- Whistler Film Festival 2014 honoured Kim Cattrall as our Tribute honouree. Kim Cattrall has had an extensive acting career that spans, film, stage and television. This is a clip of her discussing her role as Samantha on Sex and The City.
Let’s be honest. Kim made the show. Period.
100%
Yep, undeniably the heart of the show
She was always my fav
welp lets see how this reboot do without her
Absolutely!!!! 💯👌
KIM IS THE OLDEST BUT SHE ACTUALLY WAS THE ONE THAT BROUGHT SEXY APEPEAL, COFIDENCE, CLASS, STYLE AND ALL THE MODERN LOOK TO THE SHOW
Stop yelling man. We know.
@@doggytheanarchist7876 ARE YOU SURE YOU CAN HEAR ME???....DID THE PEOPLE IN THE BACK HEAR ???🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@marcomarko1759 I TYPE WITH CAPS TOO .....LOL & SMH TO THESE SHEEP THAT FOLLOW RULES OF SOME COMPUTER GEEK THAT MADE UP THIS RIDICULOUS RULE.
@@virgoqueen8950 It's not a rule. It's just that we're literate and read a lot, so all caps tend to mean something whether we like it or not. Writing in all caps is also lazy.
@@randolphpinkle4482 I AM RETIRED.......I EARNED THE RIGHT TO BE AS LAZY AS I WANT.......LMAOOOOO
Goddess. She knows her worth. Samantha would have never existed without the amazing talents of Kim. I'm so glad she took that role. She helped redefine the older women role.
It’s true
Thank you for that!!
Excuse me, but this is a Starbucks.
They had already casted another actress but at the last moment she agreed so it would have happened regardless.
Since when 40something is old???
I’m only 22, but Kim made me change my mindset on aging. Knowing that there are beautiful, sexy, and confident women like Kim/Samantha out there has made me no longer fear the “over the hill”
Wow, amazing.
I just turned 27 and i feel the same way
Life starts at 40. You’ve learned from mistakes are making real money and get to reap the benefits of some real hard work.
Superman did that for me. And captain kangaroo
This show expanded on what the Golden Girls had achieved in the 80s. Their depiction of mature women was fantastic
No offence to SJP, but Kim Cattrall has always been the actress who has stood out for me on that show (it's not really my kind of show in the first place). Every scene she has, she steals it. Excellent actress.
she is a stage actress that is why
MultiKarola24 Oh yeah, it's definitely made clear when you watch her (which is a compliment).
She is a great actress. And i think the other 3 were also great actresses in their roles.
Allen Quinn
What do you mean no offense to SJP?!?!
SJP's character was the weakest, most whiny bitch of the entire show... It nauseates me to even see her in the "Hocus Pocus" movie.... Because again, she plays some bimbo, whiny slut....
Carrie was the most annoying fucking character of all time... She was like a grown up toddler, spoiled brat.... Always getting so much love from her friends, and Aiden that truly loved her, begging pathetically for money from Charlotte while buying 40,000 worth of shoes, and it still was never enough...
Spoiled fucking, annoying , entitled, and whiny brat....
I wouldn't have her in my group of friends for very long at all
Her character also had good qualities. Without mistakes she'd be perfect, and that would be unhuman. And none of tha has anything to do with SJP's acting skills, which are very good.
Kim was the star of SATC - everybody know's it.
not really it was the 4... Samantha was good for the laughs but she wasnt enough to carry an entire show.. she was a cartoon.
All of them are the stars. It wouldn’t be a show without the 4 of them. Perfect cast
Especially SJP.
@@aaronxalapa They were all a perfect match although she was a and the real true friend not like Carry.
True and if they did what friends did with the cast having them all get paid equally and shown her some respect she would have probably have been involved in the HBO reboot. They have shown on the show that women can have the same freedoms as men and not be labeled whores and too bad that as actresses they didn't show that each woman was equal and should have been paid equally.
People often say Carrie is the normal one, the grounded one. But I always thought Carrie was the most selfish and neurotic. She was always making drama where there wasn't any. The other 3 knew who they were and what they wanted.
I agree!
Carrie and Charlotte lived in fantasy world. Samantha and Miranda were the realists.
