I want to use my platform to tell stories about women my age

Kim Cattrall has said she wants to use her platform to tell stories of women her age who have experienced loss.

The 64-year-old “Sex and the City” star told the Women’s Prize For Fiction podcast that she was becoming “increasingly impatient” with the speed at which gender issues are changing in her industry.

Cattrall, whose brother and father died in recent years, said the loss was a major feature of the last few years of her life.

In the podcast she said: “I want to use my platform to tell stories about women my age who have experienced loss.

“The loss is the biggest headline of my 60s so far.”

The actress announced the death of her brother Christopher Cattrall in 2018.

She said that after his death she was left with “so many unanswered questions.”

“There are so many unanswered questions about death, but when it’s so shocking and so immediate, it’s a harrowing experience and changes you irrevocably and in some ways for the better,” she said.

“You become more aware of the world and realize how vulnerable people are, how vulnerable we all are.”

Cattrall also talked about being on set with Donald Trump while filming “Sex and the City.”

The US President made a cameo appearance on the show, sitting in the background of a shot eating lunch with Cattrall’s character Samantha Jones.

“When we got to the set, he didn’t introduce himself,” she said.

“One of the crew said, ‘Hey, he insulted us.’

“Usually a guest star, especially someone who is well known in New York, like (Michael) Bloomberg or someone else, will come up to us, shake hands and say, ‘Hi, we’re New Yorkers.'”

Cattrall said she became a U.S. citizen so she could vote in the last election, adding that it was an “extraordinary time” for the country.

She said things have been happening in New York recently that she has “never experienced” since she moved to the city in 1973.

Before the pandemic broke out, it was a “gross domestic product,” she said.

“I live not far from Trump Tower and that part of the city was just destroyed. It just became a circus,” Cattrall said.

Barricades, protests and security measures have changed the character of the area, she said.
