Catherine O’Hara is going to be immortalized in millions of memes from the Canadian television show Schitt’s Creek and the Home Alone films. But she was at the absolute core of the comedy scene in the last half century. She was major player out of Second City in Chicago, before she moved to SCTZV. For me, she was always one of the funniest and most versatile players in Christopher Guest’s mockumentaries, films like Waiting for Guffman (lampooning and celebrating community theater), Best in Show (dog fanciers), and A Mighty Wind (folk music). What a career!
