It's the first thing that popped up on my phone when I turned data on after waking up. So not happy 🙁

My wife told me about this sad news when I got home from work. 🙁 RIP Catherine, my favorite role of hers was Delia Deetz in Beetlejuice 1 and 2.

I loved her in the Netflix adaptation of A Series of Unfortunate Events.

It still doesn’t feel real that Catherine O’Hara is gone. The news just sits heavy, and it hurts more than I expected.

She was such a rare soul — funny without trying, kind without being loud, and unforgettable in every role.

Even the mom who forgot her kid twice somehow made us love her more.

What a legacy. What a loss. 💔

I read this news this morning. It's so sad, especially having grown up watching her.

One of the greatest voices in my child hood in The Nightmare Before Christmas and one of the few on TV mothers that hit a lot of my feelings in Home Alone and Beetlejuice.

One of the most timeless classics I will remember her for.

May she rest in peace.

No! I never even see friends posts anymore because it's just a bunch of ads and "suggested for you" crap!

Sadly yeah 🙁

I don't think mine is as bad because I've almost got 5000 randoms on my friends list lol

She was in awesome roles in Beetlejuice and Home Alone, but what are some other classic roles?
