In a 1978 interview on CBC with Paul Soles, Catherine O’Hara, the esteemed Canadian actress, comedian, and writer, showcased her early comedic talent by presenting a humorous skit for a fictional product called “Milk of Amnesia.”
Reflecting on a tiring day, O’Hara humorously expressed the desire to unwind and forget about daily challenges with the help of “Philips Milk of Amnesia.” She humorously described pouring herself a glass of the product to let go of the day’s worries.
Celebrating O’Hara’s talent, she has been nominated for the 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.” CBC Arts unearthed this archival clip as a tribute to O’Hara’s ability to bring laughter to audiences.