I think carrie was the normal one in terms of how most people are in general, dysfunctional and self sabotaging under the illusion of self righteousness. There are very view people who are realists and live their truth like Samantha thats why she was everybody's favorite character. This show was quite dynamic
I love all of the characters like really love them. But it sucked that they were not able to include a character who is a POC. It is necessary to be inclusive, but in the writing/plot sense it would be more interesting and more broad like they can explore many depths and issues because a woman of color would have a more different experience than what the characters had.
It is television but Carry never was grounded. Carry always wanted it all, when she had it, she did not want it anymore. The first time when I saw SATC on tv I thought Big was an asshole. The second, third...:-) time I watched it on DVD I realized Carry was the asshole. She was complicated, selffish, egoistic and so on...I loved her style the most but as a friend: NO! My order of friendship..Sam the perfect friend, than Charlotte, than maybe Miranda, but I definitly would not have a friend like Carry.
Shes so insanely well spoken, it's intoxicating to listen to her talk
Classy articulate 😊
when I see her as kim I get to realise how much work she has put in her samantha jones haracter and I love her even more
SO true.The facial expressions of Samantha when I rewatch some clips are exquisite. Such natural comical ability. It does not immediately scream comedy, which is when it's comedy at its finest imo.
Shes way better than sara... acting n looks
The fact that she was able to read the script & know exactly what her character should do or be like or her characters future hence having no kids I think really shows how amazing her acting is
Haha that's the thing about Kim Catrall, she broke barriers by refusing to settle for old maid/mother roles just because she was over 40. Good for her, Samantha will always be a legendary character. No one else could play her
Samantha and Maranda were my faves. They were the strongest characters on SATC
True ! The coolest too !
I agree. Felt so when the show originally aired, and unlike with some other shows you revisit many years later this hasn't changed for me. Miranda was a realistic strong woman, Samantha a fantasy.
It took some time, but I grew to deeply appreciate Charlotte. She was unapologetically plain - which is what many of us are. She didn’t need to stand out, obsess over designer stuff, date a lot of people or have a lot of sex but loved her friends that lived differently too. She was meek and lady-like in the traditional sense, but was quite assertive when things mattered to her.
Lady Bug By far!!!
Carrie is the worst character.
She made Samantha so deep, developed and played her so well it seemed so effortlessly. Samantha was the reason why the show was what it was.
I love love LOVE Kim Cattrall. The fact that she’s not doing the reboot actually shows that she’s the truest to her character and the series on a whole. So graceful. Samantha Jones was the main character

@@freddyjafar1490 shes only in the finale for two minutes. So lets just wait and see
I can’t believe they’re doing another season, minus Kim. She carried that whole show on her damn back
They are?
@@elizabethbell8872 Yes. All 3 cast members (not Kim) have been confirmed and filming starts in the spring. It’s going to be such a different show without her 😢
I heard they decided not to do that
Anothe show or another movie ?
@@alexhoffman5885 mini series
Samantha is THE BEST female character in a tv series EVER made! she made my single life better 10 times around
It's funny because when I was younger and watched SATC for the first time it was all about Carrie for me. As an adult watching it back Carrie is the LEAST appealing character. Hands down Samantha & Miranda carried that show and are by far the most interesting/complex characters on that show. Such a joy to watch those 2.
Same here, totally. I can’t watch Carrie anymore, SO self absorbed.
Totally agree!
I never liked Carrie! She was sooo pretentious and annoying, and she overreacted all the time. She was so not appealing to me. I wonder if somebody else would have elevated the character.
@@Serena-ch8xl SATC is not a dramatic show, it’s a sitcom. There was need for silliness and levity, maybe some immaturity that Carrie and Charlotte brought to the show. I think the four balance each other perfectly.
@@Sandra-lb5pu exactly. She’s the worst.
Samantha was the one character I enjoyed the most!!
And she had the best oneliners :-)
Agree, not begging life to happen for her, taking what she wants and not apologizing. Same time not being bitter and ruthless. Still funny and caring ;)
She deserves six Oscars for best comedian. One for every season. She’s incredible.
Emmy’s!
@@vapalaca Emmys.
Sucks she never got an Emmy
Yes- I realize you get Emmys for TV shows but shes so good she deserves oscars.
When watching her on interviews, you can see why she didn’t really get on with the other actresses. She is SO calm, confident, soft spoken, thoughtful and intelligent. I’ve been watching these interviews with the rest promoting this show and they are SO PHONY. Especially Kristin Davis, just laughing, screaming grinning from ear to ear like a 6 year old at Disneyland. It’s just so fake… There is no way they’re really like this all the time. Kim is too real for them. And I respect her so much for having more respect for her character of Samantha to have her be humiliated again, as they did in that 2nd movie.
