Catherine O’Hara, Canadian actor and 'Schitt’s Creek' star, dead at 71

This just plain sucks.  She was so amazing.  First Joe Flaherty, now her.  We're down to just Martin Short, Andrea Martin and Eugene Levy from SCTV still with us.  Good to see Andrea Martin working with Martin Short in "Only Murders in the Building".  

what about Moranis and Thomas? they're still alive

Ms. O'Hara was a national treasure, full stop.

the remaining three look fit for their ages are still sharp & & can work. We all get old & eventually die. It's the way life is. We have entertainers, singers, rock musicians & actors dying by the score. My only real concern is this... 

sigh....Culkin's tribute just broke my heart

One of my favorite skits from her:

Peter Young passed away this afternoon after a long & courageous battle with cancer. Rest In Peace. .

Didn't he work for MTN at one point? long before it became CityTV (and by long I mean back when Beave and Buckley were hosting the Kids Club block?)

I dont think so.

I have memories of him on CKY supper time news at a time when people tune in to get their local sports highlights and updates.  Friday nights was extra special as they would have the plays of the week.

 

 

This is him right? in the thumbnail?

 

and confirmation

No, Peter was a CTV guy through & through. After he left CKY he formed his own production company & freelanced. He also left broadcasting & was GM of a number of pro baseball teams in Florida, Arizona & here in Calgary.

Only one lead singer left... Just Danny Hutton... he's in his 80's & I have no idea if he still tours. Negron lived the life of a famous rock singer with all of its excesses. The money, the women, the booze & the drugs. . He became a drug addict & the other band members kicked him out. He never reconciled even though the obit says he met with Hutton in the last year. However, I read a story once where Negron despised Hutton so much blaming him for being the band member who convinced the others to kick him out. One time, he chased Hutton down the street in LA wanting to beat him up when he happened to see Hutton one day out & about. It's a wonder Negron lived as long as he did.

To me, Chuck Negron was the best of the 3 singers in Three Dog Night. Negron had the band's most powerful voice, also the best range able to hit the high & low notes easily. Some Three Dog Night fans think this was his best work as a vocalist on The Show Must Go On.

The drummer for Three Dog Night was Floyd Sneed born in Calgary in 1942. He moved to Los Angeles in 1966 wanting a career as a professional musician. He met the three vocalists Danny Hutton, Corey Wells & Chuck Negron in 1968 when they were forming Three Dog Night & became the band's drummer. Sneed left the band in 1977.
