Kim Cattrall has been married three times: to Larry Davis from 1977 to 1979, to Andre J. Lyson from 1982 to 1989, and to Mark Levinson from 1998 to 2004. She has been in a relationship with Russel Thomas since 2016.
From 2014 to 2016, Cattrall starred on and served as executive producer of HBO Canada's Sensitive Skin, for which she received a nomination for the 2016 Canadian Screen Award for Best Actress in a Comedy Series. She went on to star on the Paramount+ series Tell Me a Story (2018–2019), the Fox series Filthy Rich (2020), the Peacock revival series Queer as Folk (2022), and the Netflix series Glamorous (2023). From 2022 to 2023, she played "future" Sophie on the Hulu sitcom How I Met Your Father.
In 2020, Cattrall starred on the Fox drama Filthy Rich, where she played Margaret Monreaux, the matriarch of a Southern family which has become mega-rich and famous for creating a wildly successful Christian television network. After her husband dies in a plane crash, Margaret and family are stunned to learn that he fathered three illegitimate children, all of whom are written into his will — threatening their family name and fortune. Cattrall also served as a producer on the series. Cattrall was honoured at the 2020 Atlanta TV festival with the Icon Award for the show.
In 2021, Cattrall was cast in the How I Met Your Mother spinoff series, How I Met Your Father led by Hilary Duff, in the pivotal narrator role originated by Bob Saget. The series ran for two seasons. She joined Robert De Niro in the comedy film About My Father (2023) inspired by the life of stand-up comedian Sebastian Maniscalco, who also stars. Cattrall featured prominently in the permanent exhibition Wondrous Place celebrating Liverpool's cultural heritage. In 2022, she starred on the Peacock revival series Queer as Folk. In 2023, Cattrall starred on the Netflix series Glamorous.
In 2009, Cattrall took part in the BBC One documentary series Who Do You Think You Are?. She discovered that her grandfather George Baugh disappeared in 1938, having abandoned his family (including Cattrall's then 8-year-old mother and her two younger sisters) and turned out to have bigamously married his new wife the following year in Tudhoe; he subsequently had another four children. Cattrall was told that Baugh immigrated to Australia in 1961, became a postmaster, retired in 1972, and died in Sydney in 1974. Her mother and aunts had known nothing of their father's life after he left until they heard what the Who Do You Think You Are? researchers had discovered, nor had the family previously seen a clear photograph of him. An edited version of the episode was later shown as a part of the U.S. series of the same name.
Cattrall briefly dated former Canadian Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau (and in 2016 was misidentified on 60 Minutes, from a 1981 photo, as Margaret, the mother of his sons Justin, Alexander, and Michel). She has also been connected to Brazilian-American actor Daniel Benzali, American musician Gerald Casale, French public intellectual Bernard-Henri Lévy, and British-Sudanese actor Alexander Siddig. She has been dating BBC employee Russell Thomas since 2016.

Cattrall began her career after graduating from Georges P. Vanier Secondary School in 1972, when she left Canada for the US. She attended the American Academy of Dramatic Arts in New York, and upon her graduation signed a five-year film deal with director Otto Preminger. She made her film debut in Preminger's action thriller Rosebud (1975). A year later, Universal Studios bought out that contract and Cattrall became one of the last participants in the contract player system of Universal (also referenced as MCA/Universal during this period) before the system ended in 1980. The Universal system's representative in New York, Eleanor Kilgallen (sister of Dorothy Kilgallen), cast Cattrall in numerous television guest-star roles. One of the first jobs Kilgallen got her was in a 1977 episode of Quincy, M.E. starring Jack Klugman, whom Kilgallen also represented.
Cattrall took part in the BBC Arts' I'm with the Banned, the flagship event in Belarus Free Theatre's (BFT) tenth-anniversary celebrations. Commissioned by The Space, the concert took place at London's KOKO and was broadcast worldwide. Radical underground company BFT brought together a unique line-up of musicians and performers to stand up for artistic freedom of expression and against injustice.

Kim Victoria Cattrall (born 21 August 1956) is a British, Canadian, and American actress. She is known for her portrayal of Samantha Jones on HBO's Sex and the City (1998–2004), for which she received five Primetime Emmy Award nominations and four Golden Globe Award nominations, winning the 2002 Golden Globe for Best Supporting Actress. She reprised the role in the feature films Sex and the City (2008) and Sex and the City 2 (2010), as well as guest starring on its revival And Just Like That... (2023).
In 2005, she appeared in the Disney film Ice Princess, in which she played Tina Harwood, ice skating coach of the film's lead character. She portrayed Claire, a paralysed woman who wants to die, in the West End drama revival of Whose Life Is It Anyway?. She appeared to rave reviews in a 2006 West End production of David Mamet's The Cryptogram at the Donmar Warehouse in London. She appeared in a number of British television commercials for Tetley Tea from 2005, as well as ads for Bacardi's Island Breeze cocktails. In 2006, a commercial for Nissan cars, which featured Cattrall as Samantha Jones, was withdrawn from New Zealand television, apparently because of complaints about its innuendo. She later starred alongside Brendan Gleeson in John Boorman's film The Tiger's Tail (2006), a black comedy that focuses on the impact of the Celtic Tiger economy on Irish people. On ITV, she starred alongside David Haig, Daniel Radcliffe and Carey Mulligan in My Boy Jack, the story of author Rudyard Kipling's search for his son lost in the First World War.
In 2016, Cattrall starred in the BBC mini-series The Witness for the Prosecution based on the Agatha Christie short story. The celebrated two part mini-series was nominated for a 2017 BAFTA award for "Best Mini-Series." In 2017, Cattrall also joined the cast of the hit Swedish TV show Modus, playing the President of the United States. Modus first aired in Sweden in 2015 and was later broadcast by BBC Four in the UK. The show also airs in Canada, Australia, France and Japan and is handled by FremantleMedia International. From 2018 to 2019, Cattrall starred on the Paramount+ series Tell Me a Story.
Development began on a revival of Sex and the City following the cancellation of a third film adaptation. Catrall previously expressed that she did not want to return for the third film due to disagreeing with its planned storylines, involving killing off Mr. Big, and Samantha receiving nude pictures from Miranda's 14-year-old son, Brady. The reboot titled And Just Like That... premiered in 2021. In 2022, Sarah Jessica Parker spoke on The Hollywood Reporter Award Chatter podcast about why Cattrall wasn't asked to be a part of the revival. She stated, "We did not ask her to be part of this because she made it clear that that wasn't something she wanted to pursue, and it no longer felt comfortable for us, and so it didn't occur to us". In 2023, however, Catrall reprised her role as Samantha for a brief cameo for the season 2 finale.
Cattrall funds an annual bursary at her high school alma mater, Georges P. Vanier Secondary School in Courtenay, British Columbia. The Kim Cattrall Bursary for the Performing Arts awards $3,000 to "applicants seeking post-secondary education and/or vocational training in the performing arts." In 2018, Cattrall joined Judi Dench as an ambassador for the Royal Botanical Kew Gardens in London.
