No substitute for Kim
Oh dear. handbags on the Sex and The City front, where the stars have fallen out over making a third hollywood film. Kim Cattrall, who played sex-mad Samantha, has pulled out at the last minute — calling her co-stars ‘toxic’. Sarah Jessica Parker (pictured with
Kim) finds this regrettable, but believe me it wasn’t as regrettable as Sex and The City 2, which was an insult to all of us. I can see why Kim is not keen.
at 61, she is a decade older than her co- stars. even super- cougars like Samantha have a shelf life, and it would be awful to see her prowling around Manhattan throwing herself at geriatric younger men.
diehard fans want the film to go ahead with or without her. But Samantha is irreplaceable, the key character. It’s not like Miss ellie in dallas, who was summarily replaced with another actress when Barbara Bel Geddes retired. That would never work for Satc, would it? Unless ab Fab’s Patsy Stone was free . . .
