Ah man. RIP ❤

 

[Werewolf Jones]

RIP Queen. Was always crazy when she popped up something. I remember watching Six Feet Under and she was in that for a little while.

 

[FoxMcChief]

My wife told me the news. She was mom in some of my favorites, then a wife in others, then back to a different mother role from Shits Creek.

I can't think of a single time she hasn't put a smile on my face or made me laugh. She's truly one of the best to ever be called a comedian or actor.

I absolutely hate this news.

fuck right off.

RIP <3

 

[Bojji]

Fuck...

RIP.

Kevin McCallister being an orphan hurts to think about. We're all getting old.

 

[Fbh]

Damn, RIP.
71 is still relatively young these days.

 

[AJUMP23]

Man she was in some great stuff.

I hope her family finds peace in their mourning.

 

[DragoonKain]

I adore her, she was recently in TLOU season 2 and was one of the few good things about it. RIP.

 

[BillMaxwell]

She had a recurring role as an over the top Hollywood type on Six Feet Under. She was Lisa's boss. She was so funny.

RIP.

RIP legend

God fucking damn it.

Wonderful actress, effortlessly funny, and also a terrific (and underrated) director. Also fancied the absolute arse off her.

RIP

 

[DarkShadowXI]

Oh man, just horrible news. My wife is going to be crushed.

RIP Kate McCallister

RIP

 

[Muskrat_Farms]

Fuck this one stings. She was always popping up in various stages of my life with Home Alone, Waiting for Guffman/Best in Show/A Mighty Wind, and Schitts Creek. Such a talent.

 

[Nocty]

She was fine in her day man. I fucking woulda.

 

[FoxMcChief]

Come Christmas time, I'll be reminded that she's gone when my family and I watch Home Alone 1 and 2 like 50 times.

 

[Miyazaki’s Slave]

OUCH!

I knows she is an actress and they are always "done up" but she seemed so young. Probably her comedy made her feel that way to me, she is fantastic and has left behind a tremendous body of work.

RIP

 

[Trilobit]

71, that's really young. She was part of my childhood as I don't know how many times I rewatched Home Alone.

RIP

 

[Space Runaway]

Damn, always liked her.

RIP

 

[Grildon Tundy]

RIP, she was essential in some movies my family enjoyed together when I was growing up. Especially Home Alone and Best in Show/Christopher Guest movies. She was great.

 

[The Cockatrice]

RIP :\

 

[Chuck Berry]

Was introduced to her through Beetlejuice when I was a kid, followed by Home Alone. Always liked her.

It's a stinger for sure.

Rest in peace.

 

[jufonuk]

RIP loved her in home alone and beatlejuice.

71 too young als the age of my mum.

 

[Casisalive]

"a brief illness" what does that even mean.

She was 71, time sure does fly.

 

[DeepEnigma]

Oh man,

RIP

 

[FoxMcChief]

Are you fucking kidding me! She voiced Sally! My god. The news keeps hitting harder.

 

[Oberstein]

RIP.



She was so proud of Macaulay Culkin. In this sequence, she's almost as touched as his mother.

 

[Tajaz2426]

Damn it, all my childhood movie actors are passing away. Great darn actress right there and gave me great entertainment.

Thank you

 

[Jaybe]

So sad. She was so phenomenal in Schitt's Creek.

 

[OLED_Gamer]

Lost a good fellow canadian today. Loved how out-spoken she was.

My household watches Home Alone monthly- kids will be sad that Kevin's mom died.

 

[Jaybe]

NOOO not Moira ((((

There's apparently a farewell episode they recorded that was behind the scenes as it was ending, so I'm going to watch that this weekend.

[sono]

RIP

She was a rare talent.

I also read she was born with a rare congenital condition called dextrocardia with situs inversus, where the heart and other major organs are in a mirror-image position from their normal placement!

 

[MastAndo]

Damn, this is a tough one. RIP legend.