Every woman on this show was inspirational in their own way. I began watching this show, probably when I was a bit too young to even be watching anything about sex (13). I remember laughing at the funny sex scenes, but also kind of getting a "lesson" about making mistakes with men(carrie), being a strong, independent women with her own (Miranda), being safe with sex but still having fun (sam) and keeping hope that love actually existed (charlotte).
Beautifully said.
This is a perfect way to see the message ❤
I agree
Carrie was not inspirational.
oh my god! you summarized the whole show!!! love love love it!
Cattrall is a very good actress. You can see her talent from just this clip alone. Her natural demeanor and speaking style are far different that what she used for Samantha. Sarah Jessica Parker (and many other successful actors) always seem to be playing the same thing in role after role --- same delivery, same mannerism, same voice. I've always admired actors who convincingly change their mannerism for a part. Cattrall did that well as Samantha.
IMO, Cattrall and Samantha were the secret weapon to the success of the show. Samantha was the most well written and interesting of the characters. Having an actress of Cattrall's talent to play her made the character a gold mine for the show. We'll have to see how the upcoming sequel series is written and played. However, I bet money that, without Cattrall and Samantha, it won't be nearly as good as the original.
And Just Like That... you’ve been proven right! ✌️
Good writing matched will talented actors is always a great marriage. Samantha was written to be the standout as series television needs both, no one would watch just a whole show of Jack and Karen you need a Will n Grace to plateau much like the other actresses in Sex in the City. I came to appreciate it in my later years when I was older great idea!
I loved kim. She was the strongest
the most influential character on that show. she was sex positive, confident and in touch with the way the world was progressing in a way the other characters weren't. love her.
Samantha Jones is an iconic character
Sam was my favorite character on SATC! Confident, beautiful, successful and she never judged her friends and always supported them. ❤️
In the scene where Sam is at a black-tie event wearing a wig due to being bald from chemo, pulls off he wig because it's just too damn hot. 10 years later that scene is my inspiration for being able to go wig-less when I'm also bald & going through chemo. Wigs are hot and I was already suffering from miserable hot flashes. Thank you so much for making that scene.
She’s so amazing. She’s incredibly well spoken and I look up to her over any other ‘mature’ actress out there. I wish she were cast in more roles because she really embodies every character she’s played
You should watch her in “tell me a story” if you have not already!
I love her positivity and security.
Kim MADE THIS show….her antics, attitude, and comedic talent, looks and acting abilities far outweigh all of the other 3 actresses, period. I watched it BECAUSE of her…..she was a hoot to watch. Love this actress, she is great in all she does.
She MADE sex and the city what it is as far as I’m concerned. That’s why they won’t do a 3rd movie without her. You can’t have SATC without Samantha :)
1 year later... yes they can and they are 😄
I think they're rebooting the series without her tho.. but yeah, Samantha made the franchise for me.
@@sonasondzis7838 and It won't be as good without her.
@@spelake5056 That's very true unfortunately
6 episodes in, it isn't as good!
She really is beautiful
She played that character so well. There's only one Samantha Jones.
I refuse to watch a reboot without the main character who ACTUALLY had sex--the ONLY one who had sex. How can you have Sex and the City WITHOUT Samantha Jones?!?! Make it make sense!
You didnt know that the other characters had sex too?
There are 3 other dynamic, powerful, meaningful characters who are beloved. That's how.
It’s necessary to see them naked to know the characters are having Sex? Please
@The viva warrior Kristen Davis did too but I think she changed her contract later on in the series.
Well, don't watch, who cares? Lol
The memory of this show is fading, but I remember caring the most for Kim's character. She was hilarious and when something bad happened to her, it was felt.
I'm still so sad and I'm gonna miss her so much in the reboot, Samantha was the best character in the show, always so self-confident and strong... and I'm sure that nobody would ever play that role like Kim did
She made the show. Her character was groundbreaking and she owned every inch of the screen whenever she appeared in a scene
SJP may have played the lead role on script on Sex and the City but Kim Cattral's Samantha has been the lead on tv and audience. I don't even remember SJP's character name at this point. Seriously.
Lmfao
Samantha Jones is the one character that transcends time. Her quotes are the most iconic and have actually become true. The one character that stays true to the Sex and the City message and SJP was jealous of all that.
samantha is the star of the show. watching again to this day, i still don't give a fuck about carrie but im always looking forward to what samantha was up to.
