Today we honor the life of Emmy-winning actress Catherine O'Hara.

Marriage advice: “People always say, ‘Communicate,’ right? ‘Tell them how you’re feeling.’ We do a lot of it with jokes. We’ll make fun of each other instead of yelling at each other. Sarcasm helps!”
-Catherine O'Hara

Catherine O'Hara has died at the age of 71. O'Hara was known for her appearances in movies including 'Beetlejuice' and 'Home Alone', as well as her Emmy-winning role as Moira Rose on the TV sitcom 'Schitt's Creek'.

Fun fact: The modern legal entity that we call a “Trust” dates back to medieval England, but the specific idea of the revocable trust (also called a “living trust”) developed in America. We can’t say “United States” because it is believed that the first revocable trust was established in 1765 for Francis Fauquier, who was the Lieutenant Governor of Virginia, and for whom Fauquier County in Virginia is named. There was no country called United States of America until September 9, 1776.

Baby Reindeer in court: Fiona Harvey has filed a $170m lawsuit against Netflix, accusing the company of defamation, intentional infliction of emotional distress, negligence, gross negligence and violations of her right of publicity.

Don’t be surprised if broadcasters soon decide that truth is too expensive and retreat back to the world of pure fiction.

As Fiona Harvey sues the streaming giant over its hit show, what does it mean for TV? Brace for plenty of fudging of the facts and a lot more carefully worded disclaimers
