Kim Cattrall Reflects on Samantha Jones: An Icon's Legacy and Absence from 'And Just Like That'

Actress Kim Cattrall has recently opened up about her iconic portrayal of Samantha Jones in the groundbreaking series "Sex and the City." Cattrall's character, a free-spirited and highly successful public relations specialist, became a symbol of female sexual liberation, often drawing public commentary for her audacious independence. Reflecting on the role, Cattrall stated, "Samantha always knew what she wanted. She enjoyed the main course while others settled for appetizers." This perspective offers a deeper understanding of the character's unwavering confidence and self-assuredness. However, fans of the beloved series noted Cattrall's absence from the recent continuation, "And Just Like That."
