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.'"

Kurt,,,,,you're an idiot.
Oh and Sarah Jessica Parker should have made over 10 million per picture and she should have just accepted making 20 times less right? What are you thinking? I applaud her for standing up for herself and getting her fair share of the SATC pie. And you know the other 2 actresses benefited from her taking a stand as well. I like her and I like that she believes in herself.
Funny-the one huy who says she was faking her English accent--she IS English-she was born there! Ha!
Hollywood chews people up and spits them out

I agree.
I hope Kim reads and gets a smile from you offer! I forget where I heard it, but none the less, 99.9 percent of actors do not succeed! The leading roles are typical youthful; general public influences this. :(
AMEN. Hollywood also eats its young.
If Hollywood doesn't want you, I will take you, Kim!

the great thing is she, and those in the same age bracket can ACT and do it well. The others can take a lesson.

Hollywood has always been the younger the more marketable! Now on top of that mentality we are overwhelmed with reality shows of women super thin and botox tight with no expressions! It would be nice to see real women with real curves and true faces. I beleive in staying healthy but not bone thin, and remember everything you put in your body has to filter through the liver; what is botox doing to your body. These women trying to stay young; remember some one prettier and younger is around the corner celebrate who you are while you can; own it.

Hollywood does not seem to mind Meryl Streep or Helen Merrin, Sally Field, Diane Keaton, the late Jessica Tandy, etc. real actors. What Hollywood (or the audience)does not want to see is an aged bimbo!! Nobody wants to see that.
It did not work for Mae West either. Time to hang it up Kimmiee...

Let's face it,SATC brainwashed millions of women. Kimmie is just the latest...she actually thought she was talented and relevant.

Kim if Hollywood does not want older actress what is Meryl Streep, Sharon Stone, Jodie Foster, Barbara Streistand, and others doing. You have just limited your market by making the
public think of you as a sex pot or prom queen of your earlier movies. Step out and make a name for yourself like they have or
get into production or market goods.

Mirren and Dench have talent. You do not. you are nothing but a wannabe cougar doing stupid butter ads.

Kim Cattrall's claim to fame was "Sex in the City". Before that she was pretty much unknown. She should be grateful and stop whinning.

You should have seen how God awful she was in foreign films.
