This one hits hard.

If you haven't seen Schitt's Creek, it's worth a watch.

[–] alekwithak@lemmy.world 33 points 3 days ago (1 children)

This hurts like Robin Williams hurt. She was phenomenal.

[–] slothrop@lemmy.ca 7 points 3 days ago

You nailed it.

[–] Speculater@lemmy.world 9 points 3 days ago (1 children)

God I hate the character so much, the vapid materialistic ignorance and fake accent sends me over the edge every time. Great acting though!

[–] thallamabond@lemmy.world 11 points 3 days ago (2 children)

If you hate annoying accents, I'm going to throw out my favorite.

Nicholas Cage - Con Air

[–] 007ace@lemmy.ca 8 points 3 days ago

'Put the bunny back in the box' The accent is like a late nite radio broadcast. It fades in and out with no real consistency. I love it.

[–] Speculater@lemmy.world 4 points 3 days ago

That's got to be one of the best worst accents in theoretical history. I also love to hate it. I secretly like the movie though for nostalgia reasons.

I'm glad we got to see her in Beetlejuice Beetlejuice, she hadn't lost a step.

[–] baller_w@lemmy.zip 9 points 3 days ago

A real gem. Take a look at “The Studio” on Apple TV. 10/10. I’ll probably rewatch and I never do that.

Kate McCallister was a terrible mother.

But a great actress let you know it.

[–] etchinghillside@reddthat.com 7 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Your hatred for her is so seething that you created a new account for it – respect.

[–] BenderRodriguez@lemmy.world 7 points 3 days ago

I had to make an account to make sure everyone knew how awful of a mother she truly was.

[–] SatyrSack@quokk.au 6 points 3 days ago

RIP Kenneth Parcell's mom

[–] rozodru@piefed.social 21 points 3 days ago (1 children)

As a Canadian and also someone who has a Mother the same age this one hits hard. I remember watching her on reruns of SCTV here. 71, imho, is too young.

[–] sem@piefed.blahaj.zone 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Second City?

What is the name about?

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

I think it was meant to be self deprecating. Chicago was seen as number 2 behind NYC, so they owned it.

[–] lemmylump@lemmy.world 10 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Completely gutted over this loss.

[–] slothrop@lemmy.ca 7 points 3 days ago

Yep...rare feeling for a celeb death.

[–] GiantChickDicks@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 days ago

She was incredibly talented. I loved her so much in Best In Show.

Fuck today really sucks and this sinks it to a whole other low. Rest in peace 💔

[–] SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 5 points 3 days ago

uh, she was known for SCTV since 1976, not when Hollywood took notice.

[–] chromeleon@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago

Maybe my favorite O'Hara character from SCTV: The Dusty Towne Sexy Holiday Special

[–] Aganim@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

🎵 I sense there's something in the wind

That feels like tragedy's at hand 🎵

RIP 😥

Not enough sally comments :(

[–] Aganim@lemmy.world 0 points 2 days ago (1 children)

At least good to see somebody understood the reference. Thank you, person of culture!

[–] sol6_vi@lemmy.makearmy.io 2 points 2 days ago

My favorite of her roles by far and it isn't even mentioned in the articles.
