DH and I will be watching Best In Show in the next couple of days. One of the funniest movies I've ever seen. Love it and everyone in the stellar cast.

She is sublime and sublimely funny in that. Such an all round joy of a movie.

Best tribute.

An ode to Catherine O’Hara: 9 comforting recipes to fold in the cheese

Few moments in television history have captured culinary confusion quite like Catherine O’Hara’s Moira Rose demanding that her son simply “fold in the cheese”. Vague. Imperious. Completely unhelpful. And somehow, utterly perfect.

For those of you who aren’t local, the people who now own the Rose Apothecary building are going to plant a memorial garden for Catherine in spring. It’s in Goodwood, Ontario. It’s called Goodwood Mercantile and you can follow them on Facebook.

One of my dad's favorites was A Mighty Wind. He thought the kiss at the end of the rainbow was very poignant and sweet in spite of how silly the whole show was overall. Wonderful movie. Doubt I could watch that scene without crying now.

If you haven't seen it look up Kiss at the End of the Rainbow, a Mighty Wind on youtube.

Thanks to the algorhythm, after watching a couple of Catharine O'Hara clips on youtube, my feed is flooded with them. Not complaining one bit!

Hubs and I say this to each other all the time! We loved her as Moira.

I'm not sure if this is considered "celebrity" but her daughter is high profile. Any missing senior citizen should be high profile because they are so vulnerable to physical, financial and emotional abuse. This is really scary.... please just let her walk away.

After seeing her picture from September, cancer is not a surprise.

My thought exactly. I know that look, sadly, from seeing family members suffer from cancer.

I watched the movie For Your Consideration a few days ago. She really was good in whatever character she played, so entertaining.
