Catherine O’Hara may be gone, but we will always have her here with us in so many of our favorite movies and TV shows — most of which are our favorites 𝘣𝘦𝘤𝘢𝘶𝘴𝘦 she’s in them.⁠ ⁠ Look back on her legacy via some of her most beloved projects, from her early days in ‘SCTV’ to the big screen and back, with a new career renaissance in ‘The Studio.’⁠ ⁠ (📸: Schitt’s Creek, Home Alone, Waiting for Guffman, Best in Show, A Mighty Wind, After Hours, Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice Beetlejuice, The Nightmare Before Christmas, SCTV, The Studio)

Rest in Peace Catherine O’Hara. #catherineohara #trump #democrats

EDIT: Grant has passed away and we trust he is on to another great role in the venue of his choice.
We'll all miss his light, his humour, and his stories!
Here are a few of Grant's stories from our Socially Distant but Staying Connected project during Covid:

Grant Cowan is in our hearts right now. So many of us have had the privilege of sharing the stage with him and Grant has been supportive of WSP since our beginning 10 years ago. He performed in our R***e “Young at Heart” and we were delighted to help him celebrate his 90th birthday last August.
We will forward all message of love and support to him and his loving partner of forever, Jamie.
From Val Boyle’s post:
Our Darling GRANT COWAN - "GRANTY" as he is lovingly known by those close to him, needs our prayers and our love right now.
He is currently in Palliative Care (5th floor) St. Joseph's Hospital, in very serious condition.
Anyone who knows GRANTY, knows he has a bigger heart than all outdoors. He has done so much for so many people
He is a force of love and kindness.
Right now, he needs some of that love and kindness redirected back to him, AND... I know he would want us to pray for the love of his life: Jamie Ferrari.
Jamie is going through hell right now. He is by Granty's side 24/7
Love and prayers, are powerful and would be welcomed. Perhaps he’d also like some cards with messages Jamie might be able to read to him. LOVE ❤️ YOU GRANTY!
