Catherine O'Hara (1954 - 2026) [This post just requires tags.]

     It is with sadness I woke up today, only to learn of our having lost Catherine O'Hara, one of my favorite comediennes since I first learned of SCTV back in 1979. 

     She will join the ranks of her fellow Second City and SCTV alumni who have gone on ahead of her: John Belushi, Gilda Radner, John Candy, Harold Ramis, Tony Rosato, Robin Duke, and Joe Flaherty

 


     Here's what I posted on my Facebook today:

    "Just learned the sad news of comedienne Catherine O'Hara's passing, here seen in the foreground, downstage of fellow actress Andrea Martin, in one of my favorite SCTV skits, the infamous parody of Ingmar Bergman, titled 'Whispers of the Wolf'
 
😞
 
Post script: Today, I no longer laugh..."
 

     Later in the day, I able to locate the aforementioned skit on YouTube. Hopefully, copyright won't impede its upload to this post. Otherwise I might have to see if I can re-upload it to my YouTube account and link to it there. Here goes.
