Spotlight on: Kim Cattrall

Even if Sex and the City had never happened, British born, B.C.-reared Canadian actress Kim Cattrall would go down as one of the most prolific, versatile and successful actors ever. A bona fide triple threat, 53-year-old Cattrall has scored in film, television and on stage in London's notoriously tough West End, earning rave reviews and boatloads of fans. Her small-screen dossier is wickedly impressive - Cattrall has appeared in everything from Starsky & Hutch to Columbo, Charlie's Angels to Incredible Hulk - but her big-screen appearances have left the most indelible mark. And as libidinous minx Samantha Jones on SATC, Cattrall is also among the very few to have successfully transitioned a character from one medium to another without missing a beat.