Word!
I loooooove her voice it’s so sexy and classy at the same time
My thoughts exactly!
They should give "Samantha Jones" character her own spinoff... where she is a billionaire now of her Public Relations agency and she rumbles "with the rich famous and elite"...
They could make the show a drama/comedy and call it... "PR" short for Public Relations...
I'd watch this
Id watch this 🥰 much better than carrie complaining about a man
I would certainly watch this for sure.
Samantha was EVERYTHING!!! I loved her character. She was bold, strong, independent, sexy and FREE!!!!
She is so well spoken ❤️
I’m 22 watching Kim play Samantha completely change and revolutionized the way I think about aging as a woman. She was older AND she was sexy confident funny and amazing.
what a fabulous character she built!!! it was decades ahead of her time! so empowered and liberated
Shoulda, Coulda, Woulda is my favorite episode
Kim is such an incredible actress and talent. I remember a tv critic saying in the early 2000s, shortly after the show ended: “the show’s “supposed to be” about Carrie...but Samantha was the one they tuned in to see, Samantha was the one they remembered.” Oh how true those words are. Samantha was the heart of the show, along with Miranda. Kim and Cynthia are fantastically talented actresses, and the life they both infused into their characters made them so dynamic, layered and relatable. Carrie for me was the most unlikable of the 4 leads....I thought so as the show aired and think so today
Kim is a saint. I hope she gets to be 100. If she wants to.
She is amazing. I am rewatching the entire series and no matter what, Kim is the best. I can't believe they would even DREAM of making a sequel without her. She's incredible. And Samantha is an absolute gem of a character. She has such grace as a person - an artist, not a "celebrity." LOVE KIM CATTRALL.
Her voice. Not sure how the reboot or whatever will work without her. Kim is an actor and a star.
As someone who is now her age and who decided not to have children, I appreciate what she did with the character so much more.
Kim was so good in that show. They should have paid her way more $$$.
Seeing the disaster that is the reboot, One could see how critical Kim was to the show. She was the best actress of them all.
The cancer arc was beautiful that's why I never considered the movies as canon. Why should Smith (who stood by her) be erased from her life???
Because she erased HERself from her life
Kim really gave a dimension to the City that brought the series to life in a way that never would have happened without Kim 's performance.I don't think anyone could have made that show sing the way K.C. did and it never would have been the hit it was without her amazing,poignant, humorous,playful ,distingiished , BRILLIANT performance.She is a magnificent actress and should have been paid every bit as much as SJP was..
I absolutely love Samantha Jones and could never see anyone else play her character than Kim. Absolutely love her and respect the fact that shes so true to herself!!!
She's the only reason I ever watched the show! I loved her character!
I'll never forget how amazing Kim looked in the LA episodes. She really was the standout comic relief and you were just drawn to her in every scene. It saddens me that she isn't involved in the reboot. I hope the personal drama gets resolved
I remember being upset when a friend told me I was more like Samantha than Carrie. She would of told me that today and I would of been very pleased. Samantha was the character the most genuine, free, open, trustworthy, powerful, non-judgmental of the show. Love her and glad Kim took the role.
Samantha was really cool and fun.
Samantha was and still is my favorite character. She was the cornerstone of the show.
The way she opened that bottle - so graceful! 😍
I was smilling the whole interview....its so amazing to see her in the series and on stage
She was strong and powerful, graceful and unashamed of who she is and was. She did get upset at times in the show, and broke down like we all do. She had a career and friends she loved. But when she fell, she cried, talked it out, dusted herself off and went again. I think Samantha was the only character not to bring up old drama or pick a fight just for the sake of drama. And if a man was a jerk, she didn't stick around that long.
An absolute class act. I love her so much 💜
I love her voice, her personality, her talent
Samantha was the heart and soul of SATC. She was the wise big sister and honestly had the best character development. Carrie was toxic af.
Kim Catrall you are unique, smart, powerful.
i’m in love with kim’s personality. she is just a show stopper 😍
She always speaks tremendously beautifully.
I find her so incredibly captivating. She’s so well spoken, classy and strong. I could listen to her talk for hours. I wish I was as head strong as her
Such a money grab to do the show again...without Kim Cattrall. I have enormous respect for her, and honestly, I think SJP never had her back, ever.
that is not true
Kim was the one CONSTANTLY saying "we're not friends" or "we're colleagues". Were they supposed to BEG her to be their friend? If she wants to hold out, she gets left behind. Her choice. Now the show moves on without her. Her. Choice.
