Kim Cattrall - your thoughts

We like that she out-cunted fake ass SJP.

She's probably not as innocent as her fans would believe, nor as sultry as Samantha Jones, nor as cunty as Secretariat Jessica Parker wants us to believe.

She's just a person - complex, imperfect, and doing a job for money.

R2 she's never pretended to be anything else.

I like her because she freely admitted she did the SATC movies to fund her old age and let her do more interesting projects.

She fought for better pay and encouraged Nixon and Davis to join her, as SJP earned 10 times what they did per episode and all 4 of them deserved a part of the pie. They didn't.

She played some great roles on stage such as a quadriplegic in "Whose Life Is It Anyway", Cleopatra, Alex in "Sweet Bird Of Youth", "Private Lives" and Miss Julie. I've seen her twice in London and she was great.

She did some really good work post-SATC on screen such as "Sensitive Skin", "Meet Monica Velour" and "Any Human Heart", not afraid to be unglamorous or unsympathetic.

She is open about just being an actress doing a job, not having any time for fake bullshit at her time of life and can laugh at herself.

What's not to like?

None really.

Glamorous. On Netflix.

[quote]She fought for better pay and encouraged Nixon and Davis to join her, as SJP earned 10 times what they did per episode and all 4 of them deserved a part of the pie. They didn't.

Can you imagine if Nixon had become Governor? She's not willing to fight against injustice and isn't capable of negotiating for anything.

Sensitive Skin was a great series. Shame it didn’t last longer.

R3, tks for the answer, good points. I didn’t know that about the pay, kudos tp her. I just didn’t really liked her in that podcast, maybe it was an off day.

Pest

R9 OP, DL always roots for the underdog. I am the realest person there is and will always call things like they see it. There is something mentally Ilill about her to hold such a grudge, a series which picked her from 80s obscurity into a world wide phenomenon. Lots of actresses appeared in blockbuster 80s films would have loved to have been working actresses throughout the early aughts and passing decade. I don’t think she is a bad person. She very likely was grieving; that sometimes causes mental illness.

Also notice how the chica agreed to appear in the series for nearly a million bucks. Money be curing grievances and “principles”.

Everyone has a price.

[quote] Sly, passive agressive, opportunistic.

I admire her because she said “no” to the third film, and meant it. Because she is not passive aggressive, but actively aggressive when she felt it was important. For a few years, she has had the entire media trying to push her into a reconciliation and “giving the fans what they want” and she refused without making excuses, until she negotiated a tiny cameo to be filmed under her own terms, which is a big raspberry to her former co-star. And she is probably being paid a fortune for it.

If a male star did any of this, he would be congratulated.

I also think she is a good, charismatic actress. And she seems to have enough cash to allow her to pick parts which interest her. In any case, she is not willing to work just for a paycheck.

I always liked her but never realized what an excellent actress she is until I watched Sensitive Skin. She had some great storylines in the original SATC but the second movie stripped Samantha of any dignity. Not surprised she was (almost) done with it after that.

Can't stand her.

R13, ok, yeah. The passive aggressive comment came from the podcast I mention. She was aggressive in other ways, including in respect of SJParker (who, as i mention, in my post i do not particularly like as well, in the recent new yorker profile she comes across as slightly deranged)

[quote]SJP earned 10 times what they did per episode

I couldn't continue to work with someone who was making such a disproportionately greater amount of money for essentially the same work. Yes, SJP was an Executive Producer, but how much real extra work and responsibility did she have in that role... 10 times as much?? I don't think so.

I don't blame Kim Cattrall for being pissed and moving on. Her work was essential to the show's success, and she wasn't being paid what she was worth.

I like Kim because she out cunted SJP, who I like…but is embarrassing with her over the top projection of a nice girl image.

She's a woman and I know about women and women guest stars.

R13 That’s true in a way but would a male star be so cunty towards his male lead. I don’t know maybe I have evaluated things wrong. And no I’m not a big SJP fan nor think she’s a saint.

