Kim Cattrall, 51, got the $6 million she held up the Sex and The City movie for and isn’t apologetic about negotiating for enough money to secure a comfortable designer-filled retirement. Now that the movie is out and is a big success, she’s not afraid to discuss a major blunder the script writers almost made during the HBO run that was narrowly averted by her outspoken objection. She says they wanted her sex-obsessed character, Samantha, to get fellatio advice from an underage girl who was just 13. Cattrall says the scene was cut after she refused to do it, and advises parents not to let their young daughters watch the television show or the movie due to the very adult themes:

Cattrall, who plays maneater Samantha Jones, insists the age restrictions are there for a reason – as the content in the film is too racy for youngsters.

She says, “This is not a show made for an eight-year-old, they don’t need to know about this stuff… I want to say to women, this is not for all women.

“It’s adult entertainment – it’s an R-rated film”.

And the actress admits that the only time she has vetoed a script was during the TV series, when writers created a storyline that involved her character taking tips on fellatio from a 13-year-old girl. She adds, “I thought, no, stop – this would never happen unless a woman was insane. And I think that’s the only time in the film and TV series that I said, I’m so sorry, but I can’t make that work.’ And they re-wrote it”.

Can you imagine if this plot would have gone through? It could potentially have derailed the entire television series with the well-deserved objections it would have raised. Maybe the writers were careless because they were writing so much racy material it didn’t occur to them that they were way out of line with that story. It’s a good thing they listened to Cattrall and didn’t use it.

I finally saw the Sex and The City movie last weekend, and can admit that I was fooled by a fake planted spoiler that I won’t discuss here in case there are some who are waiting to see it still. (If you’re a reader and have seen the film, you can easily figure out what I’m talking about.) There were parts where it dragged, and I didn’t like the way it ended and thought it was too label-whorish, but it was a great film overall and well worth seeing. Sarah Jessica Parker has said that there has been no talk about a sequel yet, and that it would “look greedy on our part” to discuss it. Maybe the series has run its course, but it will hopefully open the door for more movies featuring female characters in their late 30s and 40s.
