Line(s) of the Day #RIPCatherineOHara

What a very sad loss. The beloved star of films and TV shows such as Home Alone and its sequel, Beetlejuice, Schitt’s Creek, The Nightmare Before Christmas, The Studio and Six Feet Under. Thank you for the wonderful performances you leave behind Catherine O’Hara.

Mama. I thought we had time. I wanted more. I wanted to sit in a chair next to you. I heard you. But I had so much more to say. I love you. I’ll see you later.” Macaulay Culkin

We go back before the first Beetlejuice. She’s been my pretend wife, my pretend nemesis and my real life, true friend. This one hurts. Man am I gonna miss her.” Michael Keaton

Really don’t know what to say… I told O’Hara when I first met her I thought she was the funniest person I’d ever had the pleasure of watching on screen. Home Alone was the movie that made me want to make movies. Getting to work with her was a true honour. She was hysterical, kind, intuitive, generous… she made me want to make our show good enough to be worthy of her presence in it. This is just devastating. We’re all lucky we got to live in a world with her in it.Seth Rogen

Oh, genius to be near you. Eternally grateful. There is less light in my world, this lucky world that had you, will keep you, always. Always.” Pedro Pascal

“Catherine O’Hara brought love and light to our world, through whipsmart compassion for the collection of eccentrics she portrayed…such a loss for her family and friends, and the audience she graced as friends.” Meryl Streep

This is shattering news. What a wonderful person, artist and collaborator. I was lucky enough to direct, produce and act in projects with her and she was simply growing more brilliant with each year. My heart goes out to Bo & family.” Ron Howard

Line(s) of the Day #HomeAlone

home-alone-buzz-and-meganMegan McCallister: You’re not at all worried that something might happen to Kevin?
Buzz McCallister: No, for three reasons: A, I’m not that lucky. Two, we use smoke detectors and D, we live on the most boring street in the whole United States of America, where nothing even remotely dangerous will ever happen. Period.

Hillary Wolf and Devin Ratray in festive favourite Home Alone (1990). Written by John Hughes, best known for his 80s coming of age comedy dramas, the story tells of a boy left alone by mistake over Christmas and needing to protect his home from two burglars.
