Cattrall shocked to win Golden Globe

At the age of 46, Sex And The City star Kim Cattrall seemed shocked to win her first Golden Globe award for playing sexually adventurous Samantha Jones on the HBO comedy.

“I never expected to have a career in my 40s. I thought it was over. The amount of jobs I was up for were basically cut in half,” she said.

It took three tries before Cattrall was persuaded to take on the Sex And The City role which has revitalised her career.

“I, too, believed that women aren’t supposed to be sexual or sexy in their 40s and not empowered and strong in the world,” she explained.

“I’m so proud and pleased to be the actress who got to play a character like that and got to break those stereotypes.”

But the award-winning show is now set to end after its sixth season is filmed in New York this year.

“I’m very sad. It was an executive decision,” said Cattrall, who is currently producing a documentary for HBO entitled Sexual Intelligence.
