On Friday, Hollywood was rocked by the sudden death of “Schitt’s Creek” star Catherine O’Hara’s at 71.
Many of her co-stars, including Macaulay Culkin, Pedro Pascal and Justin Theroux, took to social media to remembered her.
Culkin, who played O’Hara’s son in the “Home Alone” movies, wrote in the form of a poem on Instagram, “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.”
In 2023, O’Hara was on hand for Culkin’s Hollywood Walk of Fame Ceremony.
On his special day, she said, “Thank you for including me, your fake mom who left you home alone not once, but twice, to share in this happy occasion. I’m so proud of you.”
Pedro, who worked with Catherine on “The Last of Us,” wrote, “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 ♥️.”
