Kim Cattrall Passed on ‘Sex and the City’ Role Four Times Because of ‘Self-Inflicted Ageism’: ‘That Changed. 40 Became Sexy’
Kim Cattrall passed on the role of Samantha in 'Sex and the City' four times due to 'self-inflicted ageism.'
Her hesitance stemmed from a bout of insecurity that Cattrall labeled “self-inflicted ageism.” “[Samantha] wasn’t a nymphomaniac — well, some people might have thought she was — but she was just enjoying the main course,” she added of her iconic role.
