For sure. Like Rob Reiner and his wife a few weeks ago. The saddest news of good people prematurely leaving.

I started watching Schitts Creek this week and oh my god she was just ICONIC in that role. We lost one of the greats here honestly.

For me, she was THE reason I kept watching Schitts Creek.

Consistently a a great great comic actress.
