She'll Always Be Sensational Samantha
The 1990s were a relatively slow period until Darren Star selected her for the femme fatale role in his New York-based comedy, Sex and the City. By the end of the first season she was an international sensation. In addition to her work in television and films, Kim Cattrall is a respected stage and theatre actress, as well as an author on the topic of—what else—sex!
A Few Facts About Kim Cattrall
Courtesy of Wikipedia
Kim Victoria Cattrall, born 21 August 1956, Liverpool, England is a Golden-Globe award winning English-Canadian actress. She is known for role as Samantha Jones in the HBO comedy/romance series Sex and the City, and for her leading roles in the 1980s films Police Academy and Mannequin.
Cattrall began her career before graduating from high school in 1972 when she left Canada for America. There, she attended the American Academy of Dramatic Arts and upon her graduation signed a five-year movie deal with director Otto Preminger, making her film debut in Preminger's Rosebud in 1975. A year later, Universal Studios bought out that contract and Cattrall became one of the last participants of the Universal Contract Player System. During her time with Universal, she guest starred in numerous television programmes of varying style and genre. In 1979, she played Dr. Gabrielle White in The Incredible Hulk and would go down in TV Hulk lore as one of the few characters who knew David Banner was alive and was the creature. Her work in television paid off, and she quickly made the transition to cinema. She starred opposite Jack Lemmon in his Oscar-nominated movie Tribute in 1980.

Kim Says...
I've been playing sexually aware women most of my life. At this point I expected to be playing moms and wives. It's exciting to play a femme fatale.I sort of have a love affair with my work. Many of us work far too hard and we don't put enough value in the epicurean, sensual part of life.
I first wanted to be an actress after seeing a play - not a movie.
Art is an expression of who you are. Parts that I play are my sculptures.
Being a teenage girl was probably one of the more challenging times in my life.
A lot of guys my age and older were absolutely terrified of me. Younger men weren't.
I don't read reviews because if they're bad I'm devastated and if they're good I get a big head.
I don't really watch television, and I don't watch these shows that promote shows. I know what the experience was, and that's enough.
I'm a trisexual. I'll try anything once.

Practically all the relationships I know are based on a foundation of lies and mutually accepted delusion.Carrie: I'm not going to replace a man with some battery-operated device.
Miranda: You haven't met 'The Rabbit.'
Samantha: Oh come on, if you're going to get a vibrator, at least get one called
'The Horse.'
Men cheat for the same reason that dogs lick their balls... because they can.
Samantha: All married couples stop having sex eventually.
Miranda: That's not true, you've had sex with plenty of married people.
Samantha: That's how I know!"
Be damn sure before you get off the ferris wheel, because there are twenty-two perky and ruthless women waiting to get on.
Charlotte: Oh my god! Vagina weights!
Samantha: Honey, my vagina waits for no man."
