Ever since Schitt’s Creek wrapped, Catherine O’Hara has been dying to reunite with the cast who made her weep with laughter every day. And now that the quirky TV comedy has rocketed in popularity worldwide – thanks to endless lockdowns and a clean sweep at last year’s Emmy Awards – the actress has let slip she has dreams for a big-screen revival.
“We should do a movie. That would be nice. Fingers crossed!” laughs the 67-year old, whose portrayal of vainglorious Moira Rose has also landed her two SAG awards and a Golden Globe.
She’s hardly been a household name, but Catherine has made a living in Hollywood since the ’80s, starring in films like Beetlejuice and Home Alone – but it’s not surprising her forté is comedy.
Born in Toronto, the second youngest of seven siblings, her Irish Catholic parents passed on the funny bone to their entire brood. “Being funny was highly encouraged in our family,” she tells.
Her mother would “tell stories of people she met that day and imitate the people, and my dad would tell straight-out jokes that he heard from the office. It was two very different styles of comedy, but both I’ve been tapping ever since.
“They laughed, God bless them, to the very end of their lives. They’d laugh at things that would just break others. And also, when they were younger, it was the sexy thing about them, watching them make each other laugh.”
