“Hi! I’m Moira Rose. And if you like fruit wine as much as I do, then you’ll appreciate the craftsmanship and quality of a local vintner.” With her deranged and drunken delivery of that line, Catherine O’Hara birthed a comedy icon in season one of “Schitt’s Creek.” The Canadian series has slowly gained traction here in the States, with much thanks due to O’Hara’s wild performance as washed-up soap opera actress Moira Rose. It’s time O’Hara gained traction with Emmy voters as well.
O’Hara plays the narcissistic Moira with a sense of insanity rarely seen in mainstream comedies. Her go-for-broke performance includes a speech pattern with overly elongated vowels and an elastic face that can conjure extreme emotions without any dialogue. She is also aided by an absurd collection of asymmetrical wigs and a black-and-white wardrobe that looks pieced together by delusional “Project Runway” rejects.
