she was just so talented and had this quirky style that made me laugh every time 
i mean home alone is still one of my fave movies of all time thanks to cat o'hara's iconic performance 
beetlejuice too, that character is so on point 
and her legacy will definitely be felt in comedy for years to come 
rest in peace 
she was an iconic comedian, love how she brought life to those characters in home alone and beetlejuice 
feel bad for dan levy, eugene levy, and seth rogen who must be going through tough times right now 
. It's always sad when someone leaves us too soon, but I guess 71 is just old enough for people to think they're ready for their 'home alone' moment 
it's crazy to think about how many people she's inspired with her unique brand of humor 
her legacy will live on through all the talented actors and comedians she's collaborated with over the years 
... I mean, she was a legend in comedy, but come on, 71 is still pretty young, right? 
Not like it's old or anything... her legacy will live on and all that jazz, but can we please just give her some peace now? 
RIP Cathy... 
. I mean, she was still kicking it with Dan Levy on Schitt's Creek and Seth Rogen on The Studio, so what's the deal? Shouldn't we be celebrating more lives at that age? 
Anyway, I guess we should just take a moment to appreciate her legacy – she's definitely one of the greatest comedy artists in history, no cap 
. And can we talk about how Canadian she is? Like, she's got that whole maple syrup thing going on, you know 
? Anyways, let's all just take a deep breath and remember her iconic roles in Home Alone and Beetlejuice... those movies were LIT 
.
just heard about Catherine O'Hara... she was such a legend in comedy world 
but what really saddened me is how rare it is for older talent to still be making waves like that at 71 
can't believe she's gone 
. My heart goes out to Dan Levy and Eugene Levy - they must be totally devastated
