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.'"

In the real world the same thing is taking place Kim. People our age finding empolyment more difficult to find. Having 30 years of experience means you earn too much. And today you are going to get what you deserve. So we march on darling.
Hugs and kisses

Alright Kim! It really is such a rarity to hear women our age exhibit this kind of strength in our society. Why the hell shouldn't we be proud of who we really are? You're in great shape, you look good, and you carry yourself well; what more can they (Hollywood) ask for? Stay strong, you will continue to do well. I hear unbeatable confidence from you, if you let go of that, THEN you'll be defeated.

I really doubt that in her 20's and 30's Ms. Cattrall spent any time at all decrying ageism in Hollywood, instead, she was happily accepting the roles that she was being offered due in part to her looks.
I guess that was the brainwashing, or perhaps instead it was simple marketability. Look at the demographics of who goes to the movie theatre and buys tickets, and you will find that it is a young audience. That audience has a certain perspective and unfortunately for Kim Cattrall, that is a taste for younger actresses.

J.K. Rowling expressed disgust and horror at the negative effects on girls/women in the USA, saying how glad she was that her girls weren't being raised here. Maybe we can follow in the UK's healthy footsteps and have actors of ALL ages cast as normal people in well-written roles! In the meantime, I hope Kim explores work in the UK where women and girls are depicted as "normal" at all ages. Seeing a 22 year old bombshell cast as a scientific genius is unsulting and stupid. Kim-- love your attitude!!!

Hollywood needs to realize that its those of us who are older who have the money these days to spend on watching movies with older actors, ase well as we are the ones who have the money to purchase the products that advertisers hawk, which is what pays the execs salaries at the studios.

While I agree that Hollywood hates women in general, I'd like to point out that pretty much every year or so Meryl Streep is nominated for an Oscar. That's because she has serious talent. I haven't seen a whole lot of that from Ms. Katrall.

Has nothing to do with age Kim. You are just not that good of an actress.

No matter what Kim's age is at this time, Kim looks beautiful and she has a great attitude as well!

That's all right Kim, you're a natural, and still as beautiful as ever. Hollywood is going down anyway, dealing with all those skinny, sick looking ARTIFICAL BEINGS that they call women. None of em have anything on you. God bless you and YOU GO GIRL!