I suspect she is a lesbian

she's been married 3 times and she can't make it last so maybe she is.

(Quote] That’s true in a way but would a male star be so cunty towards his male lead

If a man turned down a role, people would move on. If a man said he didn’t want to work with someone, people would shrug and accept it. If a man decided he wasn’t going to accept a salary much lower than a co-star, people would think that was a normal reaction.

People still expect women to be warm and fuzzy and compliant. I like the ones who don‘t play along.

[quote]I've seen her twice in London and she was great.

What did you see her in in London? Anything where she used a British accent? I know she was born there and moved away at 3 and then moved back for a short period of time and I’ve always wondered what kind of accents she can do. Is she like Gillian Anderson and can switch back and forth or does she have a strictly North American accent?

I know some people who moved to the US much older than that and quickly adopted an American accent but I also have a nephew that came from Australia at about 3 with his Australian dad who retained his Australian accent while his older brother quickly adopted an American accent. We figured the older one was getting peer pressure and felt the need to fit in more (because you’d kinda expect the younger one to adapt more easily. He didn’t and moved back to Australia at 15 to live with his mom. Lots of drama at the time but it was a long time ago and it’s all over now and everyone has a good relationship).

I respect her choices. She got herself financially set for the rest of her life, and then she got tired of being fake about SJP and the myth of Sex in the City and told the truth. She's done nothing wrong in my book. We need more like her.

Yeah, r25, that was like the answer I expected., like she is hero for reclutancly cashing out the checks.

It’s kinda weird because I first saw her in Porky’s which came out when I was 9 and she was a sex symbol and now I’m 51 and she’s still a sex symbol?? She still looks great. But that’s an unusually long run as a sex symbol.

Where is anyone saying she's a hero? She's an actress who played the game until she didn't have to play the game anymore. Or in other words she a working person who set herself up with a comfortable retirement and doesn't have to deal with bullshit any longer - unless she wants to me. That's the American dream.

R24 I saw her in The Ghost Writer, a film from 2010. She played a Brit and I was very surprised how lame her accent was.

I liked her in Mannequin and Big Trouble in Little China

I saw The Ghost Writer in theaters; pretty good, but I don’t remember her in it. I didn’t watch Sex and the City until 2020. Thought it was awful.

I didn’t have HBO and saw all of Sex and the City edited for TBS (I think) then saw the first Sex and the City movie, edited, on an airplane. I was in a hotel and saw it on HBO for real for the first time years after it ended and I saw one of Charlotte’s tits. Just one and it was the last tit I thought I’d ever see in the world because to me, she was the most wholesome character and it was a PG-13 tv show and about women who all seemed to have a drinking problem.

I can’t even imagine how much I actually missed.

Don't love, don't hate. Great as Samantha, but I'm not "taking sides" in either direction. What the fuck do I care?"

I like her. Maybe she's a total cunt, I've never met her. But I know she comes across a whole lot better than that twee, squealing, gushing 80 year old looking SJP. SJP knowingly received higher pay and acclaim than her costars on SATC - that's a cunt act in an ensemble production. Samantha was the real star of the show. The ratings for AJLT prove it.

The OP's post reads like something Andy Cohen wonkily posts after a few Cosmos.

As usual, the truth is most likely somewhere in the middle.

SJP is a doubtless a major reason for the show's success, although I find her annoying as fuck. The show probably wouldn't have taken off as it did if the first choice for Carrie, Dana Delany—an actress I love—had accepted the role.

On one hand, it was kind of a cunt move for her to make so much more than her three co-stars, but that's Hollywood—and basically any company anywhere; you're at your strongest negotiation point going in. SJP had a pretty hot career in major movies when she agreed to do SATC. Not so for Cattrall, Nixon and Davis, who were lucky to get work.

Like any company, the person who's 10 times hotter in the industry going in is always more likely to make 10 times more than the people who are lucky to get jobs when they applied.

Cattrall was a has-been. Was her character the highlight of the show? Probably. Did they accommodate her? Probably. But you can only ask for so much.

