Bio
Many people associate Kim Cattrall with her too hot character Samantha Jones from “Sex and the City”. The actress likes her screen work, but at the same time she knows, that she got tired from Sam, who could capture the heart of any man, including the one much younger than her. She has a string of other interesting roles in the movies, TV series and theater plays. That was her childhood dream – to become a professional actress, and it came true.
The town she was born in is Mossley Hill, Liverpool, England. Although her parents moved to Canada soon after her birth, she still feels a strong connection with that locality. In her teens, she came back to London with a strong decision to study acting there. The future television star studied at the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art. Later she changed London for New York, where she continued to train her acting skills in the American Academy of Dramatic Arts.
Immediately after graduation from the academy Kim signed the deal with a film director Otto Preminger and appears in his film “Rosebud”. Her bright debut was noticed by the producers from Universal Studios, who invited the actress to the episode of their crime TV series “Columbo”. After that, she acted in a Canadian eco-thriller “Deadly Harvest”.
The actress Kim Cattrall had never refused to play the supportive roles that’s why her film list was becoming more extensive all the time. She appeared in two-three new projects every year.
In one of her interviews, Mrs. Cattrall confessed, that she was ready to leave the movie industry in the late 1990s. At that time the actress turned 40, and she thought that she wouldn’t get an interesting professional offer at that age. But she changed her mind when she was cast to Michael Patrick King’s new project “Sex and the City”, which changed her life.
Now Kim Cattrall remains a busy actress. Recently she had appeared on the thriller series “Tell Me a Story”. In 2020 the fans will see her as the lead actress of the series “Filthy Rich”.
