It's hard to imagine "Schitt's Creek" without Moira Rose, the delightfully over-the-top character brought to life by the incomparable Catherine O'Hara. For six glorious seasons, O'Hara captivated audiences with her eccentric pronouncements and unwavering belief in her own stardom, even as her family found themselves humbled by financial ruin and forced to live in a motel in a town they could barely pronounce.

That portrayal, of course, culminated in a well-deserved Emmy win for O'Hara in 2020, a shining moment in what was already a stellar career. "Schitt's Creek" absolutely dominated the awards that year, and it was impossible to deny the impact O'Hara had on the show's success.

Recently, Dan Levy, who not only starred in but also co-created "Schitt's Creek," shared some incredibly heartfelt thoughts on working with O'Hara. His words offer a real glimpse into the bond they formed on set and beyond. "What a gift to have gotten to dance in the warm glow of Catherine O’Hara’s brilliance for all those years," Levy stated. You can practically feel the affection in his words. He went on to add, "Having spent over fifty years collaborating with my Dad, Catherine was extended family before she ever played my family."

Levy's comments really highlight the deep connection between these actors. It wasn't just a job; it was a reunion of sorts. He poignantly expressed, "It’s hard to imagine a world without her in it. I will cherish every funny memory I was fortunate enough to make with her. My heart goes out to Bo, Matthew, Luke and every member of her big, beautiful family.” That line about imagining a world without her? It really hits you, doesn't it?

The connection between O'Hara and the Levy family runs deep, stretching back decades. Eugene Levy, Dan's father, has collaborated with O'Hara on countless projects. Their journey began with the legendary Toronto-based improv troupe The Second City, a breeding ground for comedic talent. From there, they moved on to the sketch series SCTV in 1976, solidifying their comedic partnership. And who could forget their collaborations in Christopher Guest's mockumentary masterpieces like "Best In Show" and "A Mighty Wind"? Their on-screen chemistry is undeniable.

O'Hara's impact extends far beyond "Schitt's Creek." She's a comedic icon, a true original, and judging by Dan Levy's touching tribute, a beloved friend and colleague. We're certainly looking forward to seeing what she does next.