Cattrall was a weak link in Star Trek VI: The Search for More Money.

SJP turned her narration and "starring role" into a bullshit producer/pitchman role, and she basically took over the show. But what's most galling about foot-face is her eternally skin-deep pretense of innocence and modesty. She always acts so innocent, so battle-worn after a lifetime of humble acting parts and working her way up from summer stock. She's the sort of person who in 2005 gave everyone on the crew a tin full of Keurig pods, not knowing or caring that few people HAD Keurig machines back then. She really, really wants people to see her as the girl next door, but her actions in business say otherwise.

SJP is not well-liked here, to put it mildly. Kim publicly opposed her. I think it's as simple as that.

I disagree, R36 — I saw that movie in the multiplex at the time and thought she was very effective.

She never got the money she deserved, nor the respect from the writers, for SATC, considering she was an indispensable part of the show and it doesn’t work without her. And she was honest enough to say it. It’s that simple. People like honesty.

R35 SJP's movies all disappointed at the box office in the 90s. Honeymoon In Vegas, Miami Rhapsody, Ed Wood, If Lucy Fell. Even Striking Distance. First Wives Club's success had nothing to do with her. You are disingenuous to suggest she gave up some hot movie career to risk her career in filming the SATC pilot. And no she was not 10 times hotter than the others, she was just in s position to bargain hard for no.1. Herself.

Those films all did at very least 10 times better financially than any projects Kim Cattrall, Cynthia Nixon, or Kristin Davis were involved with in the same time period, R40.

Cattrall defiantly was no longer a movie star and Davis was just lucky as fuck coming from Melrose Place to SATC. But wasn’t Nixon always a successful stage actor? She had two Tony nominations and one win before the show started. She seemed like the most accomplished and successful of the whole whole cast. But Carrie Bradshaw was the narrator and lead whether people want to call it an ensemble or not. It was her show, so getting paid more doesn’t seem that unusual.

Why does my phone always auto correct definitely to defiantly? 🙄

Being a successful stage actor means next to nothing in the world of TV.

She comes off as a cunt

[quote]Being a successful stage actor means next to nothing in the world of TV.

That’s IT. I quit Broadway. Again! And I will have you killllllled!

Watch Kim's Criterion Closet movie choices & listen to her describe why she chose them.

I can appreciate why she and Sarah Jessica Parker probably have very little in common.

R42 she had success on Broadway in that she gave several hundred performances for The Real Thing (replacement), Hurly Burly, The Heidi Chronicles, Angels in America (replacement) but she got her one Tony nomination for Supporting in Indiscretions. She supported on stage and had her first starring role post-SATC.

She was respected but not a starring lady

R15= Lina Lamont

I liked her in "Meet Monica Velour". The film really missed the mark (I blame the director). Good story about 1980's porn star -decades later, living in a trailer park, trying to get by.

I've only seen her on Sex and the City. I thought her acting was sometimes too affected (but that was excusable because she was playing a basically unrealistic character), but I thought she was very good overall and I really liked her in the Samantha role.

There is a reason why SJP can't let this character go, because it's the only one that has brought her any success. People make fun of soap actors for playing the same role for 30 years, but is this really any different? And the thing is, the show would not have been successful without Cattrall's character and her absence is among the many reasons why the reboot doesn't work.

I respect people who can walk away from "a good thing" when it's no longer good enough for them.

There are too many Marie Osmonds and actors and entertainers 40 years past prime, sporting the same late 1970s hair, squeezing themselves into Spanx, trowelling on tons on makeup until they can afford the next procedure that's going to change everything.

Someone who says that was fun while it lasted but it's time for Tonto stop, to take a break, to try other things seems more a real person than those who cling like grim death to their forgotten heyday -- or even a remembered and mostly admired one. People who never change are just a long death.

*but it's time to stop

R53- That sounds like a lot of older queens in the gay world.

R55, it's no more becoming of them. It's sad to see people resign themselves to memories, to declare TV dead, music dead, art dead, as though the pinnacle of civilization were Dynasty, Golden Girls, and One Day at a Time and Little House on the Fucking Prairie (you fucking freaks)...when they're not so old or inform to have given up on the present.

