Kim Cattrall

Kim Cattrall, who played Samantha Jones in the original Sex and The City franchise, has made her feelings clear on the series' recent reboot, And Just Like ...

I love her quote, ‘I don’t want to be in a situation,'” a third commented. Cattrall also categorised the treatment of Samantha as “odd” in the reboot. Now, fans are praising the 65-year-old for setting clear boundaries. “It’s so finite for me, so it doesn’t continue. Well, that feels different than the Samantha that I played.” Speaking to Variety, Cattrall discussed the spin-off for the very first time.

Kim Cattrall joined forces with Darren Starr, Patricia Field and Candace Bushnell.

The actor said she was “never asked to be apart of” the sequel series but was never interested in it anyway. “HBO decided to put this franchise back into their hands for a variety of reasons, and this is what they came up with.” I would love to have Kim come on ‘Emily in Paris’ as a guest star and have her do something juicy.” We were lucky to have her for ‘Sex and the City’ but that’s one stop along the way of a lot of wonderful work she’s done.” “Not just ‘Sex and the City’ but for her entire career. Star was not involved with the series as he’s busy with Netflix’s “Emily in Paris.”

Cattrall told Setoodeh that she hasn’t watched the series at all, and gave a definite “no” on reprising her character in the future. There are other times she has said “no,” most notably when asked to reprise her iconic role as Samantha Jones in various reboots of the “Sex and the City” franchise. Cattrall was one of six honorees, along with Drew Barrymore, Venus Williams, Camila Cabello, Amanda Seyfried and Queen Latifah, at the event, which honors women for outstanding accomplishments across the entertainment industry. “If COVID has taught us anything, no matter how hard you work or how good you are, situations can come out of the blue and knock you on your butt. Cattrall also spoke about her experience losing her health insurance at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic during a time she wasn’t working. “There can be situations (shockingly) even today where a woman’s rights or opinion is not readily listened to, which makes this basic word all the more important.”

I also didn't want to compromise what the show was to me. She noted, "It's a great wisdom to know when enough is enough. "And the job didn't get easier; it got more complicated in the sense of how are you going to progress with these characters?" Cattrall further acknowledged she never felt intimately connected with costars Parker, Kristin Davis and Cynthia Nixon: "I think we were colleagues. It was professional." "Can you imagine going back to a job you did 25 years ago?"

The 'How I Met Your Father' actress spoke with ET on Thursday at Variety's 2022 Power Of Women event in NYC.

"Because, ultimately, you are the screenwriter in the movie of your own life." I'm glad you got to star in and produce your own series, Sensitive Skin, for HBO Canada, which got nominated for a lot of fabulous awards." "And Kim, I do admire your big heart," Star went on to read. And your support for The Actor's Fund -- especially during the COVID crisis -- is definitely to be applauded."

She had to sell it to some guy who’s wearing a hoodie, and that’s the dilemma she has. It’s so finite for me, so it doesn’t continue,” she said. I mean that’s a scenario that was kind of off the top of one of my reps’ heads, and I thought that’s a great idea. The way forward seemed clear.”

None of the four is involved in And Just Like That…, which was recently renewed for a second season. Cattrall noted that this organization became even more important during the pandemic, when many actors were out of work for months on end. However, neither returned for the new HBO Max series, And Just Like That…, which premiered late last year.

And just like that, Cattrall was back to palling around with Patricia Field, Darren Star, and Candace Bushnell.

They were soon joined by Candace Bushnell, the writer of the New York Observer column that the Sex and the City series was based on. In fact, she arrived to the event alongside Patricia Field, the legendary costume designer behind Carrie and co.’s wardrobes. Kim Cattrall has made it abundantly clear that she has not had the best relationship with Sarah Jessica Parker and many of the rest of those closely involved with the Sex and the City series and movies.

Kim Cattrall revealed how she learned to use 'vulnerability' as a strength in her acting career – exclusive video.

And this is exactly what I wished for: to be in different places playing different characters because I’m a character actress,” she told the outlet in a cover story published on Wednesday, May 4. Cattrall told Variety that it feels “powerful” to have played a character that’s so beloved by fans, but she has no regrets about leaving it behind. After she “recognized” the feeling, the Golden Globe winner began to listen to what it was telling her. “The word ‘no’ has difficulties sometimes traveling from the brain to the tongue. “When you follow that road, things for me got easier instead of more difficult,” she explained. “I think it’s my vulnerability, which I never thought was a strength,” the Sex and the City alum, 65, exclusively told Us Weekly at Variety‘s Power of Women event on Thursday, May 5.

"Sex and the City" star Kim Cattrall gave a speech in front of former colleagues on the power in the word "no" and says she is happy with her choices.

While Cattrall famously does not get along with former co-star Sarah Jessica Parker, she is still getting support from the rest of the “Sex and the City” family. Adding when it comes to fan criticism about her decisions, “The great thing about Twitter is you can block any of that crap so you don’t have to put up with it and I think the other part is I didn’t focus on it. Ultimately, you are the screenwriter in the movie of your own life.” In 2017, plans for a third “SATC” movie fizzled. “‘No, that’s not for me,'” she said. And the word is ‘no.'”
