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.'"

Kim,,,Your 15 minutes of fame are OVER. (In your case, probably 1/2 hour's worth). Hollywood has always been about glitz, glamour, and un-reality. If you stick around, maybe you could be the new Betty White? After all,,she wasn't famous until she was around 70. (89 and still kicking) Just be thankfull that you haven't turned into an old shrew who lives in oblivion.

At 54, Kim is a beautiful and sexy woman. She is an actress. I am 59 and think she is wonderful. Casting agents should look at experience and talent. In thirty years, the casting agents will cast aside Vannessa Hudgens.

Huh?
If you say the directors don't want you, then direct yourself in a movie. Been done many times with other actors/actresses. Don't say "why?", say "why not?!"

I've always felt that way for years. A lot of the male stars who feel aged out or just want to work get a producing partner and write their own projects not wait to be deluged with scripts. If kim wants to work pick up the pen put it to paper and create!
Kim MADE SATC! Without her, the films would have been lame. She deserves a lot more credit than she has received. Go Kim! You show them! Don't quit now! You still have a lot to offer an audience!

woman are old after 50 - they loose there looks - there wrinkles and turkey necks show and it makes men want to vomit - you want to scream when you see an old lady in stilletos and long flowing wigs - all you old ladies get a grip on life - your not attracting men anymore - your scaring them

whatever makes you think they want to attract men????.....they mostly dress for themselves and has nothing to do with a man.....lolololo
Do you mean to tell me that with the right makeup artist and the right lighting tech, that the cameras cannot be kind to an aging actress/actor (and the aging applies to actors looking for mature roles, as well)?

The reason Hollywood is ageist is because Hollywood is run by MEN who think that the young women that they date and marry would really want them if they weren't rich and powerful. She's right, an older man like Harrison Ford, Brad Pitt, Tom Hanks, etc. will always have a leading lady that's young enough to be his daughter or in some cases granddaughter because that's a man's fantasy. They don't want a woman their own age because they would then have to accept the fact that they're getting older. I remember when The Thomas Crown Affair came out with Pierce Brosnan and Renee Russo...so much was made out of the fact that they were close to the same age and it was shocking to the media that two middle-aged people could be sexy, hot and attracted to each other. Kim Cattrall should be working because she's beautiful and talented, my suggestion is write, direct, star in and produce your own projects.

she knew how Hollywood was when she was a young actress. times haven't changed.
and as women age they go for the younger guys, just like older guys go for younger women.
maybe you can't get younger in anything.
Kurt is one angry mother and has no taste. Kim Cattrall is one hell of an actress. She made Sex and the City and burns up the screen in Monica Velour and on PBS in 'Any Human Heart'. U should see her on stage in the west end in London. She's terrific. You obviously don't care for talented woman or beautiful woman or powerful women. Somebody don't like his Mommy, Kurt.... Leave Kim alone. She rocks!
Your taste is in ur behind......