R56 are you the slag who's always complaining about Golden Girls threads? If so, kindly fuck off!

Whatever one thinks about KC's career, Samantha was but only one role of many to her. SJP seems fixated on Carrie. It's as if she wants to recapture the time when she and SATC were at their height. She and her lackeys incessantly and publicly hounded KC when she understandably wanted to move on. SJP places all of her fear and anger of aging and growing irrelevancy on KC when there is no one to blame but the passage of time. SJP could have used her monetary and social capital earned through SATC to explore other paths: producing, lifestyle brand, philanthropy, etc... but she chose to hang on to Carrie for dear life. It's embarrassing.

OP, I think that she is the vilest human being to ever walk on earth, and my minions... I mean, "dear friends" Kristin Davis and Cynthia Nixon, think exactly the same because they want to keep their job.

And R58, I am NOT obsessed with Carrie. The fact that she is the only truly relevant character I have played in a 40 year career doesn't have anything to do with my desperate need to cling onto it, because the next best thing are secondary parts as a cartoonish witch in a Disney film and a desperate wannabe bimbo in The First Wives Club. I just happen to like the character because she is just as vapid, superficial and cuntish as I am in real life!

[quote]SJP knowingly received higher pay and acclaim than her costars on SATC - that's a cunt act in an ensemble production.

What? She’s the star. Come on, do us a favor.

Off the top of my head, Sarah Jessica Parker has had lead roles in the Family Stone and Hocus Pocus, both of which are considered modern classics, whether any of you old bats likes it or not. What has Kim Cattrall done that is memorable?

Sarah is the more successful actress of the two. End of story.

Kim’s need to attack and get folks riled up comes across as disordered and aggressive.

Team Sarah here

R61 first Diane is the star of Family Stone and I have never referred to it as a classic. Hocus Pocus was a star vehicle for Midler, Parker is along for the ride.

No one is suggesting Parker shouldn't have got higher salary as she was the face of SATC. But 10 times as much as the others per episode plus creative control over the show? That's nuts. Even Davis deserved more as all of them were integral to the success. Parker and the producers exploited the others, and let's not even get to the explicit material Cattrall (and Nixon to an extent) had to perform while Parker kept her bra on.

R47 which movies does she pick?

Is she one of these Pseudo intellectual types? I thought SJP would be, what with all her reading and all

OP's text is NASTY CUNTERY. Bravo OP. Hissssssss!

Loved Miss Cattrall as Lieutenant Valeris in "Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country"! I remembered her from "Mannequin", but nothing else. I remember reading an interview at the time, she and her husband/ boyfriend (?) studied Leonard Nimoy's Spock and bought a wig which they styled and shaved her natural hairline to create her character. I was impressed how dedicated and serious she was to the project when most would have regarded it as a joke. The work paid off as Valeris was a wonderful new addition. (Much better than that dead MAGAT sow.) I was so disappointed when she turned out to be one of the bad guys. Miss Cattrall has a sincerity which makes her seem very upfront and honest. You would know where you stand with her. SJP, as much as I love her in "Footloose" and "Hocus Pocus", there's something about her that's fake and trying way too hard that gives me the creeps.

Cattrall isn’t as good of an actress as she thinks she is. Is Parker a cunt? Probably. But learn to play the game for Christ's sake. The Samantha character is beloved probably more now than ever. Work a few months a year. Take a EP credit like Kristin and Cynthia. Cash out and then do the vanity projects you want. Make a deal with a studio. She makes it so fucking difficult for herself and then gets these bullshit projects that don’t go anywhere over and over. It ain’t that complicated.

She tried to do those things are was raked over the coals and called difficult and the reason why another movie wasn't made. The woman was looking for a deal that was in line with her contribution to the show. The producers decided that they couldn't meet her ask. If Kristin and Cynthia now have producer credits, they can thank Kim. She made a decision about self respect and got shit on. I guess the producers felt that in order to keep this reboot going, they had to meet Kim's ask.

