Eugene Levy broke his silence on Schitt’s Creek costar Catherine O’Hara’s death after 50 years of friendship and working together
Eugene Levy has broken his silence over the death of his Schitt’s Creek costar and collaborator of 50 years, Catherine O’Hara.
The actor, 79, shared a statement with Us Weekly on Friday, January 30, after news of O’Hara’s death at age 71.
“Words seem inadequate to express the loss I feel today. I had the honor of knowing and working with the great Catherine O’Hara for over fifty years,” Eugene said. “From our beginnings on the Second City stage, to SCTV, to the movies we did with Chris Guest, to our six glorious years on Schitt’s Creek, I cherished our working relationship, but most of all our friendship.”
He concluded, “And I will miss her. My heart goes out to Bo, Matthew, Luke, and the entire O’Hara family.”
As well as playing husband and wife on Schitt’s Creek, Eugene and O’Hara collaborated on many projects over the decades including the Christopher Guest films Waiting for Guffman (1996), Best in Show (2000), A Mighty Wind (2003), and For Your Consideration (2006).
