Catherine O’Hara’s Wardrobe Polaroids From the Canadian Sketch Comedy Second City Television

The collection of wardrobe polaroids featuring Catherine O’Hara from 1983 captures the actress during her tenure with the Canadian sketch comedy troupe Second City Television (SCTV). These images, often used for continuity and makeup testing, showcase the wide array of eccentric characters she portrayed, including the legendary Lola Heatherton.

The 1983 set is particularly notable for featuring several “alternate” looks and makeup tests that were later circulated by various archives. Many of these photos include her frequent collaborator John Candy, documenting their work during SCTV's peak years. 

These Polaroids were primary tools for the wardrobe and makeup departments, including designers Linda Matheson and Juul Haalmeyer, to maintain consistent looks across different filming dates.
