One of the last participants in the studio "contract" system.
Capitalized on her role as a femme fatale on "Sex and the City" (1998) when she was hired by Pepsi as their 2000/2001 television campaign spokesperson, appearing in steamy locker room- and Little Red Riding Hood-themed TV spots promoting their short-lived Pepsi One product.

Said on "Tracks" (1997) she understood that many fans didn't like the series finale of "Sex and the City" (1998). She believes that her character "Samantha Jones" would have left her younger boyfriend some weeks later.
Born in Liverpool, England, she moved with her parents at the age of three months to Canada and was raised in Little River, British Columbia, a small community on the eastern side of the Island of Vancouver.
Was immortalized in the song "Ode To Kim Cattrall" on the TV show "Mystery Science Theater 3000" (1988). The song was performed by the character Crow T. Robot in an episode satirizing Cattrall's film City Limits (1985). Cattrall was so impressed by the song that not only did she send flowers to Trace Beaulieu (the voice of Crow), she also appeared at MST3K conventions to sign autographs.
Personal quotes
"There are so many avenues of performing. I'm not interested in the form of musical theater unless it's something like The Rocky Horror Picture Show (1975), which is a blast."
"I don't know many women who can relate to Sharon Stone and the kind of movies she does. I don't know a lot of guys who can relate to Tom Cruise's movies because they're on a kind of fantastic level. I like movies I can relate to."
On "Sex and the City" (1998): "The show is celebrating what it's like to be a woman. We do things people think about but don't vocalize. It gives men and women permission to talk in a way that is healthy."
"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."
On her role in the film _Crossroads (2002)_ , where she plays Britney Spears' mother, who abandons her daughter as a baby and later rejects her as a teen: "It was one of the hardest jobs in my life. I had to be mean to Britney Spears. She is such a little southern sweetie who is only 20. She was so nervous and so well-prepared, and I had to reject her onscreen because I'm her horrible mother who has left her."
"I'm finding now in my 40s that the less makeup I wear, the better. I think softer is better as you get older. With everything. Except men."
"I prefer younger men. In some ways, they are much more open to a woman being stronger and independent then some of the men my age."
