Lola Heatherton, one of Catherine O’Hara's SCTV characters, was one of the SCTV Network's featured singers.
About[]
Lola Heatherton was a singer and aspiring actress who starred in various programs on the SCTV Network. She was incredibly melodramatic, often specializing in over-the-top stage performances, but she occasionally appeared in game shows and telethons as well.
Lola had a controversial history of sexual partners and substance-abuse scandals, with Sammy Maudlin, Guy Caballero, and Bill Needle having been most aware of that fact. She was revealed to have had relations, at some point, with Guy, Bobby Bittman, Johnny LaRue, both of the McKenzie brothers, Bob and Doug, and Count Floyd/Floyd Robertson.
Heatherton and Andrea Martin's character of singer Connie Franklin were not shown to be competitors or even to have shared the same stage.

Behind the scenes[]
The character's name was a portmanteau of those of variety entertainers Lola Falana and Davenie Johanna "Joey" Heatherton.
As Andrea Martin did in character as Connie Franklin, Catherine O’Hara did her own singing in character as Lola Heatherton.
After SCTV's cancellation, O'Hara appeared in such other productions as the original Home Alone and Home Alone 2: Lost In New York, both times as the McAllister family matriarch. But as of the middle 2020s, she was not known to have obtained any opportunities to sing in character, least of all as herself.
