The role of Samantha in the TV series "Sex and the City" has become a long-awaited cherry on the cake for actress Kim Cattrall. Although by this time she had a great film career behind her.
When the first episodes of the series "Sex and the City" were released in 1998, its creators did not really believe in success and thought to limit themselves to a couple of seasons. But the audience's love forced the producers not only to film the continuation of the adventures of the four friends, but also to perpetuate the theme in two full-length films. Naturally, all the actresses of the series immediately became mega-popular, although the director deliberately did not take on the roles of the main characters of famous artists.
Classical school
The role of Samantha Jones went to the English actress Kim Cattrall. Despite the fact that in the film she had to play a rather windy person, in life the actress has a serious acting school behind her. Kim Cattrall was born in the UK in 1956 to a simple working-class family. But for the first 12 years of her life, Kim lived in Canada, where her parents emigrated in search of a better life. When the family returned to London, the girl went to study at the Academy of Dramatic Arts. And already at the age of 16, Kim Cattrall came to New York and entered the famous American Theater Academy. He successfully finishes it and immediately gets a contract for filming from the famous director Otto Preminger. But after the release of Rosebud, Kim is offered a contract by Universal Studios. It was a real success. Prior to the release of SVBG, Kim starred in over 20 feature films, including the Police Academy. She also has a lot of work in television series (for example, "Colombo").
But it should be noted that after the release of the series, a flurry of offers did not fall on the actress. Yes, she continues to act, but directors now see her in the role of a fatal beauty, forgetting that Kim is primarily a professional dramatic actress.
Three marriages and an open relationship
Kim's personal life has never been insipid either. She was officially married three times. Kim separated from her first husband Larry Davis two years after the wedding. Second husband Andre Lison lasted a little longer. In 2004, the actress divorced her third husband and never entered into an official marriage. After the series, Kim, like her character, was carried away by men much younger than her. Kim had an affair with chef Alan Wise, who was 23 years her junior. The couple broke up after Alan began to hint to the actress about creating a full-fledged family.
In the 2000s, Kim published two books "Dossier on Sexuality" and "Find Yourself", in which she outlined the reasons for her reluctance to have children and a traditional family.
Over the past few years, Kim has been filming very little, but actively maintains accounts on social networks. Rumors about the creation of a third film based on the TV series "Sex and the City" still do not subside, because the actress has repeatedly stated that this topic is closed to her.
