10. Catherine O’Hara Met Her Future Husband On Set
Catherine O’Hara plays the role of Lydia’s posh step mother, Delia Deetz, who is obsessed with making the house a creative sanctuary for the modern art she creates. It is quite an iconic role from her, with her leading the dinner scene in the film, which has stuck in many viewers minds as one of the best parts of the film.
Bo Welch was a production designer for Tim Burton on a couple of his films, including Edward Scissorhands, Beetlejuice, and Batman Returns. Towards the end of filming, Burton told Welch to just ask out O’Hara.
According to Welch, “It didn’t even occur to me that I was even supposed to talk to the actors. But since Tim told me to I did and then we dated and we’re married and here we are today.”
