The clip has racked up millions of views and despite this being one of the most famous scenes from Home Alone, which is one of the most popular Christmas films EVER, a lot of fans did not realise that the star is the same actress who plays Moira in Schitt’s Creek.
Catherine has been called a ‘treasure’ on social media for the iconic clip where she looks directly into the camera and screams "KEVIN."
Fans where thrilled when they realised the star from the popular series has actually been on their screen's for 30 years...
Earlier this year, the actress picked up an Emmy for her starring role as Moria Rose in Schitts Creek. Catherine has also starred in a number of huge films such as Beetlejuice, The Nightmare Before Christmas, A Mighty Wind and Best in Show.
