Sex And The City


Sex And The City I don't know if it will happen. I really, really have no idea. I love playing Samantha Jones. I would love playing Samantha Jones again, but I don't know if I will. Originally I was asked to do the movie with no script, no start date, and a very paltry sum. I thought the three of us should fight for a piece of what we created and that was my reluctance. The four of us were not set for life. We were on cable TV and we were not making nearly what our counterparts in television were making. I thought we were working damn hard and it was the time to negotiate that.

For basically four or five days work in 'Porky's' I made enough money to live over an eight month period. I needed the money, I was broke and I made that choice for survival. I didn't want to go back and be a waitress again," Cattrall said adding that it changed her entire career path. "I started not to be seen as this girl with a theater background. It made me this objectified sexy girl next door and 'Mannequin' and 'Police Academy' were a natural graduation from 'Porky's' and I didn't take it seriously. I couldn't get in the door to meet the directors that Michelle Pfeiffer was.

Cattrall plays the opposite of the headstrong publicist Samantha Jones as a washed up porn star, aptly named Monica Velour, in her latest flick, which forced her to gain 20 lbs.They asked me to gain 30 but I didn't want to make myself sick," Cattrall said. "We made a deal saying I would gain 15 lbs before the film and 5 lbs during. But I did enjoy grabbing my stomach and feeling what that extra weight felt like.With 'Monica Velour,' Cattrall gains some serious street cred as a screen actress, something she shelved decades ago in order to pay rent and, as she says, support her low-paying "theater habit.
