Dan Levy, Annie Murphy, and Macaulay Culkin give moving tribute to Catherine OHara at Emmys
Each year, the Emmys pays tribute to stars who've passed away within the last year, and this year's "In Memoriam" segment was especially moving.
Presented by Macaulay Culkin, Annie Murphy, and Dan Levy, the tribute began with the Home Alone and Schitt's Creek stars honouring the late Catherine O'Hara , who died in January.
"She always showed up when I asked her to, because that was Catherine," said Culkin.
"That's what she did.
She showed up, and this is the best that we can do for her tonight.
We're showing up for her.
So she may have forgotten me... twice , but we will always remember her.
" "The greatest lesson I learned from Catherine, both professionally and personally, was to always say yes," said Levy.
"Say yes to her instincts, all of them, as radical as they may sometimes seem.
She is miles ahead of you, and you will learn to catch up.
Say yes to helping her build a TV character over the age of 60 that wears leather miniskirts and eight-inch heels and speaks in a strange, sometimes unintelligible transatlantic accent, and know that she will not scare an audience away.
Say yes to that rewrite she emails you sometimes the night before, 'Dear Dan, some thoughts.' It will always improve the story.
Say yes to the concept of a wig wall.
Say yes to her asking to wear a wig as a hat.
