Overview

  • Cattrall announced she will not reprise Samantha Jones after a brief cameo in the Season 2 finale.
  • She turned down the original Sex and the City role four times in 1998 because of insecurities she labels “self-inflicted ageism.”
  • During her six-season run from 1998 to 2004, Cattrall shaped Samantha’s sexuality as empowered and self-directed rather than nymphomaniacal.
  • The actor contrasts herself with Samantha by describing her personal life as a “serial monogamist” rather than a freewheeling single.
  • And Just Like That’s third season is airing with Sarah Jessica Parker, Cynthia Nixon and Kristin Davis joined by new cast members such as Logan Marshall-Green and Rosie O’Donnell.
