Kim Cattrall
- Profession: Actress
- Place/Date of Birth: Widnes, Cheshire, 21 August 2020
"Liverpool is a very special place to me because I was born on Merseyside, even though my parents emigrated to Vancouver not long afterwards. I visit my Lancastrian relatives quite often. But it’s strange because when I’m in America I feel very British and when I’m in Britain I feel very American." Kim, you always were our favourite Sex and the City girl, now we know why!

Leaving home at sixteen to pursue an acting career Kim found herself in New York, where she attended the American Academy of Dramatic Arts. On graduation her talent was spotted and she signed a five year movie deal with Otto Preminger, a contract that was soon brought out by big bucks studio Universal. The deal saw Kim become a television regular and before long she found herself starring in the Oscar nominated Tribute (1980). More films followed and Kim soon found herself edging towards the comedy genre with parts in Porkys and Police Academy.
Real stardom came knocking in 1987 as Kim was offered the title role in Mannequin, however the success of the movie didn’t guarantee bigger and better roles and it wasn’t until 1991 and Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country that she gained a cult status. Throughout the 90s Kim continued her relationship with the theatre appearing on stage regularly until 1997 when she was offered the role of Samantha in Sex and the City. The rest is television legend.
Despite rumours of rifts between Kim and other cast members a Sex and the City film was finally confirmed in 2007. In the meantime Kim has been working on stage, notably appearing in a West End production of Whose Life Is It Anyway and reportedly agreeing to a part in Desperate Housewives.
Currently dating actor Alexander Siddig, Kim has been married three times - to Larry Davis, Andre J Lyson and Mark Levinson with whom she published Satisfaction: The Art Of The Female Orgasm. She has also written two further books, Being a Girl and Sexual Intelligence.
