Minority Mindset

Catherine O’Hara, despite a long and successful career, remains remarkably down-to-earth – she even complimented my hair right away! It turns out she’s quite skilled at styling hair, having practiced on herself and her Second City and SCTV castmates back in the 1970s to create diverse characters. This talent has served her well in a variety of roles, including films with Christopher Guest and Eugene Levy like Waiting for Guffman, Best in Show, A Mighty Wind, and For Your Consideration, as well as classics like Beetlejuice and Home Alone. More recently, she’s known for her role as the eccentric, accented Moira Rose in Schitt’s Creek. “Some actors prefer to play similar characters, but I love variety,” she explains. “I want to explore different roles and not be limited – I’m still figuring out who I am!”

The fourth season of Bridgerton starts in a surprising way – by focusing on the servants who keep the Bridgerton household running, rather than the family themselves. Previously, these characters were mostly in the background, but now they take center stage. We see them performing all the tasks necessary to maintain the Bridgertons’ comfortable lifestyle, from preparing meals and tending fires to answering every call for service. The show deliberately highlights the sheer amount of work and effort involved, creating a noticeable impact. This season shifts the focus from the show’s usual themes to explore issues of class, a topic Bridgerton hasn’t always handled well, and it rises to the challenge with grace and skill.

Catherine O’Hara began her career at the Second City theater in Toronto and was an original cast member of SCTV in 1976, alongside stars like John Candy and Eugene Levy. She won Emmy Awards for her work on both SCTV and Schitt’s Creek, and recently received a nomination for her role on The Studio, where she played a former studio head and mentor. She met her husband, Bo Welch, an award-winning production designer known for his work with Tim Burton, while filming Beetlejuice, and they married in 1992.

Based on the classic books by Laura Ingalls Wilder, Little House on the Prairie tells the real-life story of Wilder’s childhood on the Minnesota prairies in the 1800s. It’s one of several historical Western shows Netflix has released since early 2025, joining titles like American Primeval and The Abandons.

Despite not always getting the recognition it deserves, Discworld is considered one of the best games from the 1990s. It’s a remarkably well-made game that perfectly captures its vision and delivers a fantastic experience. As a spin-off based on a richly imagined world, Discworld was enjoyable for both longtime fans of the books and those new to the series.
