Catherine OHara is horrible!

I think that she is supposed to have a bad fake accent. Didn't the character she plays come from very modest means, and she is putting on a pretense of "aristocracy".

You haven't met many New York "ahc-ting" teachers, have you? Sadly, it's all very realistic. The voice, the pretension, the bizarre black and white wardrobe, the irritating habit of over enunciating ev-arhy sin-gal syllah-ble. That's one caricature that's actually very true to life.

I think Catherine is nailing the role, and the writers do a great job of keeping her just terrible enough to still keep her on this side of likeable. That said, whenever I see complaints about the show, it's always about Catherine. I think unless you've actually met someone like Moira, it's hard to believe someone like that could exist outside of a cartoon.

Couldnt agree more, she's terrible. And that hair? WTF!

I just can't stand her character in this period. All the other cast is great (especially Stevie), but I just hate having her in a scene for more than 30 seconds.

Because she is playing the part of a horrible former actress who thinks she is great.

What?! She is fabulous in every way!

So far in the whole run of the show I think the only time you ever hear Moira's real voice is when she has the conversation with Jocelyn about being from a small town at the Hawaiian party. Otherwise her wall is up so she speaks like some ridiculous Hollywood type.

I love her! No one else could play her character.
