Kim Cattrall
Born: 21 August 1956 Liverpool, England
Height: 5' 9˝"
Began her career at age 16 when she left home to live alone in New York City. There, she attended the American Academy of Dramatic Arts and upon her graduation signed a five-year movie deal with director Otto Preminger. A year later, Universal Studios bought out that contract and Cattrall became one of the last participants of Universal Contract Player System. During her time with Universal, she guest starred in numerous television programmes of varying style and genre. Her work in television paid off, and she quickly made the transition to cinema. She starred opposite Jack Lemmon in his Oscar-nominated movie Tribute in 1980. The following year, she starred in the critically acclaimed Ticket to Heaven. In 1982, Cattrall played Miss Honeywell in Porky's, followed two years later with a role in the original Police Academy. During 1985, she starred in three movies: Turk 182, City Limits and Hold-Up. In 1987, her lead role in Mannequin proved a huge success with audiences. One of her most well-known film roles is that of Lieutenant Valeris in Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country. She is perhaps best known for her role as Samantha Jones in the HBO comedy/romance series Sex and the City. The role earned her an Emmy Award nomination and the Golden Globe Award.
