only Catherine O'Hara passed away this Friday, and already Hollywood and the world are mourning.
O'Hara, who starred in Schitt's Creek and The Studio, as well as movies like Best in Show, Home Alone, Beetlejuice, and A Mighty Wind, passed away at the age of 71. Now, her former guest stars, friends, fellow Canadians, and fans are paying tribute.
Pose showrunner Steven Canals shared his experience with O'Hara.
"During my 1st awards season with Pose, I found myself in a lot of rooms with people I never imagined meeting. Telling Catherine O’Hara what an amazing actress she is will always be a highlight of that experience. Forever grateful for the gifts she shared. May she rest peacefully," he wrote.
Macaulay Culkin, who played O'Hara's son in Home Alone, paid tribute, saying, "Mama. I thought we had time. I wanted more. I wanted to sit in a chair next to you. I heard you. But I had so much to say. I love you. I'll see you later."
"Oh, genius to be near you. Eternally grateful. There is less light in my world, this lucky world that had you, will keep you, always. Always," wrote Pedro Pascal.
Pascal starred with O'Hara in the second season of The Last of Us. She played a therapist in the settlement where Joel and Ellie lived.
"Really don’t know what to say," The Studio creator and star Seth Rogen wrote. "I told O’Hara when I first met her I thought she was the funniest person I’d ever had the pleasure of watching on screen. Home Alone was the movie that made me want to make movies. Getting to work with her was a true honour. She was hysterical, kind, intuitive, generous… she made me want to make our show good enough to be worthy of her presence in it. This is just devastating. We’re all lucky we got to live in a world with her in it."
O'Hara's Beetlejuice costar said, "We go back before the first Beetlejuice. She’s been my pretend wife, my pretend nemesis and my real life, true friend. This one hurts. Ma,n am I gonna miss her."
Michael McKean starred in movies like Best in Show, A Mighty Wind, and For Your Consideration with O'Hara. "Only one Catherine O'Hara, and now none," he wrote. "Heartbreaking."
Ike Barinholtz, who starred with O'Hara in The Studio, wrote, "I never in a million years thought I would get to work with Catherine O'Hara, let alone become friends with her.... So incredibly grateful I got to spend the time I did with her. Thank you Catherine I love you."
Out wrestler Anthony Bowens wrote, "RIP Catherine O'Hara. You are an absolute legend."