If she said TODAY "I wanna revisit Samantha", the doors would open for her. Bottom line: she didn't want it.
@@JennaLeigh She definitely didn't want to do another crappy film.
@@mnelson2008 I can certainly understand why she wouldn't.
@@JennaLeigh Yep.
I’m 25 years late watcher and the fan if Sex and the city! I just started to watch less than year ago. I knew all four actresses only from interviews and newspapers. I never understood the obsession of the fans with Samantha until I started to watch the show. Now I know and understand why she will be the forever favourite.
I love how Samantha never judged. I'm the same way and always thought everyone was like that. When Carrie judged Samantha for blowing the ups guy I was really shocked and so disappointed. Who gives a fck Carrie!
I love her honestly. A legend
I see TH-cam recommendations have brought us all together again
Hows this...I was at work in Sydney, my partner rang and said 'Samantha is sitting on our doorstep!!!'.....I rushed home, and Kim was in the doorway, waiting to film the car commercial!!! My house is in the background of the ad!
She's just as awesome as Samantha, OMG
Kim Cattrall is so elegant and talented! I admire her so much. Samantha Jones was my favorite character on SATC.
She is my favorite SATC character. So true to herself and unapologetic!
I’m so happy she did it 😭 like really can’t imagine no one else being Samantha and can’t imagine the show without Samantha.
Real rolemodel for women. What an inteligent, confident and hard working women. She planned her career and implemented this plan. Kim Catrall and Meryl Streep are my favourite people in the movie industry.
I just love her so much
Sex and the City would have lasted one and only one season without the brilliance of Kim Cattral. Sure, the other actors are great too but Kim made the series extraordinary.
Her voice sounds so soothing 🦋 🥰
After watching the past few weeks of AJLT, I can confidently say that I’d rather watch a show featuring Samantha’s personal journey in the UK than the other 3 in NYC.
Kim is such a brilliant actress - she literally steals every scene she’s in. She was the show for me. But let’s also give Darren credit for his vision for the show and for casting Kim!
I love to hear the actress speak. The character was great. But I really appreciate getting a look at the mind behind the art.
Kim is deeper than Samantha. We never got to see half of the real woman in that character. I think that’s why it was easy for Kim to let it go.
Whenever she appears, I know that something interesting will happen or some iconic quotes with amazing facial expression will be shown. The show is really great
Kim is one of my favorite people on earth. She will never know the impact she had on me and so many others.
One of the best characters in television history. The reason why to this day all these years later I revisit that phenomenal show. Why my mom is now able to watch it in Spanish and binges it!!!
Such a feel good and true show.
And Kim is the one who always stood out the most.
Samantha Jones is my spirit animal. My all time favorite character ❤️💯
All the four character played by these 4 gorgeous women is something one sees once in a life time. We remember you all by your character soo much and has made little to big differences in our personal life tooo,. awaiting for new series of SNC
Ahhhh The Golden Girls and Designing Women had the same characters just lacking the explicit sex scenes.... They are called archetypal... Based on the 4 Humors from Ancient Greek plays...
She's actually so mature and wise! I love it!
I watched this at 2 points of life and realized that they didn’t give Samantha her flowers 💐! I hated how they didn’t do much to develop her character. Primarily just made her out to look like she was sex-crazed and couldn’t handle her business which she very well could. I loved the unapologetic nature of Samantha Jones. Being bold in who you are but still able to deal with vulnerability at times. She made it known that not aspiring to be a Mrs. can be just as positive as being a Mrs.
I hope I age like her. But even if I don’t, I’ll still be beautiful. Any every person can be beautiful at any age.
I have Tons of respect for her. A great actress, aging so gracefully. Smart and funny and sexy. What a nice woman.
samantha jones and kim catrall are the two women role models i never had in my real life
There is no Samantha Jones without Kim Cattrall. Such a gift! Would love to see a spin-off with SJ in London
She’s the best !!!!!! She made the show ❤️❤️❤️ god bless you
Samantha and Charlotte were definitely my faves . I would love to be Charlotte in the day and Samantha at night .
She play the role of Sam, but i think the real Kim is more like Charlotte. She looks so hopefull, calm and sweet.
