The world is mourning Catherine O’Hara after the comedy legend died on Jan. 30 at the age of 71, and the cast of Schitt’s Creek is among them. Following her death, O’Hara’s former co-stars on the Emmy-winning series are paying tribute, including her frequent collaborator Eugene Levy and his son, series creator Dan Levy.
In 2015, O’Hara reunited with Levy for the sitcom, where she played former soap star and family matriarch Moira Rose. The sitcom followed the once-wealthy Rose family as they lost their fortune and were forced to move into a motel in the one asset they still owned, the small town of Schitt’s Creek, which Levy’s Johnny purchased for his son David, also played by Dan, as a prank.
Schitt’s Creek’s audience started small but surged in popularity after episodes began streaming on Netflix, and went on to last an impressive six seasons. Moira Rose, especially, grew a cult following with her soap opera dramatics, bewildering wig collection, and unique vocabulary that became a language among fans (and even the Merriam-Webster Dictionary).