R40 Striking Distance was not a flop.

Agree R68. Let's remember that Cattrall already did the cash grab with the first 2 movies. The second one gave her hilarious lines such as "Lawrence of my Labia", had her grabbing the hard-on of "Dick Spurt", have hot flashes then throw condoms at a bunch of Muslim men and have to don a burka to evade them.

The script of the third movie saw her being seated by teenage Brady and play more idiocy so SJP could earn a shot ton more money than the others

She does not want to. She doesn’t want to play that role. She has no interest in working with that cast. Having made those decisions, it puts her in a very powerful position when she is asked to do even the smallest cameo because she is happy to say no, and mean it. She seems to prefer to try new things. And she has the cash to make those choices.

Why is this so difficult for people to understand/accept?

[quote] I am the realest person there is and will always call things like they see it.

Mary.

R73 My pussy is wet.

If SATC really wanted Cattrall back they’d give her storylines worthy of her talent instead of having her stuff her face with guacamole while ogling her neighbor’s dick or rub yams on her hoo-ha in the desert. She got tired of playing a character that they’d made into a clown and who can blame her?

She seems quite warm and polite in videos about her family-deserting, bigamist grandfather

Oh please she lied and she’s a fucking hypocrite. She swore on Piers Morgan that she would never play Samantha Jones again. The suits throw a bunch of money at her and suddenly she’s available. She’s as much of a whore as the rest of them. This artistic integrity is bullshit.

You all seem to forget I was also the STAR of Square Pegs.

Mmm-hmm. Star.

Someone above mentioned Kim's Criterion Closet episode. Here's the video.

“She does not want to. She doesn’t want to play that role. She has no interest in working with that cast. Having made those decisions, it puts her in a very powerful position when she is asked to do even the smallest cameo because she is happy to say no, and mean it.

And yet that’s EXACTLY what she didn’t do. But thanks anyway, Kim!

I have to thank you, r80: asinine comments usually annoy me, but yours was SO stupid that it actually made me laugh. Have a lovely evening.

On DL in particular, I think a portion of the love comes from our collective hate of SJP.

She has said out loud on a wide platform what we all wish we could say and be taken seriously.

She is the DL everyman when it comes to SJP and a vicious slap to the face.

[quote] Why is this so difficult for people to understand/accept?

Maybe because she seems to have such a hard time sticking to her so-called principles.

Ok r79 her voice there kills me. It is the same I heard in the podcast i mentioned. Even if she (definitely) has a better taste in movies than sarah jessica parker, she sounds just as phony, in a pretentious way.

She made horrible, flop choices post sex and the city but i do admire her for trying. I do not admire her horrible dvd closet.

She and SjP are both phonies,, only in different, conflicting, ways.

This reminds me of what I thought when I recently saw the first few episodes of Sex in the City. I've grown used to seeing reruns of the later seasons and had forgotten details of the first season. Samantha's character was almost pathetic at first, e.g., when she hit on Big by joining him at his table and smoking her own cigar while he smiled but was obviously looking down on her and was not at all interested, then turned down her proposition to get together later that night. He is, however, quickly smitten with Carrie's character right off the bat, even though SJP's hair and makeup in the early seasons made her look like Dee Snyder and there was more emphasis on her being a seedy-ish sex columnist. But yeah, Samantha was beneath him, but not Carrie. And then there was the episode where Samantha was desperately hoping the guy who filmed his sexual escapades with models would film her while they were having sex, but he didn't want to. It seems that they initially wrote the Samantha character as desperate and sad, almost to the point where one might expect a Looking for Mr. Goodbar ending for her. But the character of Carrie was written as someone desired and who got to keep her dignity. (This theme lessened as the seasons moved on, but I was surprised the writing was that rough on Samantha and flattering of Carrie at first.)

