Damn man, this is a tough one. She was still actively working, too. It'll be tough not having her in The Studio.
She's absolutely dynamite in every single thing she's in, and she'll be insanely missed.
Rest in peace, legend.

God damn it.
Schitt's Creek is a top 5 comedy series of all time, and a large part of it is due to her performance as Moira.

Exposing the sinister cartel of retailers who allow companies to pay for advertising space.
I was completely unaware too. Sally was my favorite character in Nightmare Before Christmas. Wonderful songs and the vulnerability in that character's voice just breaks your heart ...

I can't think of a celebrity death that has hit me like this one. She's easily my favorite female actor.

First time I ever saw Catherine O'Hara in anything was on the TV sketch comedy show SCTV. Her and John Candy were part of the same cast.
RIP.

Some of her best sketch comedy routines happened on SCTV:
I think she was mostly there for the first four seasons or so... the show as only on the air for like six. That's her and John Candy.

I'm going picture her getting a big hug from John Candy up in heaven!
This is on par with losing Robin Williams. She was a big part of my entertainment upbringing and was exceptional in so many roles.

Video had like 64 million views and is the most popular thing that is connected to the movie Beetlejuice. The original Beetlejuice is still one of my favorite movies of all time.

She's always been this cute, attractive woman, to me. When I saw some of her last photos, she looked underweight, like something had been attacking her from within.
I don't know how she passed and when I tried to find out, I couldn't. So, I'm merely guessing.

My guess is of course cancer.
Like Diane Keaton she was all class and kept it private.

Big RIP to her, she was great every time she appeared on a screen. I absolutely love her in Beetlejuice, it's especially funny being from New York.
