Seth Rogen shared a touching tribute to late actress Catherine O’Hara while accepting her posthumous award for Best Actress in a Comedy Series. O’Hara passed away at the age of 71 years old last month.
At the Actor Awards on Sunday night, formerly the SAG Awards, Catherine O’Hara posthumously won the award for Best Actress in a Comedy Series for her work on AppleTV’s The Studio.
Seth Rogen, the creator and star of the series, was tasked with accepting the award for O’Hara, which he did so graciously.

“I know she would have been honored to receive this award from her fellow performers, who I know she respected so much — she was such big fans of all of yours,” Rogen said
“I, obviously, have been reflecting on the time I was fortunate enough to spend with her and working with her, and something that I’ve just been marveling at over the last few weeks was really her ability to be generous and kind and gracious, while never, ever minimizing her own talents and her own ability to contribute to the work that we were doing. She knew she could destroy, and she wanted to destroy every day on set.”

O’Hara’s passing — which came after a “short illness” — was reported on Friday, January 30.
One of the most iconic Canadian comedians of all-time, O’Hara famously got her start on the Canadian sketch comedy TV series SCTV alongside the likes of John Candy, Eugene Levy, Andrea Marin, Rick Moranis, Harold Ramis, Martin Short, and more.
In recent years, she had her starring roles in the Emmy Award-winning comedies Schitt’s Creek and, more recently, The Studio. She also recently appeared in Beetlejuice 2, a sequel to her hit 1988 Tim Burton film.