R85- I thought the first season of Sex And The City was the most realistic for Samantha. That guy that picked up Charlotte- when she said no to sex he went back to the club and ended up taking Samantha home but told her she couldn't stay overnight. She was attractive enough for sex but not hot enough to sleep over. She was in her forties and though still quite attractive- she was past her prime- in the first season. In the later seasons they made Samantha's curb appeal less realistic for a woman of her age- she was having HOT sex with endless HOT guys- no one rejected her.

Good point, R86, and I do think that Kim was playing a basically unrealistic character, but i was still surprised to see that the writers had Samantha being humiliated by a few men in the first few episodes. It was a little uncomfortable to watch after having become used to the later seasons, and seemed headed more toward a cautionary tale than how the later episodes evolved into handling her character with mostly lightness and humor.

I am a Catrall fan, but am very surprised by the love for her in Sensitive Skin.

She was okay, but nowhere near as good as Joanna Lumley was in the original.

OMG WHAT IS THIS???!

I actually found Lumley and Lawson disappointing compared to Cattrall and McKeller in Sensitive Skin.

I love her if only for the fact that she’s child free…and proud of it…

Kim wrote that she never had satisfying sex until she met Mark. “That is two entire long, awful decades of bad sex,” she said during an interview with The New York Times before repeating: “Two. Entire. Decades.' Levinson added, 'There are millions of American women out there who do not have a satisfying sexual life. And we want to help them.'

In another interview with The Guardian, Kim referred to sex as “the glue” that kept her marriage to Mark together. “I think sex should be really fun, and I think it's an empowering, positive thing for a woman to do. I've had that in a relationship, and I've not had it in a relationship,” she said. “And to have it is one of the gifts of life. Of being a woman. That component for me is really part of the glue that keeps my marriage together."

What about me, R91?

I found the podcast with Kim and Isabelle Huppert.

She is a beautiful woman

I hope SJP’s PR plant got free UberEats for working so hard starting this thread

I am a fan of Catrall, but does anyone think she was better in the remake of Sensitive Skin than Joanna Lumley was in the original?

I do think that Catrall has a slightly better script and some of the supporting cast was stronger. But Lumley made the character's glumness funny, and moving. Catrall just made her more energetic.

A bit off topic perhaps 🤔

In the summer of 2000 I met a guy at the Works bar on the upper west side. Ten days later we had sex at his apartment but not until after ( at his insistence) we watched the latest episode of Sex And The City.

Isn’t that tacky.

What happened in the ep R98? Was the sex good?

I found OP's pic, on our right.

pic of young kim and isabelle for Rosebud.

I like her for listing Nashville as one of her fave movies, in that Criterion vid

Yes Nashville is brilliant. Wanda is a stinker.

The old man in photo at r101 looks very familiar

Otto Preminger.

Kind of a cunt, but in a way that is confrontational and forthright, which I sort of respect. SJP is far too precious for me to find remotely likable. Kim seems more intelligent, but probably an unpleasant person to be around.

I've never watched SATC, and have never seen her act in anything, except for random clips as Samantha. But I did see her interviewed on a talk show about 10 years ago. On the topic of aging and health maintenance, she mentioned that she always used exfoliation gloves in the shower. Something else that I was unfamiliar with. That day I went to WholeFoods and bought a pair. Ever grateful to her, I've been using exfoliation gloves regularly since then, and am a fervent believer in their beneficial effects.

Wish her the best.

Kim in her gloves

R105 Just scrolling by, I thought what does Kim Catrrall have to do with Yevgeny Prigozhin?

[quote] I found the podcast with Kim and Isabelle Huppert.

As much as I like KC, describing her as a “legendary actress”on par with Huppert (as per the podcast) is plain silly. I’d like to see KC in an Haneke movie for instance…

[Quote] Just scrolling by, I thought what does Kim Catrrall have to do with Yevgeny Prigozhin?

Kim started the war in Ukraine.

R110 - yes that occurred to me too but Kim doesn't make that claim in the podcast. One could argue that SATC gave Kim a greater populist profile than Isabelle has.

