Kim Cattrall Says She Always Believed Samantha Jones Would Never Marry
In “Sensitive Skin,” Cattrall plays a wife stuck in a mid-marriage crisis.
In her new Netflix sitcom, “Sensitive Skin,” Kim Cattrall plays a wife stuck in a mid-marriage crisis — a role quite different from her famous “Sex and the City” character, Samantha Jones, the free-loving, wise-cracking Manhattanite.
Although Davina Jackson (her “Sensitive Skin” character) is married, she revealed on “EW Morning Live” that she knew marriage wasn’t in the cards for Samantha Jones.
“I always believed that Samantha would be single,” she said in response to “Sex and the City” creator Darren Star saying he never thought Carrie and Mr. Big would end up together.
She also sat down with Jenny McCarthy on “Dirty Sexy Funny” to clarify that none of Samantha’s sexual exploits came from her own experiences.
“I have a totally different sexual appetite than Samantha,” she said. “I think most people do actually. So there were not a lot of sexual exploits that were plucked from my life.”
She did, however, acknowledge that her character broke barriers for women in Hollywood.
“I was 41 when I got that [role], which was an anomaly,” she told Jenny. “To get a role not just playing somebody’s mom or somebody’s crazy ass aunt or something like that was really new and exciting. I think that’s what cable has given us.”
