Kim Cattrall

From 2014 to 2016, Cattrall starred on and served as executive producer of HBO Canada's Sensitive Skin, for which she received a nomination for the 2016 Canadian Screen Award for Best Actress in a Comedy Series.

She attended the American Academy of Dramatic Arts in New York, and upon her graduation signed a five-year film deal with director Otto Preminger.

One of her best-known film roles is that of Lieutenant Valeris in Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country; Cattrall assisted in developing the character by designing her own hairstyle and even helped come up with the name.

Aside from her film work, Cattrall is also a stage actress, with performances in Arthur Miller's A View from the Bridge and Anton Chekhov's Three Sisters and Wild Honey to her credit.

She also won two ensemble Screen Actors Guild Awards, shared with her co-stars Sarah Jessica Parker, Kristin Davis and Cynthia Nixon, although she never got along with them.

[15] In 2006, a commercial for Nissan cars, which featured Cattrall as Samantha Jones, was withdrawn from New Zealand television, apparently because of complaints about its innuendo.

On ITV, she starred alongside David Haig, Daniel Radcliffe and Carey Mulligan in My Boy Jack, the story of author Rudyard Kipling's search for his son lost in the First World War.

[18] Cattrall acted opposite Matthew Macfadyen in a 2010 revival of Noël Coward's play Private Lives at the Vaudeville Theatre on London's West End, for which she received a Whats on Stage nomination for Best Actress.

[19]" In the same year, Cattrall starred as Gloria Scabius (alongside Macfadyen once again) in Channel 4 adaptation of William Boyd's novel Any Human Heart.

[22] In 2011, Cattrall reprised her role as Amanda in a production of Private Lives opposite Canadian actor Paul Gross in Toronto and on Broadway.

In 2013, Cattrall starred in the Old Vic's production of Tennessee Williams's Sweet Bird of Youth, directed by Olivier Award-winner Marianne Elliott.

[28] Cattrall was originally cast in the title role of Linda in a 2015 play by Penelope Skinner, to be directed by Michael Longhurst and produced at London's Royal Court Theatre.

The therapy was successful; it included developing certain evening rituals, removing electronic devices from her bedroom, and limiting the use of the bed to two activities, one of which would be sleeping.

[32] Cattrall later returned that year to guest edit the BBC's Woman's Hour to discuss "Choosing to Be Child Free" and "Being a Parent Without Giving Birth"[33] which raised controversial response and opinions.

Cattrall took part in the BBC Arts' I'm with the Banned,[35] the flagship event in Belarus Free Theatre's (BFT) tenth-anniversary celebrations.

Radical underground company BFT brought together a unique line-up of musicians and performers to stand up for artistic freedom of expression and against injustice.

In 2020, Cattrall starred on the Fox drama Filthy Rich,[40] where she played Margaret Monreaux, the matriarch of a Southern family which has become mega-rich and famous for creating a wildly successful Christian television network.

Catrall previously expressed that she did not want to return for the third film due to disagreeing with its planned storylines, involving killing off Mr. Big, and Samantha receiving nude pictures from Miranda's 14-year-old son, Brady.

In 2022, Sarah Jessica Parker spoke on The Hollywood Reporter's Award Chatter podcast about why Cattrall wasn't asked to be a part of the revival.

She joined Robert De Niro in the comedy film About My Father (2023) inspired by the life of stand-up comedian Sebastian Maniscalco, who also stars.

"[15] On 21 December 1988, Cattrall narrowly escaped death when she was booked on the Pan Am Flight 103 but, a day prior, re-arranged to fly later that evening, in order to do shopping in Harrods.

She discovered that her grandfather George Baugh disappeared in 1938, having abandoned his family (including Cattrall's then 8-year-old mother and her two younger sisters) and turned out to have bigamously married his new wife the following year in Tudhoe; he subsequently had another four children.

[53][54][55] Her third marriage, from 1998 to 2004, was to American audio equipment designer Mark Levinson; the couple co-wrote the book Satisfaction: The Art of the Female Orgasm (2002).

[56] Cattrall briefly dated former Canadian Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau (and in 2016 was misidentified on 60 Minutes, from a 1981 photo, as Margaret, the mother of his sons Justin, Alexander, and Michel).
