These Are Starting To Sting

 

Now wherever I turn, there is sad news from Hollywood.  They're bringing up that old gang of mine.  Movie stars I enjoyed as contemporaries.  Robert Redford.  Diane Keaton.

We're all a little closer to the end than we are to the beginning.

The latest loss is Catherine O'Hara and the sting is a little sharper.   I've enjoyed her comedic work in a variety of movies as well as the SCTV show.  Another person we will all miss.

Thinking about her career, one of the more unsung performances she gave is in the "Home Alone" franchise. Indeed, amidst all the crazy slapstick, Catherine gives the movies some heart and she effectively grounds the whole film.   

Check it out next Christmas and you will see what I mean.  

Regardless, the loss then will still hurt.

Dinner last night:  Sandwich.
