It’s 66-year-old Kim Cattrall.
The beauty was in hit movies in the 1980s Police Academy (1984), City Limits (1985), Big Trouble in Little China (1986), Mannequin (1987), Masquerade (1988).
But her greatest fame came on the small screen.
The British-born star played Samantha Jones in Sex & The City, which aired on HBO from 1998 to 2004.
The thespian worked opposite Sarah Jessica Parker, Kristin Davis and Cynthia Nixon.
The show was a fashion force that pushed women to wear high heels and be more daring with their designer looks.
It also helped fuel an obsession with expensive brands like Chanel and Louis Vuitton.
The role won Kim raves.
She received five Emmy Award nominations and four Golden Globe Award nominations, winning the 2002 Golden Globe for Best Supporting Actress.
An icon: it is 66-year-old Kim Cattrall. The beauty was in hit movies in the 1980s Police Academy (1984), City Limits (1985), Big Trouble in Little China (1986), Mannequin (1987), Masquerade (1988). Seen in November 2022
She reprized the role in the films Sex and the City (2008) and Sex and the City 2 (2010).
Cattrall told Variety this year that she didn’t want to play Samantha at first: “I turned it down three times. I didn’t think I could. At 42, I really didn’t think I would pull it off. I finally said, “You’re making a mistake here.” We did the pilot – it was good, but it wasn’t there. And then it started to make its way. I realized because I had never done a series before, the more you play the character, like in the theater, the more you add and change to it. I remember a smile came on one day and I was like, “Holy sh*t, that’s great. Sam just got a new smile.”
But she’s not part of the And Just Like That sequel thanks to a reported long-simmering feud with Parker.
She told Variety, “It is great wisdom to know when enough is enough. I also didn’t want to compromise on what the show was for me. The way forward seemed clear.’
In this new image, she is seen with dark hair and a hat.
The caption reads: ‘1977 My first job as a contract player at MCA Universal Studios. A period drama called Testimony Of Two Men for Operation Prime Time.
“I played Cousin Maude who came to visit on the 4th of July weekend. . Leo Penn (Sean’s father) directed. #tbt.’
Her career started in the 1970s.
Cattrall made her film debut in Rosebud in 1975.