I think Kim considers herself more a theatre actress and rightly feels she didn't get the movies which would have showcased all she could do. She was a graduate of the London Academy of Drama and unfortunately as she notes, doing sex comedies to pay the rent in the 80s knocked her serious acting career off course. What I like is she's entirely mellow about it and grateful to get working for so long.

Do you like her bangs?

She looks great for 66 at R114 and still looks like herself.

[post redacted because linking to dailymail.co.uk clearly indicates that the poster is either a troll or an idiot (probably both, honestly.) Our advice is that you just ignore this poster but whatever you do, don't click on any link to this putrid rag.]

On Today.

Kim looked casually chic in a blouse and jeans as she stepped out in New York City on Sunday.

The actress, 66, wowed in a pastel blue blouse and high-waisted jeans as she strolled with partner Russell Thomas, 52.

The star paired her outfit with white leather brogues, a blue handbag and mirrored shades as she flashed a warm smile at the camera.

Her blonde locks were styled in soft waves and she sported a radiant palette of make-up.

Kim Cattrall deserves her own "Sex and the City spinoff," as her time on "Glamorous" proves.

She looks really great, and if she has had any work done on her face, it is VERY subtle.

Kim Cattrall is a piece of work.

Prior to SATC, she was best known for sniffing jock straps in the ‘80s comedy Porky and howling with pleasure. (I guess some might say Mannequin but it didn’t do anything for her career, obviously.) She was a B-list tv actress. Her big bid to re-ignite her career in features, playing Tom Hanks’ wife in Bonfire of the Vanities, was a notorious, legendary bomb of epic proportions.

I don’t disagree with her decision to not do a 3rd SATC film - in fact, we should all be grateful to her. She doesn’t have to do AJLT either. But she could show some respect to the only real success she’s EVER had - and speak with some respect to the franchise. It’s a business. Other people have livelihoods too. Her attacks on SJP were particularly vicious and unwarranted, when SJP expressed condolences when Cattrall’s brother died. You know, there is such a thing as just ignoring people. Cattrall is as guilty as anybody else of exploiting the circumstance to her own selfish benefit.

Sarah Jessica Parker has always seemed like a perfectly reasonable, perfectly likeable person who is a strong ally for the LGBT community and the arts. I’d take her over Cattrall any day.

(Quote] But she could show some respect to the only real success she’s EVER had - and speak with some respect to the franchise.

In what way has Catrall EVER disrespected SitC? She took on the role in the 90s, helped to make the character iconic, and then moved on. It’s clear that she didn’t have the best time making the show and didn’t feel attached to the cast, so she gave a very clear No when asked to continue in the role. Given her feelings, it’s a sign of respect to the fans that she even agreed to a cameo, but it’s clear that she doesn’t want to remain tied to a role she took on over 25 years ago. How many of us would feel differently and obliged to restrict ourselves in that way?

From Police Academy to the present day, her whole career shows that she is happiest as a character actress, ranging from Star Trek to SitC. She is willing to take a chance on something new, rather than work with people she doesn’t like, on scripts she doesn’t believe in, on a “franchise” which has long since run out of steam.

She is very much a method actor-always in character and falling deep into the role of Samantha.

In other words, Kim is a whore who fucked anything with a pulse and even that wasn’t really a caveat.

I really don't see Samantha and the City working any more than AJLT doesn't work without her. SATC worked because of the foursome. It's what Betty White said about The Golden Girls. There were like 4 points of a compass and once you remove one, the balance is gone.

I like Kim but I'm also not sure I want to see Samantha as a lead character.

I like her, because she talks about work in a way that is familiar to me: it's not your family - it's your job.

She'd be hauled before HR if she said this at many companies.

I have NO DOUBT that Cattrall is FULLY responsible for ALL of the shit that's gone down on SATC.

And no, I'm not SJP. It's just that both my eyes and ears are fully functional. Cattrall comes across as the fakest that has EVER faked. Period.

R127 I dunno, Cynthia Nixon seems like a joyless, pushy dyke who’d overturn the craft services table if they put out the wrong kind of tuna rolls.

That is so oddly specific. Bravo!
