Catherine O’Hara, a well-known Canadian actress, comedian, and writer, showcased her early comedic talent during a 1978 interview with Paul Soles on CBC. In the interview, she presented a humorous skit for a fictitious product called “Milk of Amnesia.” O’Hara humorously described the product as a way to relax and forget about the day’s challenges, emphasizing the relief it provides after a tiring day.
O’Hara, who is currently nominated for Best Performance by an Actress in a Continuing Leading Comedic Role at the Canadian Screen Awards for her role as Moira Rose on “Schitt’s Creek,” was celebrated by CBC Arts with the rediscovery of this vintage footage. The video captures O’Hara’s comedic talent that has entertained audiences for decades.
