Kim Cattrall
Rex Features
Name
Kim Cattrall
Age
55
Date of Birth
21 Aug 1956
Birth Place
Liverpool, England
Best-known for her role as man-eating, confident New Yorker Samantha Jones in Sex and the City, Kim Cattrall was actually born in Liverpool to Shane Cattrall, a housewife, and Dennis Cattrall, a builder.
The family emigrated to British Columbia, Canada, when Kim was less than a year old, but she returned to go to acting school when she was 11, heading back to Canada at 16.
Upon graduating high school, Kim swapped Canada for the bright light-lure of New York, and immediately secured a movie deal. Admitting that she’s ‘been playing sexually aware women most of my life’ (Porky’s, 1982, Police Academy, 1984, Mannequin, 1987) she was well-equipped to play Samantha Jones when she was cast in 1998. So much so, the role garnered her a Golden Globe for Best Supporting Actress and numerous Emmy and Golden Globe nominations. The first Sex and the City Movie proved so successful, that Kim and the rest of the cast are currently filming a second film.
Her private life has been nearly as colourful as her on-screen characters: she’s been married three times, to Larry Davis, Andre J. Lyson and Mark Levinson, whom she divorced in 2004. Kim was dating toyboy chef Alan Wyse for nearly five years, but the couple went their seperate ways in July 2009.
