Hollywood star Catherine O’Hara shared that she rescued “a lot of” her Schitt’s Creek costumes from the LA wildfires and feels lucky that she didn’t lose her home.
The actor, 70, who plays the role of Moira Rose in the hit sitcom, said, “When I was evacuated two weeks ago, I took a lot of [my costumes] with me. Givenchy boots and this great outfit—a short dress with big, round, silver sequins from when I was babysitting [in the Housewarming episode during season 5]. I was offered a lot of wigs, but I don’t have a set-up to take good care of them, so I only brought [home] the Vivien wig, which was my soap opera character’s wig. That went with me in the evacuation.”
