Kim Cattrall sees no future for herself in Hollywood because they simply don't respect or have roles for many women over 50. "Hollywood is not in my future," she announced during the Aruba Film Festival this past weekend promoting her new flick 'Meet Monica Velour.'Cattrall gained weight for her role in the independent flick where she plays a down-on-her-luck porn star way past her prime, but she says she isn't interested in all the upkeep it takes (including plastic surgery) to get directors in Tinseltown to give her the time of day now that she is 54-years-old.
"I am not interested in being a Barbie Doll and turning myself into a sausage in the next twenty years," Cattrall said. "I want to go the road of actresses like Helen Mirren and Judy Dench who have lines on their face and aren't afraid of playing their age."
Those women may not be afraid to play their age, but there are few directors who want them, Cattrall says, which is why the 'Sex and the City' sexpot sees her future in the theater and in television, primarily outside of America.
"There aren't enough roles for women over 50," Cattrall told PopEater. "Directors here aren't interested in us. We have to go out there and make them for ourselves which is what I did with 'Monica Velour.'"

Well 54 or 34... Kim Cattrall is drop dead sexy! Darn fine actress too.. we should all look so good at 54 and its a shame if casting directors can't see that people are more interested in good stories of all ages than in just youth oriented films.

Kim was the best thing about Sex In City! She looks incredible! After watching the trailer, can't wait to see "Monica Velour!" (Would be awesome if Kim got an Oscar nod, that would show 'em!)
Agreed, I have always thought that she is superb and I'm sure there really are many who do want her so I'm sure her career will continue. Those guys in Hollywood must be gay if they are not interested in directing her! Just her apperance alone would get me out to see any film that appears in, enought said! Oh yes, I know some women who also would be interested in her!!!
good for you kim...don't touch your face ,it's beautiful!!hollywood doesn't understand that most women and men do not need to see perfect faces or figures....give us someone real,please..
No, it's the fact that she cant act for s-h-i-t...Even in all those foreign moives that she has had a role in including UK films, she can't act for s-h-i-t.
Good for her! Too many beautiful woman ruin themselves with plastic surgery. Don't understand all this worry about getting older, I mean, hopefully we all will.

Anyone one who risks their life over vanity, clearly has mental issues. Any time someone goes under anesthesia, they are risking their life. That is why you have to sign a consent form. These women need to look deep inside their minds and their hearts, before having unnecessary surgery.
Kim Cattrall is beautiful & a great actress!!

Oh, B.S. She was cute in Sex/City, but a great actress she is not. She cannot pull of the roles for older women which usually require more acting ability than she can muster.
Amazing that they look at 50+ women as not worthy of roles but look at the used up men, e.g. - Harrison Ford, etc. that they love and cast with young chickies! I find it all disgusting. Typical double standard.

I am 37 years old and I would love to be with Kim Catrall anytime! I'll be her love interest in any movie, public and private :)
Unfortunately, audiences want to go see the old guys like Harrison Ford. It's all about the money. Look at film grosses, the action movies make three times as much as quality films like The Queen and Julie and Julia.
sob, sob, sob,
What about Diane Keaton, Meryl Streep, Laura Linney, and others in their age category? They are not skin and bones who look like they live in third world countries. I think they are all great and look great. I'd like to see Kim get a good role. I think she is great but stuck in the Sex and the City stereotype.

Absolutley right! The roles are out there if she looks hard enough. Lot's of actresses are in great movies that are older and don't resort to plastic surgery. Susan Sarandon and the others that Lucy's Sis named. If you have the talent you will get the work. Kim got lucky finding a great show to be on for a number of years, but that does'nt mean she's an actress in the category of Meryl, Susan and Annette. She just needs to keep looking and get better at her craft. Look at Melissa Leo...she was practically unheard of until this year..and she won an oscar!
Don't use the 'I'm older, no one wants me' excuse. You can succeed if you keep trying.
Fantastic point, but Laura Linney is still in her mid-forties...I wouldn't put her in the same "age-category" as those sixtysomething legends that you mentioned.
:)
Good point! Sour grapes?
I am a big fan of the past TV series, Columbo. One of my favorites is an episode with Kim Cattrall playing a very young psychiatric patient, who happens to be "in love" with the murderer. I hope she continues to give us lots of fun and interesting characters in anything she does in the future.

Kim Cattrall is the luckiest no-talent in the business and should everyday light a candle for her agent. I've seen her on TV, in movies and on stage. She's made of wood. She held up production on SITC2 because of her egocentric demands. I felt the movie, which was dreadful, should have merely begun with Samantha's funeral. They'd already established her cancer. In The Ghost Writer she couldn't even fake a believable British accent and she was born there and raised by British parents in Canada. She should gather up her overpayments and fade away into the night.

The nail hit firmley on the head ...Well said Kim it is time to take the money and enjoy your life and leave the fame behind ... There is life after the tabloids. You beat out thousands of actors with far more talent than you with you looks and fame so shut up and revel in your luck!!!
