I had the honor of knowing and working with the great Catherine O\u2019Hara for over 50 years. From our beginnings on the Second City stage, to SCTV, to the movies we did with Chris Guest, to our six glorious years on\u00a0Schitt\u2019s Creek,\u00a0<\/em>I cherished our working relationship but most of all our friendship. And I will miss her. My heart goes out to Bo, Matthew, Luke and the entire O\u2019Hara family.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tCulkin, who played her son in the\u00a0Home Alone<\/em>\u00a0films, shared a touching post, \u201cMama. I thought we had time. I wanted more. I wanted to sit in a chair next to you.
