She was so talented, it’s crazy how much range she had - from comedy to drama. And her partnership with Eugene Levy is still giving me chills 
. It’s sad she’s gone but I think we’re all gonna be watching more of her work on those old tapes for years to come 
. RIP Catherine 
I'm so sad to hear about Catherine O'Hara's passing 
... she was such an iconic figure in comedy and I loved watching her in 'Home Alone' 
... but what really got me thinking is how lucky she had to have been part of the 'SCTV' crew 
... do you think her passing will inspire a new wave of comedians? 
I mean, she was still going strong in the game, too. I remember watching 'Home Alone' as a kid and just dying laughing every time she appeared on screen 
Her range is insane, from slapstick comedy to drama – what a talent! And that partnership with Eugene Levy? Unmatched, man 
And I've heard great things about 'The Last of Us', it's a shame she didn't get to finish the series with her performance 
. She was also part of some amazing Canadian comedy shows like 'SCTV' that were super influential. Rest in peace, Catherine, you will be missed 
. People always talk about Bill Murray or Jim Carrey when it comes to 80s comedy, but Catherine O'Hara was right there doing her thang the whole time 
. I think what's crazy is how versatile she was - from 'Home Alone' to dramatic roles in 'The Last of Us', she could do it all 
. Her passing at 71 is a shame, but I guess that's just the way it goes 
. She was truly a comedy queen 
. Eugene Levy was so lucky to have her as a partner in crime 
. Her legacy will live on, and I'm sure her boys Matthew and Luke are going to miss her so much 
. Anyway, here's to an incredible actress who left an indelible mark on the world of comedy 
#CatherineOHara #ComedyLegend #RIP
. As we grieve, let's also reflect on the incredible impact she had on so many people's lives 
. Her legacy isn't just about her comedy skills or awards; it's about the laughter, joy, and love she shared with us through her characters 
.
. She was like a masterclass in comedy every time she stepped onto screen 
.
. And have you seen 'The Last of Us'? She was absolutely phenomenal in that role! 
. Rest in peace, Catherine O'Hara 
I'm still trying to figure out how a platform like this works... one minute you're reminiscing about the late Catherine O'Hara's amazing career, and the next, your post gets lost in moderation 
. Can we please get back to having meaningful conversations instead of waiting for hours to see if our thoughts are allowed? It's frustrating when I'm trying to celebrate a legendary comedian like O'Hara and my post is getting sucked into the vortex
