Keeping Out Of The Spotlight – These Hollywood Stars Walked Away

31. Kim Cattrall

Kim is a British-Candaian actress who has been nominated for many Golden Globes. She  made quite an impact on Hollywood back in 1981’s Porky’s, 1984’s Police Academy and 1987’s Mannequin, always playing the gorgeous blonde. Her biggest role was that of Samantha Jones, PR executive, on HBO’s Sex and The City opposite Sarah Jessica Parker, Cynthia Nixon, and Kristin Davis. Kim performed outstandingly as Samantha, totally encapsulating the role of a sassy, confident, cougar who always got what she wanted. She was so great in the role, that she often upstaged the other actresses, including Sarah Jessica Parker, who played Carrie Bradshaw, the main character of the show. After the show, came the movies of the same name, but what happened to Kim afterwards?
