Been busy watching something else, but when I tuned for a spot of news I found out that famed Canadian comedic actress Catherine O'Hara died earlier today at the age of 71 in her Los Angeles home. This hit me and made me a bit sad, she's now the fifth member to have died from the cast of one of my most favorite movies of all, The Nightmare Before Christmas. Hopefully she didn't die as ironically stupidly as her character Delia Deitz in Beetlejuice Beetlejuice, the Cleopatra death. Another character portrayal of hers I remember fondly is Geraldine Ferrett from the episode of Tales From the Crypt titled "Let the Punishment Fit the Crime".
And hey, she also has some Muppet credits to her long distinguished career as I found by reading her Muppet Wiki page: Judith in Where The Wild Things Are; Leader of the Lost Fraggles from Back to the Rock; and an interaction with both
and 
at the South by Southwest fim festival in either 2024 or 2025.
So here's to a terrific leading lady, we'll remember Miss O'Hara for all the great work she's provided through the years.
