Kim Cattrall Turned Down Iconic ‘Sex and the City’ Role Four Times Because of “Self-Inflicted Ageism”With And Just Like That… returning to our screens via HBO Max, it feels right that Kim Cattrall should also get back in on the Sex and The City action. Reports of a long-running feud between Parker and Cattrall have dominated Sex and The City headlines for years following the 2008 and 2010 movies. However, in a new interview with U.K. outlet The Times, Cattrall is revealing a few tidbits about her connection to the iconic character of sex-positive publicist Samantha Jones. In the feature published Thursday evening, the 69-year-old Liverpool-born star said she turned down the role four times, believing that at 41 she wouldn’t be seen by audiences as sexy. Cattrall was talking to The Times about the second season of Central Intelligence, a retelling of the founding of the CIA in which she stars opposite Ed Harris and Johnny Flynn.
