Kim Cattrall

Biography

A hot, versatile supporting player and occasional lead, Kim Cattrall won attention as the sex starved coach in the surprise hit teen comedy, "Porky's" (1981) and was excellent opposite Rob Lowe in Bob Swaim's stylish thriller, "Masquerade" (1988). She also played the mysterious former lover of James Belushi in the Oliver Stone-produced, "Twin Peaks"-style miniseries, "Wild Palms" (ABC, 1993), and was a former beauty queen, wife and mother having an affair with the stable boy in the short-lived "Angel Falls" (CBS, 1993).

Born in Liverpool, England, but raised in Canada, Cattrall did some acting as an 11-year in a Liverpool theatre during a visit back home. She dropped out of high school at age 16 to move to New York and try her hand at acting. She became possibly the youngest graduate ever of the American Academy of Dramatic Arts, and made her professional stage debut in a production of "The Rocky Picture Horror Show". She has since appeared infrequently on stage: she was Masha in a 1985 production of "Three Sisters" and co-starred with Ian McKellen in the unsuccessful play, "Wild Honey" (1986). Other credits include "The Misanthrope" in 1989 at Chicago's famed Goodman Theatre and the title role of "Miss Julie" (1992) at the McCarter Theatre in Princeton, NJ.

The lovely brunette made her feature film acting debut for producer-director Otto Preminger in "Rosebud" (1975), but it was not until 1980 that she had a truly showy part, that of the young woman hand-picked by Jack Lemmon to bring his stuffy son Robby Benson alive in "Tribute".

She followed with a memorable scene amidst smelly gym socks in "Porky's", was among the ensemble in the first "Police Academy" (1984) and was female support for Timothy Hutton in "Turk 182" (1985).

Kim was the fast-talking, two-fisted lawyer Gracie in John Carpenter's "Big Trouble in Little China" (1986), the love interest for Andrew McCarthy (when she is alive) in "Mannequin" (1987) and Rob Lowe's bitchy society wife in "Masquerade". Cattrall took a more dramatic turn in "Midnight Crossing" (1988) as Lexa, a seemingly confident woman who, in fact, needs the support of a man to move forward in her life.

She was the villainous Justine DeWinter in "The Return of the Musketeers" (1989), Mr. Spock's protege, Valeris, in "Star Trek IV: The Undiscovered Country" (1991) and the high school friend about to embark on her third marriage in "Live Nude Girls" (1995).

On the small screen, Kim Cattrall won notice as Melanie Adams in the CBS miniseries "Scruples" (1980) and played an aspiring political columnist who ends up writing something else entirely in "The Gossip Columnist" (syndicated, 1980).

She was Andrew Stevens' wife in both "The Bastard" (syndicated, 1978) and its sequel, "The Rebels" (syndicated, 1979). Cattrall played Susan, the title character's best friend in "The Heidi Chronicles" (TNT, 1995) before finding worldwide fame as Samantha in "Sex and the City."
