Kim Cattrall (born
August 21,
1956) is a
British-
American actress. Cattrall was born in
Liverpool,
England.
At the age of 3 months, Cattrall and her family moved across the Atlantic Ocean to Canada. When she was 16, she moved to New York, where she studied at the American Academy of Dramatic Art. In 1981, at age 25, she briefly dated the recently-divorced Canadian Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau.
Cattrall starred in a handful of movies during the 1970s, but her first taste of international fame came in 1981, when she participated in the first Porky's movie. Then, she participated in the first Police Academy movie in 1984, and in the first Mannequin, in 1987.
Cattrall is better known, however, for her work as "Samantha Jones" in the Sex and the City television series. Cattrall has played "Samantha" since the series premiered.
Like "Samantha Jones", some of her other characters have been known for being sexually open women.
In addition to her career as an actress, she is also a writer, having co-written with her third husband Mark Levinson the book Satisfaction: The Art of the Female Orgasm.
Cattrall has also been married to Larry Davis and Andre Lusonin.
