What Catherine O'Hara REALLY Thinks About Alan Alda ?
A few years ago I heard a comment Catherine O'Hara made regarding her Betsy's Wedding co-star, Alan Alda, and have always wondered exactly what it was she meant since it is one brief, thinly-veiled reference made in passing, that she never follows up on.
I post this here in hopes that someone with first-hand knowledge will be able to help clarify, since it has been driving me nuts ever since I first heard it.
The passing reference is as follows, and comes from an audio commentary track that Ms. O'Hara recorded with Andrea Martin for an episode of SCTV that was released on dvd in 2004 (SCTV - Volume 2: Episode #94, Original Air Date: December 18, 1981):
ANDREA MARTIN: You worked with Alan Alda, didn't you?
CATHERINE O'HARA: I did........And that will be as much as I say about that.
The comment came during a parody done on the show entitled, Neil Simon's Nutcracker Suite, that features Joe Flaherty's "impression" of Alan Alda.
On it's surface the comment may not mean much, but to hear the way it comes up so innocently, and the way Ms. O'Hara suddenly gets very "careful" about her word selection, before curtly making her comment and then quickly changing the subject; naturally leads one to read VOLUMES into the true meaning behind the words.
Is there anyone out there that has any actual knowledge of just what Catherine O'Hara may have meant regarding her movie experience with Alan Alda?
Inquiring minds want to know!!
