The first topic of conversation revolves around her outfit, and she eagerly provides a fit check.

However, the mood shifts as the conversation turns to the tragic pᴀssing of Catherine O’Hara, a beloved actress and friend of Rita’s.

“Were you close with her?” the interviewer inquires gently.

Rita responds with heartfelt sincerity, “Yes, of course. She was a friend. I can say this: as great as she was as an actor, that’s how great she was as a mother, a parent, and a friend. She was just a wonderful person, and her work will live on. We will get to laugh and enjoy everything that she put out into the world.”

Her words reflect the deep admiration and love she holds for O’Hara, emphasizing that the late actress’s legacy will continue to bring joy and laughter to many.
