Early life

Kim Victoria Cattrall was born on 21 August 1956<ref>Template:Cite news</ref> in the Mossley Hill area of Liverpool, Merseyside<ref>Template:Cite news</ref> the daughter of secretary Gladys Shane (née Baugh; 1929–2022) and construction engineer Dennis Cattrall (1925–2012).<ref>England & Wales, Marriage Index, Jul–Aug–Sep 1953, Liverpool, Lancashire, 10d, 1172.</ref> She has two sisters and she also had a brother named Christopher Cattrall (1963–2018).<ref name=brother>Template:Cite news</ref><ref name="guard"/> When she was 3 months old, her family emigrated to Canada and settled in Courtenay, British Columbia. At age 11, she returned to Liverpool when her grandmother became sick. She took acting examinations at the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art,<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> but returned to Canada after one year and moved to New York City at the age of 16 for her first acting role.

Career

1970s–2000s

Cattrall began her career after graduating from Georges P. Vanier Secondary School in 1972,<ref name=":1">{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> when she left Canada for the US. She attended the American Academy of Dramatic Arts in New York, and upon her graduation signed a five-year film deal with director Otto Preminger. She made her film debut in Preminger's action thriller Rosebud (1975). A year later, Universal Studios bought out that contract and Cattrall became one of the last participants in the contract player system of Universal (also referenced as MCA/Universal during this period) before the system ended in 1980. The Universal system's representative in New York, Eleanor Kilgallen (sister of Dorothy Kilgallen), cast Cattrall in numerous television guest-star roles. One of the first jobs Kilgallen got her was in a 1977 episode of Quincy, M.E. starring Jack Klugman, whom Kilgallen also represented.

In 1978, Cattrall played the house guest of a murderous psychologist in an episode of Columbo and also in "Blindfold", an episode of the 1970s action series Starsky & Hutch, in which Starsky (played by Paul Michael Glaser) is grief-stricken since he accidentally blinded Cattrall's character, young artist Emily Harrison, by a shot of his gun. She appeared in The Bastard (1978) and The Rebels (1979), two television miniseries based on the John Jakes novels of the same names. In 1979, she played the role of Dr. Gabrielle White on The Incredible Hulk and would go down in television Hulk lore as one of the few characters who knew David Banner (alter ego of the title character) was alive and was the creature. Her work in television paid off and she quickly made the transition to cinema. She appeared opposite Jack Lemmon in his Oscar-nominated film Tribute (1980), and in Crossbar, the film about a high jumper who loses his leg and still participates in the Olympic trials, with Cattrall's help. The following year, she appeared in Ticket to Heaven.

In 1981, Cattrall played PE teacher Miss Honeywell in Porky's, followed three years later by a role in Police Academy. In 1985, she starred in three films: Turk 182, City Limits and Hold-Up, the last with French star Jean-Paul Belmondo. In 1986, she played Kurt Russell's love interest in the action film Big Trouble in Little China. In 1987, her lead role in the cult comedy film Mannequin proved a huge success with audiences. One of her best-known film roles is that of Lieutenant Valeris in Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country; Cattrall assisted in developing the character by designing her own hairstyle and even helped come up with the name. Aside from her film work, Cattrall is also a stage actress, with performances in Arthur Miller's A View from the Bridge and Anton Chekhov's Three Sisters and Wild Honey to her credit. In addition, she can be heard reading the poetry of Rupert Brooke on the CD Red Rose Music SACD Sampler Volume One.

In 1997, she was cast in Sex and the City, Darren Star's series which was broadcast on HBO. As Samantha Jones, Cattrall gained international recognition.

Cattrall was originally cast in the title role of Linda in a 2015 play by Penelope Skinner, to be directed by Michael Longhurst and produced at London's Royal Court Theatre. She was forced to drop out of that production a few days before the opening, due to "chronic, debilitating insomnia". She returned to New York and started a program of cognitive behaviour therapy to train herself to be able to sleep better. The therapy was successful; it included developing certain evening rituals, removing electronic devices from her bedroom, and limiting the use of the bed to two activities, one of which would be sleeping. Meanwhile, for the scheduled opening of Skinner's play, actress Noma Dumezweni took over the role to much acclaim and publicity.<ref>Taylor, Paul.

Cattrall took part in the BBC Arts' I'm with the Banned,<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> the flagship event in Belarus Free Theatre's (BFT) tenth-anniversary celebrations. Commissioned by The Space, the concert took place at London's KOKO and was broadcast worldwide. Radical underground company BFT brought together a unique line-up of musicians and performers to stand up for artistic freedom of expression and against injustice.

In 2016, Cattrall starred in the BBC mini-series The Witness for the Prosecution<ref>Template:Citation</ref> based on the Agatha Christie short story.

Development began on a revival of Sex and the City following the cancellation of a third film adaptation. Catrall previously expressed that she did not want to return for the third film due to disagreeing with its planned storylines, involving killing off Mr. Big, and Samantha receiving nude pictures from Miranda's 14-year-old son, Brady.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> The reboot titled And Just Like That... premiered in 2021. In 2022, Sarah Jessica Parker spoke on The Hollywood ReporterTemplate:'s Award Chatter podcast about why Cattrall wasn't asked to be a part of the revival. She stated, "We did not ask her to be part of this because she made it clear that that wasn't something she wanted to pursue, and it no longer felt comfortable for us, and so it didn't occur to us".<ref>Template:Cite magazine</ref> In 2023, however, Catrall reprised her role as Samantha for a brief cameo for the season 2 finale.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>

Family and relationships

In 2009, Cattrall took part in the BBC One documentary series Who Do You Think You Are?. She discovered that her grandfather George Baugh disappeared in 1938, having abandoned his family (including Cattrall's then 8-year-old mother and her two younger sisters) and turned out to have bigamously married his new wife the following year in Tudhoe; he subsequently had another four children. Cattrall was told that Baugh immigrated to Australia in 1961, became a postmaster, retired in 1972, and died in Sydney in 1974.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref> Her mother and aunts had known nothing of their father's life after he left until they heard what the Who Do You Think You Are? researchers had discovered, nor had the family previously seen a clear photograph of him. An edited version of the episode was later shown as a part of the U.S. series of the same name.

On 4 February 2018, Cattrall announced that her brother had disappeared in Alberta. She asked for public help in finding him,<ref name=brother/> and he was found dead several hours later, having taken his own life.<ref name="guard"/><ref name=brother/>

Cattrall has been married three times. Her first marriage, from 1977 to 1979, was to Larry Davis, and was annulled. Her second marriage, from 1982 to 1989, was to Andre J. Lyson; the couple lived in Frankfurt, where she learned to speak German fluently, but she admits she has forgotten much of it.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}Template:Cbignore</ref><ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }} – Catrall was in Frankfurt from 1982 to 1985.</ref><ref>Gala: Kim Cattrall lived in Frankfurt with Andre J.
