Catherine O’Hara on What Her ‘The Studio’ Character Really Wants and the ‘Schitt’s Creek’ Clothes She Just Couldn’t Part With
Catherine O’Hara will be seen on two shows this spring: 'The Studio' and 'The Last of Us.' But she hasn't left behind her 'Schitt's Creek' wardrobe
In improvisational showcases like “SCTV,” four Christopher Guest mockumentaries, the film megahits “Beetlejuice” and “Home Alone” and the Emmy-winning series “Schitt’s Creek,” O’Hara excels at playing “terribly flawed” characters who “have no idea” they’re anything less than perfect, she tells Variety. The Toronto native — “I am a proud Canadian” — began her career at age 20 as a cast member of The Second City improvisational troupe, which, two years later, created the sketch comedy show “SCTV,” where she worked alongside such greats as John Candy, Martin Short and her future frequent costar Eugene Levy. One of her most unforgettable characters is Moira Rose, the eccentric former soap opera star, with a wardrobe, wig collection and accent like no other, on “Schitt’s Creek.” The support, trust and encouragement she received from the show creators — and former co-stars — Eugene and Dan Levy allowed her creativity to fly.
